Some time ago browse aminet, and found that was released (or just reuploaded?) new version of Chocolate Castle: Parametrized MUI MCC code generator , writen by Krashan for morphos: http://aminet.net/package/dev/mui/chocolatecastle

In few words: its for those ones who write mui apps from scratch, and want to automate mui custom class code creation.

I do not know if Krashan still works on it, and what is new in that 0.8 version (as far as i can see all changelogs point out to 0.7 version only), and who is now mantain it if not him (so i can apply aos4 changes to)..

All i do its make it works on os4 with some help (you know who you are:) ), added some code to make iconification on wb to have icon, stack cookie, fixed few little typos, made some cosmetic (a little update .guide, os4 native icons), but what is most important: made that mui mcc code generation be os4 related. Currently it through use IPTR for some defines , as well as you need to use -D__USE_INLINE__ for. If anyone will have needs for some changes in produced code, feel free to suggest, as it easy to change.

Anyway, before uploading it to os4depot there is for tests: http://kas1e.mikendezign.com/aos4/ChocolateCastle_03.lha

There is also LibMaker (see post #7 for more info) and download link.

Have fun!

I don't use MUI, but this sounds like a lovely ide! Hurray!

According to the article on this page:
http://www.warmup-asso.fr/article.php?sid=1871&thold=0
LibMaker succeeds the old ChocolateCastle program.
I don't know if it includes the MCC code generator or is a completely different program. It might be worth checking out. It's on Aminet too.

Yeah, indeed. Will be good to port that one as well.

I made initial port of LibMaker as well:

(press on image for full size)

Through as Krashan say LibMaker heavily relies on MorphOS lua.library, so to make it run on os4 i had either reimplement lua.library for OS4 or link with Lua statically and replace lua.library calls with Lua C API calls (which are mostly 1:1) : and that what i doing already, through not fully deal with at moment, so no test binary at moment.

Also, even if it looks like ChocolateCastle successor, it is currently build libraries only, but not mui classes (even if it have some ghosted buttons for future to integrate with).

So, there will be good to have both apps : one for mui class generation, another one for libraries generation.

@all
After a while ported LibMaker as well!

Resized Image

Don't skip, its more than just generator :) You can save/load "projects", so you always can remove/add new functions/arguments/etc to your library. Original part from readme:

Quote:

LibMaker is a GUI based tool generating code skeletons of shared libraries. As such it is the successor of old ChocolateCastle program. After entering specifications of a library and its set of function, LibMaker generates a complete, ready to compile project template, with makefile and standard include files. Version 0.11 can generate a shared library skeleton for MorphOS or for AmigaOS 3 (M68k). Defined library projects may be saved for later reuse or adding new functions. LibMaker preserves existing functions, so library can be developed incrementally. The program features extensive bubble help, so there is less need to look at the manual. Future versions of the program will handle BOOPSI and MUI classes, as well as generation of code for AmigaOS 4.

The code generation is performed by Lua scripts, which may be modified by users. New scripts can be added without program recompilation, for example using SDI macros, or generating static libraries.

Porting wasn't very easy, as it based on morphos lua implementation, where it implemented as shared library (lua.library), and all the functions are morphos specific (through most of them are the same equavalents of originals). So what i do in end:

-- make it builds for os4: relevant makefile for os4, rewrite hooks and dispatchers, added missing functions and so on.
-- replaced all lua.library morphos functionality on usual lua's ones which inbuild staticaly to binary.
-- fixed a bit lua scripts so they works on os4. Changes are just remove of "require('base')" as on morphos that module done as shared one, and have no needs to be required on os4 version of statically builded lua.
-- os4 version of stack cookie
-- added code to have iconification on WB with app's icon and not with default mui one.
-- os4 native icons
-- fixed some mui related bugs with help of Thore (like transparency of some checkmark objects, trashed memory in some situations and co).
-- usuall stuff which make no sense to point out.

Through, currently it generate libraries skeletons for OS3 and MORPHOS only, adding of AOS4 support there is kind of trivial, just need to make the same lua script (see libgen.lua in os3 or mos scripts directory). And if anybody can help me with, that will be helpfull. Adding AOS4 button for generator will be trivial.

There is:
http://kas1e.mikendezign.com/aos4/LibMaker_01.lha

Also,

New version of ChocolateCastle:
- Fixed transparency of some checkmark objects, thanks Thore
- Added italian catalog by Samo

There is: http://kas1e.mikendezign.com/aos4/ChocolateCastle_02.lha

Also, all source code with aos4 changes uploaded to my github acc: https://github.com/kas1e/mui_ports_to_os4 , from where if all will be going well Krashan will integrate to latest versions of his apps. But in meantime for checking and maybe for learning purposes that can be helpfull.

Everything done with "amigaos4 ifdefs", so it is easy to see what i change.

Enjoy !

Just popping in

Every project on github automatically gets a bugtracker. I really recommend to use it.

Why stop it now, just when I am hating it?
