Compiling the MLib package

Building the Library on UNIX

On UNIX, MLib uses the standard GNU build system, using autoconf for package configuration and resolving portability issues, automake for building makefiles that comply with the GNU Coding Standards, and libtool for building static libraries. The normal sequence for compiling and installing the MLib library is thus:

          ./configure --enable-gtk-doc
          make
          make install

The standard options provided by GNU autoconf may be passed to the configure script. Please see the autoconf documentation or run ./configure --help for information about the standard options.

Dependencies

Before you can compile the MLib library, you need to have various other tools and libraries installed on your system. The two tools needed during the build process (as differentiated from the tools used in when creating MLib mentioned above such as autoconf) are pkg-config and GNU make.

pkg-config is a tool for tracking the compilation flags needed for libraries that are used by the GLib library. (For each library, a small .pc text file is installed in a standard location that contains the compilation flags needed for that library along with version number information.)
The GTK+ makefiles will mostly work with different versions of make, however, there tends to be a few incompatibilities, so the GTK+ team recommends installing GNU make if you don't already have it on your system and using it. (It may be called gmake rather than make.)

MLib depends on a number of other libraries.

For all dependencies, you must to have installed in your system the GLib library and the DSLib library before you can compile the MLib library.

Building the Library on WIN32

Su Win32, MLib non utilizza il sistema autotool. E' disponibile un pacchetto dedicato e compilato per sistemi a 32bit.

          scaricare il pacchetto mlib-0.2-win32.rar
          posizionare il pacchetto scaricato nella posizione C:
          estrarre il pacchetto nella posizione C:
          rimuovere il pacchetto compresso mlib-0.2-win32.rar o archiviarlo

Adesso la libreria è pronta per l'uso.
