mprep

mprep options template.tm
preprocesses the MathLink template file template.tm, generating a C file called filename that contains all the necessary MathLink code to call C functions from Mathematica.
  • mprep processes .tm template files that describe interfaces between Mathematica functions and C functions. These interfaces allow Mathematica to call the C functions from within the Mathematica runtime.
  • mprep generates the necessary set of C MathLink API function calls to communicate with the Mathematica kernel automatically. Users can take the C code generated by mprep, compile it and link it with the rest of their C program. The resulting program is suitable for use with Install.
  • mprep supports the following command-line arguments:
-prototypesenable use of ANSI C function prototypes (default)
-noprototypesdisable use of ANSI C function prototypes for compilers that do not support ANSI C prototypes
-linesenable recording of source line and source file location in output C file
-nolinesdisable recording of source line and source file location in output C file
-h filenameuse the contents of filename as custom header code in the output C file rather than the default header code produced by mprep (use with care)
-t filenameuse the contents of filename as custom trailer code in the output C file rather than the default trailer code produced by mprep (use with care)
-o filenamewrite output to the file named filename
-cforce mprep to output C code compatible with the Carbon library on Mac OS X (Mac only)
-dforce mprep to output C code compatible with the BSD layer on Mac OS X (Mac only)
-j filenameread a list of filenames from filename and process each file in batch mode
  • With -lines, entries from the template files will be preceded by # line line-number "sourcefile".
