A build program is responsible for converting a [Source Object
|
|
|
|
|
:ref](../../db/obj/) into final build artifacts. Typically such a build
|
|
|
|
|
program implements two methods: [produce_artifacts :ref](produce-artifacts/)
|
|
|
|
|
and [build_artifact :ref](build-artifact/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The former should invoke [declare_artifact :ref](declare-artifact/) for each
|
|
|
|
|
artifact that should be created from the source. The builder will then
|
|
|
|
|
invoke [build_artifact :ref](build-artifact/) for each of these declared

artifacts if the builder determines that the artifact needs to be built.
