- INTRODUCTION
-
- auto.lib/libauto.a is a link library for vbcc which contains functions
- to automagically open/close standard Amiga shared libraries.
-
-
- LEGAL
-
- genauto is (c) by Frank Wille.
- auto.lib is public domain.
-
-
- USAGE
-
- To link with auto.lib (or the small data version autos.lib) specify
- the -lauto or -lautos option to vc. You have to use vlink 0.6c or
- later.
-
- When you are calling a standard Amiga library function and do not
- have defined the corresponding library base then the library base
- as well as code to open/close it will be taken from auto.lib.
-
- By default, auto.lib will try to open any library version. If you
- need at least a certain version you can define and set a variable
- _<library-base>Ver with external linkage, e.g. (on file-scope):
-
- int _IntuitionBaseVer = 39;
-
- Note that your program will abort before reaching main() if one
- of the libraries cannot be opened. Also note that the dos.library
- will be openened by the standard startup code, not by auto.lib.
- This means you have to open dos.library yourself, when linking
- with minstart.o.
-
- If you want third party libraries opened by auto.lib, add their
- FD-files to Make_autolib.script and rebuild the library.
