5.2 Compiling libraries
By default, Vortex assumes separate compilation of libraries. In this mode, only non-library code is compiled into the gen directory (i.e., those files that are not in any library). Code for files in a library, say, my-lib, is compiled into the subdirectory my-lib of the directory determined by the string option libs_dir, e.g., ${VORTEX_HOME}/Cecil/lib.
When compiling a program, Vortex automatically checks if the libraries the program includes are up-to-date, and if not, recompiles them. The first time a library is compiled, Vortex creates the appropriate directory for its compiled code.
