Appendix A - Working With the MacApp Build System

Programming Considerations

The source code for the MABuild tool is supplied with MacApp in the {MATools} folder, along with a makefile for building the tool. If your application requires build features that MABuild doesn't handle in its present configuration, you can modify the build tool itself.

The TMABuildTool class is defined in the file MABuildTool.cp, which can be found in the {MATools} folder. The TMABuildTool class is a descendant of the MacApp class TCPlusTool and provides a good example of how to use MacApp to build an MPW tool.
