How do you make PB code into a library?

[netmaestro]

without using tailbite...

Say I have this code:

Code: Select all

ProcedureDll.l CreateStandardWindow(w.l, h.l) 
   Win=OpenWindow(#PB_Any,0,0,w,h,#PB_Window_Systemmenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered,"Standard Window") 
   ProcedureReturn Win 
Endprocedure 

and I want to make a library command out of it so it's available to me whenever I want to use it. How is this done? How does Tailbite do it?

i think the pb compiler will convert your code to ASM and then it will compiled to an OBJ file... the linker will link the OBJ file to the final exe.. just an idea...

Tailbite comes with source, so study them

[netmaestro]

Yes, src.pack - how do I install it?

[El_Choni]

Pu it in the TailBite directory, then open TBManager.exe, and click on "Extract sources"

Ah, thanks. That's the ticket.

if don't mind tagging along a dll, you could just make a dll and a .def file and then an import lib, see viewtopic.php?t=15687
then just import the functions (PB 4)
for example

Code: Select all

ImportC "MSVCRT.LIB"
  sprintf.l(result.s,num_format.s,number.d) As "_sprintf"
  sprintq.l(number.q,result.s,radix.l) As "__ui64toa"
  atoi64.q(number.s) As "__atoi64"
EndImport

;example use
n.l
s.s
y.q
Avogadro.d=6.0221415e23
s=Space(25)        ;allocate space
sprintf(s,"%18.15e",Avogadro)
debug s
n=sprintf("","%18.15e",Avogadro) ;supply a null "" as destination, to get the character length needed to "print" to string. 
debug "number of characters required to print "+str(n)
y=atoi64("123")

Thank you Jack. That's a very helpful post.

Don't try to do a Linux Tailbite, it's nearly done(just a few parts are missing).

Don't try to do a Linux Tailbite, it's nearly done(just a few parts are missing).

Only thing left would be a OSX tailbite

Don't know, because I don't have a mac :-S . If I would get the money from Fred I would do it.
