ot4xb-tool

Command ot4xb-tool is the single binary of the ot4xb tool set; each tool is a subcommand backed by a package under modules/.

Package artefacts is the packager of ot4xb-tool: it materialises the "artefacts" entries of a .ot4xb-tool build step — today the "zip" type — and provides the Windows-style file matching the other steps share.

Package cbk2obj compiles an Xbase++ callback script (.cbk, the input of the legacy xppcbk "Callback Compiler for Xbase++") straight into a linkable x86-32 COFF object (.obj), optionally emitting the equivalent FASM source (.asm) as well.

Package def2lib20 builds x86 COFF import libraries (.lib) from module definition files (.def) in the classic "long" format: every imported function is a real COFF object member, exactly like the libraries written by Microsoft LINK 2.x–5.x (and by VC6 with /LINK50COMPAT) — the only format the Alaska Xbase++ linker (ALINK) understands.

macros.go expands the {$<...>$} macros of a version script body.

expand.go resolves the <name> macros of the tool file values — folders, vars and the <v.*> version components — and normalises paths the agreed way: work with "/", collapse doubled separators at macro junctions, hand "\" to the disk.

Package xbmac2h generates, from a .xbmac registration list, the four files the legacy xbmac2h tool wrote next to the list.
