| The OPT keyword |
#-------------------------------------------------------------------#
OPT may be followed by:
MODULE - Declare source as module.
EXPORT - Export everything from module, except PRIVATE stuff.
NOWARN - Disable the output of all warnings.
OSVERSION - ECX 1.6.0+
Explicitly define the minimum os version we require.
ECX will warn if we make use of a module with a version
number higher than the version we have requested with
OPT OSVERSION, but only if the module in question contains
code. Startup will fail as usual if started on a version
of the os < OSVERSION.
If OSVERION is not defined, ECX will automatically set it
to the highest OSVERSION of any module used, _that contains
code_, otherwise leave it to zero. ECX shows the osversion
in the normal shell output, if it is > 0. Note that the
startup may require a higher osversion than the one you
have defined..
-- Input / output / paths --
DIR - Add another directory to the list of directories to search
for modules in. Directory will be placed at top of list.
Multiple directories may be specified, the right-most will
get searched first. ex: OPT DIR = 'ecymodules: bla:urgh/'.
EXENAME - Tell ECX to name resulting executable/library differently.
Filename only, does not alter directory.
Example: OPT EXENAME = 'myfantasticexe'
MODNAME - Tell ECX to name resulting module differently.
Filename only, does not alter directory.
'.m' will get appended to name.
Example: OPT MODNAME = 'myfantasticmod'
-- Compatibility --
ASM - Does nothing. For compatibility.
LARGE - For compatibility. does nothing.
FPEXP - For compatibility with CreativE.
Turns on OPT ROUNDNEAR.
-- Optimisation --
REG - Does the same as NUMREGALLOC/N command line option. ex: "REG=5".
FREG - Like REG, but for DOUBLE vars.
-- Preprocessing --
PREPROCESS - Enable preprocessing of source.
-- Targets --
POWERPC - *DEPRECATED,OBSOLETE* Does the same as MORPHOS.
AMIGAOS - Compile code for AmigaOS.
AMIGAOS4 - Compile code for AmigaOS4.
MORPHOS - Compile code for MorphOS.
NATURALALIGN - Forces natural alignment of OBJECT members, that is
LONG at 4-byte boundaries, DOUBLE at 8-byte boundaries, etc.
ROUNDNEAR - Make integer to float conversion round to nearest
instead of the default towards zero.
-- Startupcode --
STACK - Manually set the stacksize that startupcode will allocate.
ex : OPT STACK=50000
MINSTARTUP - A very minimal startup code will be used.
No libraries are opened (except execbase).
No stdin, stdout or wbmessage.
Built-in memory functions, exceptions, globals,
inline lists, will work.
Avoid using mixed code (ppc+68k).
(Similar to CreativE's OPT NOSTARTUP.
Sorry for name confusion.
NOSTARTUP works different with ECX, see below).
NOSTARTUP - No startupcode will be used.
Execution will start at the first piece of code in the main
source (through a jump though). Nothing is initialised at
this point. Immediate lists will not work, neither will any
global variables or exceptions.
-- Other --
NODEFMODS - Disable loading of the default modules:
exec.m,dos.m,intuition.m,graphics.m
