Create software installation file — `makesis.exe`

Purpose
Command line syntax

Purpose

Makesis creates software installation packages based on source PC/target EPOC file locations defined in a .pkg, package file. Unless explicitly specified, the name of the new installation file will be the same as the package file, but with the extension .sis. See Package file format for information on .pkg file format.

For more information about application installation, and for examples demonstrating how to use makesis, see Installing EPOC applications and Makesis example projects respectively.

Command line syntax

makesis [-v ] [-h ] [-s ] source [destination]

For information about how to interpret the syntax, see BNF grammars.

Arguments

`-v`	Verbose. Prints output from `makesis` to the screen
`-h`	Help Page. Shows `makesis` usage information
`-s`	Stub. Generates a residual `.sis` file for each language defined in the package file. The extension is `.``s`xx, where xx is the number of the language, e.g. `.s10`.

Notes

EPOC uses stub files to determine the files associated with installed applications. The facility to produce stub files is needed only by ROM builders — to prevent users from installing low build number versions of an application over a higher build number version in ROM.
