Intoduction

This package MFMlib is a complete C++ library to decode or encode MFM frame.

It generates a libMFM.a which can be linked to your own code.

A usefull executable "MFMtest.exe" can tests you MFM run files or generate MFM frames in a file with random data.

Build and Installation (options are in brackets)

cd build ( if build isn't created , make it! (in this case, beside source directory))

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../ ../sources/ [-DDEBUG=YES] [-DNO_MFMNXML=YES] [-DMYTINYXMLDIR=/the/directory/where/libtinyxml.so/is/]

make

make install-DDEBUG=YES

Build Options :

add "-DDEBUG=YES" to activate debug compilation mode
If tinyxml library is not installed or not necessary MFM can be compiled without tinyxml add option "-DNO_MFMNXML=YES"
to add your own tynixml library download tynixml from http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml/. In tinyxml directory, edit Makefile and for adding -fPIC option change lines

Rules for compiling source files to object files :

%.o : %.cpp
    ${CXX}  -c ${CXXFLAGS} ${INCS} $< -o $@
 
   %.o : %.c
    ${CC}  -c ${CFLAGS} ${INCS} $< -o $@

    ${CC} -shared -fPIC ${CFLAGS} ${INCS} tinyxml.o tinyxmlparser.o tinyxmlerror.o tinystr.o -o libtinyxml.so

compile with a "make lib" tynixml
to produce tynixml.so

The new cmake command become cmake -DMYTINYXMLDIR=/the/directory/where/libtinyxml.so/is/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../ ../sources/

Usage and Documentation

In a tuto directory, you have a example of MFMlib usage for you own C++ code
