General Format for creating a library

[microchip22]

What is the general format for creating a new library? Does it follow the same general format as setting up a new project or module? Is there a sample library to follow as a guide?

Perhaps this can help:http://www.rosseeld.be/DRO/PIC/Make_Process.pdf see section 15.

Hi,

You can also see the Creating New Library topic in the compiler.

I am using MicroBasic PRO for PIC. The information so far has helped a lot, but I am still having trouble. It is taking several hours for anything to show up in the library manager. I still do not have the help files showing up correctly. I still need help with the “add files” file locations in the PackageManager 3.0 program.

Have you used the 'Refresh' option in Library Manager?

I still do not have the help files showing up correctly.

The IDE allows only to open a directory with user help file(s) - do you have problems with that?

What exactly is the problem?

The PachageManager created the following three directories:

C:\mikroBasic PRO for PIC\Packages\New_Library\examples

C:\mikroBasic PRO for PIC\Packages\New_Library\help --> contains New_libary.chm

C:\mikroBasic PRO for PIC\Packages\New_Library\Uses --> contains New_library.mbas file

I have tried the ‘Refresh’ and ‘Rebuild Libraries’ options to get the Help file to show up. The help file, New_library.chm , is in the ‘C:\mikroBasic PRO for PIC\Packages\New_Library\help’ directory, but does not show up after clicking HELP. The MikroE help files shows up.

If I use windows explorer to open the following directory:
C:\mikroBasic PRO for PIC\Packages\New_Library\help
Then click on the ‘New_library.chm’ file. It opens ok.

As I've written, the only thing IDE does with user help file is to open a directory to it (in Explorer window) when one double-clicks on the library item in Library Manager. Nothing more . Your help file will not be listed in Help, nor opened automatically like the compiler's help.
