Fork of mcpp, a C/C++ preprocessor

mcpp

This is a fork of mcpp. mcpp is a C/C++ preprocessor used by the Ice Slice compilers.

This fork consists of a simplified version of mcpp 2.7.2 plus various fixes, tailored to the Slice compilers requirements. Its build system creates only a static library and no command-line preprocessor. The configure script was replaced by a custom config.h suitable for Windows, OS X and Linux builds. Tests and other optional files were removed.

The resulting static library is later used when creating the Ice Slice shared library or statically-linked Slice compilers such as slice2js.

Build Instructions

Linux, OS X and Windows with MinGW

Simply type:

  make

This creates a static library libmcpp.a. Depending on your platform, the library is created in the following directory:

• lib/i386-linux-gnu - Ubuntu 32-bit
• lib/x86_64-linux-gnu - Ubuntu 64-bit
• lib64 - Any Linux system with a /usr/lib64 directory
• lib - OS X, Windows with MinGW, and other platforms

Windows with Visual Studio

Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt, and type:

  nmake -f Makefile.mak

This creates two static libraries: mcpp.lib, built with /MD ("release") and mcppd.lib, built with /MDd ("debug").
