60 <h3>Automatic building</h3>
62 <p>In general this is going to be hard because each systems has it's own build mechanism and quirks. The intend was initially to create a script that normalized those quirks but it was later decided to create a build_los178 script that has particular knowledge of LOS178.</p>
64 <p>So far the set up and initial build steps are done. It's not optimal, more like a mirroring of the steps that a builder would do - but it's a start. One problem is that through Perl one cannot expect to `. SETUP.bash` and expect environment variables to remain in force. This is because Perl execs a subshell to perform the command and after that subshell dies so does its environment. For now build_los178 has a subroutine coded that mimicks what SETUP.bash does. This is not good because if SETUP.bash changes then that would break this until it was likewised changed. I need to find a better way to do this...</p>
