# MSXBUILD
Utils to use openMSX in build pipelines.
You can use these scripts as-is. But as always, feel free to extend it
for your specific needs or contribute a fix or feature.
## OpenMSX missing automation documentation
* Don't use DirAsDisk, it is slow
* Wrap all TCL commands in catch+stderr+exit1
* Use TCL script for auto HD import/export
* Use stdio mode for headless and/or fast boot
* Disable throttling for automation steps
* Use fail_after TCL script to run openMSX safely
* Control openMSX from inside with TCL+command
* Enable SDL just before command is addictive fast
* TODO: Use TCL for BASIC/ASM/C lcov (Cobertura) code coverage
The files in this repro try to handle these steps for you.
## Features
* SDCC msx build steps.
* Allows headless openMSX buildpipe.
* openMSX safe exit failure guards.
* Automatic disk image import + export per build step.
* Downloads and caches resources from msxhub.com
## Dependencies
* make
* openmsx
* sdcc
* hex2bin-2.5 (see [https://hex2bin.sourceforge.net/](https://hex2bin.sourceforge.net/))
* wget
* unix2dos
For debian use;
apt-get install make openmsx wget dos2unix sdcc
## Usage
Include the `lib/make/msxbuild.mk` file from your Makefile.
And override the required paths;
* PATH_SDCC ?= /usr/bin
* PATH_HEX2BIN ?= /usr/bin
* PATH_UNIX2DOS ?= /usr/bin
* PATH_OPENMSX ?= /opt/openMSX/bin/
* PATH_MSXBUILD ?= /opt/msxbuild
Then build result based compile rules see an example in; `test/ahello/0module.mk`
## Functions
Current set is WIP.
