Setting up the distribution tree

Once you decide on the structure of your product, for each component in the product, generate a distribution tree using your standard development tools:

1. Set up your source tree, using the product structure you defined.

   Get the files from your source code version management system (such as SCCS).

2. Build the source tree.

   For example, run make.

3. Create the distribution (dist) tree. The dist tree contains the files in your component ready for distribution.

   For example, run make install.

   The root of the dist tree should be located relative to the top of the SSO for the component (SSOroot) The CDMT tools use the distTreeRoot attribute in the CDMT input files to determine the location of the distribution files. See cdmtInput(CDMT).

Once you set up the distribution tree, you are ready to set up the CDMT environment.
