Title: Utilities
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | ## h2pas | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | is a small command-line utility that can be used to translate C header files to pascal units. The Free Pascal team uses it to make import units for important C libraries such as GTK or MySQL. | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | ## fpcmake | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | is a tool that allows you to make complex makefiles to compile programs and units with FPC. The Free Pascal team uses it to create all it's makefiles. ( See [[Fpcmake]] ) | |
| 8 | + | ||
| 9 | + | ## fpmake | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | is a tool that replaces the combination of fpcmake and (GNU) make in the build process. This tool is replacing fpcmake+make in FPC 2.7.x (See [[FPMake]]) | |
| 12 | + | ||
| 13 | + | ## ppdep | |
| 14 | + | ||
| 15 | + | is a small utility that scans a program or unit and creates a depend file that can be used for inclusion by make. It understands conditional symbols and interdependency of units. | |
| 16 | + | ||
| 17 | + | ## delp | |
| 18 | + | ||
| 19 | + | is a small utility that scans a directory for files left over by the Free Pascal compiler, and deletes them. | |
| 20 | + | ||
| 21 | + | ## ppudump | |
| 22 | + | ||
| 23 | + | dumps the contents of a unit in human-readable format. It understands older versions of units and gracefully handles unknown (future) versions. | |
| 24 | + | ||
| 25 | + | ## ppufiles | |
| 26 | + | ||
| 27 | + | lists the object files that you need to link in when using a unit file. It lists all libraries and units that are needed. | |
| 28 | + | ||
| 29 | + | ## ppumove | |
| 30 | + | ||
| 31 | + | combines several units into one; as such it can be used to create static and dynamic libraries. | |
| 32 | + | ||
| 33 | + | ## ptop | |
| 34 | + | ||
| 35 | + | is a configurable source formatter. It pretty-prints your pascal code, much like indent does for C code. See [[PTop]] | |
| 36 | + | ||
| 37 | + | ## rstconv | |
| 38 | + | ||
| 39 | + | is a small utility that converts `.rsj` files (files that contain [[Using resourcestrings|resource strings]], as created by the compiler) to some other format. | |
| 40 | + | ||
| 41 | + | ## tply | |
| 42 | + | ||
| 43 | + | [[Plex and Pyacc|TP Lex and Yacc]], written by Albert Graef. It can be used to create pascal units from a Lex vocabulary and Yacc grammar. | |
| 44 | + | ||
| 45 | + | ## pas2jni | |
| 46 | + | ||
| 47 | + | The [[pas2jni]] utility generates a JNI (Java Native Interface) bridge for a Pascal code. Then the Pascal code (including classes and other advanced features) can be easily used in Java programs. | |
