Renaming myexe.link

[NOhs]

I think we should have a general dependency name for one target on another. An executable might depend on a library. But an executable might also depend on a header only target! The build-system should just know what to do:

dependence on header only library:

• Add include files

dependence on library:

• Add include files
• Add linking

so how about

# Build a library
[mylib]
target_type = "sharedlibrary"
[mylib.sources]
include_directories = ["mylib/include"]
source_directories = ["mylib/src"]

[myheaderlib]
target_type = "headerlibrary"
[myheaderlib.sources]
include_directories = ["myheaderlib/include"]

# Build an executable and link the library
[myexe]
output_name = "runExe"
target_type = "executable"
dependencies = ["mylib", "myheaderlib"]
[myexe.sources]
include_directories = ["myexe/include"]
source_directories = ["myexe/src"]
[myexe.flags]
link = ["-DMYLIB_SOME_DEFINE"]

[GPMueller]

Agreed, the <targetname>.link section is not needed.

Ok, I removed it in my current branch.
