Support/Updates --------------- - Updates will be available via Aminet® - Support will be available via the authors email address and via http://www.hofmann-int.de/products/amiga/mui/MCCLib.shtml Author ------ Dipl.-Inform. Kai Hofmann Arberger Heerstraße 92 28307 Bremen Germany Phone: (+49)-(0)421/480780 EMail: hofmann@hofmann-int.de IRC : PowerStat@#AmigaGer WWW : http://www.hofmann-int.de/ Description ----------- MCCLib serves as a basis for writing public MUI Custom Classes including preference classes. It is a competitor to "mccheader.c" giving a custom class developer the basic library initialization code. MCCLib features: - Supports 68000-68060 including FPUs - Automatically generates version-string including copyright and CPU information - Supports preference classes including preference images - Easier to use than mccheader.c - Well formatted/readable source code - Works with SAS/C® and GCC 2.7.2.1 - Is prepared for working with StormC, Maxon C++, DICE C 3.x, VBCC, Aztec C and Lattice C To compile a MCC/MCP with SAS/C® use the following compiler options as an example: sc opt strict ansi commentnest noicons nolink math=standard nostackcheck \ nostkext strmer memsize=huge def=__MakeLib objname=MyClass_mcc.o \ MyClass_mcc.c slink MyClass_mcc.o to MyClass.mcc noicons sc sd lib lib:amiga.lib lib:sc.lib GCC developers, please be careful - it is not possible to compile with "-fbaserel" (a4 relative compiling)! A4 relative compiling fails since there are too many registers used in UserLipOpen/MUI_CreateCustomClass. To create a Style Guide conform versionstring date, please define __AMIGADATE__ with the following tool which can be found on Aminet CD5 or SET1a: Aminet:dev/c/AmigaDate.lha To compile a MCC/MCP with GCC use the following compiler options as an example: gcc -noixemul -nostdlib -nostartfiles -IMUI:Developer/C/include -s -O2 \ -msmall-code -o MyClass.mcc MyClass_mcc.c -lnix -lgcc -lamiga Requirements ------------ - MUI 3.1 Developer - SAS/C® or GCC 2.7.2.1 Installation ------------ Copy the Developer/C/Examples/MCCLib.c file to wherever you want - it is recommended to copy it into your include path.
