5.3 Control file mkfli4l.txt

Since fli4l-Version 2.1.9 the control file <config>/mkfli4l.txt exists. This file can e.g. be used to specify directories which differ from the standard settings. The control file has a similar structure as the normal fli4l configuration files. All configuration variables here are optional, i.e. they need not exist or they can be commented out.

BUILDDIR

Default: `build'

Specifies the directory where fli4l files will be created. If the variable is undefined, the Windows mkfli4l sets it to `build' relative to the fli4l root directory, resulting in the directory. build in the fli4l root directory:

    Path/fli4l-x.y.z/build

Under *nix mkfli4l is using <config>/build and is thus filing the generated files together with the configuration.

The path for BUILDDIR must use the conventions of the Operating Systems Windows oder *nix. If relative paths configured there are converted by the build to the syntax of windows or *nix.

VERBOSE

Default: VERBOSE='no'

Possible values are 'yes' or 'no'. Controls the Verbosity of the Build Processes.

Default: FILESONLY='no'

Possible values are 'yes' or 'no'. This will actually turn off the creation of the boot-media and only the files will be created -

Default: SSHKEYFILE=''

Here you can specify a SSH key file for the SCP Remote update. Thus, an update can be made without specifying a password.
