coffIT - create obj and lib static libraries from PB source!

[SFSxOI]

Thank you srod...another great contribution to the PB coding arsenal.

29/02/2008. Update - coffIT 1.0 beta 2.
In the event of a successful compilation, coffIT generated log files will now list all external functions / symbols required by the resulting .obj or .lib file etc.
This is useful when hoping to use your resulting static library in other programming languages etc.

This is on top of the coffIT generated Purebasic import wrappers which will list all Windows libraries required by the .lib etc.

===================================

*EDIT : you're welcome SFSxOI.

04/03/2008. Update - coffIT 2.0 beta 1.
coffIT now offers MSCOFF .obj or MSCOFF static library (.lib) output formats.

I advise reading the relevant parts of the help manual regarding the choice of creating .obj or .lib files, because it is worth understanding how coffIT proceeds here as well as the reason why I would not necessarily suggest using .lib files!

09/03/2008. Bugfix.
When creating a static .lib, coffIT (more precisely, Fasm!) would crash out if a 'Data' statement contained repeated addresses of the same procedure.

coffIT is now compatible with PB 4.2. A certain alteration was required to keep pace with one alteration made to PB's generated ASM code.

Added a version of coffIT for PB 4.2. The 4.1 version will not function correctly for PB 4.2 and visa versa.
The download links are in the second post of this thread.

I get a 404, but it might just be me ?

[srod]

No, it's me!

Temporarily removed because with a slight adjustment the PB 4.1 version of coffIT can work with PB 4.2. Silly to have two versions!

The link will be back up in a minute.

**EDIT : the link is back up. The new version of coffIT should work with both PB 4.1 and 4.2.

Thanks, works now !

There is now a version of coffIT for PB 4.4 (x86 only). The PB 4.4 generated ASM had changed ever so very slightly; enough to confuse the hell out of coffIT!

This is to be considered a test version at this moment in time as I have not had time to test it as much as I would like.

This new version adds support for all of PB 4.4's new data-types (when creating PB wrappers) including the new hash maps etc.

See the nxSoftware site for the download.

Tested with PB 4.41 RC1 only.

Thanks srod, I owe you one!

I'll do some testing and let you know if I run into any trouble.

I tried to download CoffIT from the nxSoftware site, the link is broken. I found a version on PureArea that identifies itself as 2.0 but when I try the included examples CoffIT just hangs. I'm using PureBasic 5.0 b3 x86 running on 64bit Windows.

Not even sure I could find the source Lloyd, it's been so long since I even looked at it.

It is certainly not maintained anymore and I doubt whether it even still works.

Why does not work this program?
When you create a lib-file reports an error.

There are no exports within this file.

Code from a folder with examples.

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL Msg(text$)
   MessageBox_(0, @text$, "Message from coffIT!", 0)
EndProcedure 

Using version 2.0, produced in 2008. Other versions of nowhere download.

If you look at the post before yours the answer should be in there somewhere.
