gprbuild: Build a specific [P]roject file.

gprbuild

$ gprbuild -P${project_name}

try on your machine

The command "gprbuild -P${project_name}" is used to build a project specified by the variable 'project_name' using the GPRbuild tool.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

"gprbuild": This is the command used to invoke the GPRbuild tool, which is a build system for Ada programming language projects. GPRbuild is responsible for compiling and linking the source code as well as managing project dependencies and configurations.
"-P": This option is used to specify the project file that GPRbuild should use for building the project. The project file typically has a .gpr extension and contains information about the project's source files, compilation options, dependencies, and other related settings.
"${project_name}": This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the project file (without the .gpr extension) you want to build. The variable is expanded to its value before executing the command.

By running this command, GPRbuild will use the specified project file to compile and build the Ada project, following the configurations and instructions defined in the project file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
