CompilerΒΆ
The ZTC compiler takes a project as input and produces an executable bytecode file ready to be uplinked on a virtualized.
The command:
ztc compile project target
compiles the source files found at project
(the project path) for a device with target target
.
The entry point of the program is the file main.py
. Every additional Python module needed wil be searched in the following order:
- Project directory
- Directories passed with the
-I
option in the given order (see below) - The Zerynth standard library
- The installed libraries
Since Zerynth programs allow mixed C/Python code, the compiler also scans for C source files and compiles them with the appropriate C compiler for target
.
C object files are packed and included in the output bytecode.
The compile command accepts additional options:
-I/--include path
, addspath
to the list of directories scanned for Zerynth modules. This option can be repeated multiple times.-D/--define def
, adds a C macro definition as a parameter for native C compiler. This option can be repeated multiple times.-o/--output path
, specifies the path for the output file. If not specified it ismain.vbo
in the project folder.
