<p>The <strong>MUtilities</strong> library is a collection of routines and classes to extend the <ahref="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 <ahref="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 & 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 <ahref="https://github.com/lordmulder"><em>other OpenSource projects</em></a>.</p>
<p>The <em>MUtilities</em> project directory is structured as follows:</p>
<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>
<li><code>res/</code>– resouce files, required for building the MUtilities library</li>
<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>
