<h1 data-number="1" id="introduction"><span class="header-section-number">1</span> Introduction</h1>
<p>The <strong>MUtilities</strong> library is a collection of routines and classes to extend the <a href="http://qt-project.org/"><em>Qt cross-platform framework</em></a>. It contains various convenience and utility functions as well as wrappers for OS-specific functionalities. The library was originally created as a "side product" of the <a href="http://lamexp.sourceforge.net/"><strong>LameXP</strong></a> application: Over the years, a lot of code, <strong>not</strong> really specific to <em>LameXP</em>, had accumulated in the <em>LameXP</em> code base. Some of that code even had been used in other projects too, in a "copy &amp; paste" fashion – which had lead to redundancy and much complicated maintenance. In order to clean-up the LameXP code base, to eliminate the ugly redundancy and to simplify maintenance, the code in question has finally been refactored into the <strong>MUtilities</strong> (aka "MuldeR's Utilities for Qt") library. This library now forms the foundation of <em>LameXP</em> and <a href="https://github.com/lordmulder"><em>other OpenSource projects</em></a>.</p>

<p>The <em>MUtilities</em> project directory is organized as follows:</p>
Documentation updates.
2016-12-19 02:43:38 +01:00
<ul>
<li><code>bin/</code> – compiled library files (static or shared), link those files in projects that use the MUtilities library</li>
<li><code>docs/</code> – programming interface documentation, generated with Doxygen tool</li>
<li><code>etc/</code> – miscellaneous files, everything that doesn't fit in anywhere else</li>
<li><code>include/</code> – public header files, include this directory in projects that use the MUtilities library</li>
<li><code>obj/</code> – object code files, intermediate files generated during the build process</li>
Fixed some typos + moved "main" page to a separate .dox file.
2016-12-19 17:46:05 +01:00
<li><code>res/</code> – resource files, required for building the MUtilities library</li>
Documentation updates.
2016-12-19 02:43:38 +01:00
<li><code>src/</code> – source code files, required for building the MUtilities library (third-party code in <code>src/3rd_party/</code>)</li>
<li><code>test/</code> – unit tests, based on Google Test framework</li>
<li><code>tmp/</code> – temporary files, automatically generated during the build process</li>
</ul>

<h1 data-number="3" id="example"><span class="header-section-number">3</span> Example</h1>
Some documentation updates.
2016-12-19 17:09:58 +01:00
<p>Here is a minimal example on how to use the <em>MUtilities</em> library in your project:</p>
<pre><code>//MUtils
#include &lt;MUtils/Global.h&gt;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
qDebug(&quot;Random number: %u\n&quot;, MUtils::next_rand_u32());
}</code></pre>

<h2 data-number="3.1" id="build-notes"><span class="header-section-number">3.1</span> Build Notes</h2>
Some documentation updates.
2016-12-19 17:09:58 +01:00
<ul>
<li>In order to use the <em>MUtilities</em> library in your project, your build environment must have already been set up for building Qt-based projects. Setting up Qt is <em>not</em> covered by this document.</li>
Updated copyright year.
2021-02-08 20:59:25 +01:00
<li>Additionally, make sure that <em>MUtilities'</em> <code>include/</code> directory is contained in your "Additional Include Directories" and that the <em>MUtilities'</em> <code>bin/</code> directory is contained in your "Additional Library Directories".</li>
Fixed some typos + moved "main" page to a separate .dox file.
2016-12-19 17:46:05 +01:00
<li>Finally, make sure that your project links against the <code>MUtils32-1.lib</code> library file. For each build configuration, pick the proper <strong>.lib</strong> file from the corresponding <code>bin/&lt;platform&gt;/&lt;config&gt;/</code> directory!</li>
Updated copyright year.
2021-02-08 20:59:25 +01:00
<li>If your projects intends to use the <em>MUtilities</em> library as a <strong>static</strong> library, then the macro <code>MUTILS_STATIC_LIB</code> <em>must</em> be added to your project's "Preprocessor Definitions".</li>
Some documentation updates.
