DESCRIPTION
MCC-Install is an installer script for MUI Custom Classes that is
highly modular to be re-usable for other installer scripts.
MCC-Install features:
- Follows the V43 Installer Style Guide
- Correctly supports the different user levels
- Install new/update mode
- Uninstallation
- Supports Installers prior to V43
- Highly automated
- Very flexible
- Very intelligent (for an installer-script ;-)
- It uses WrapGuide (if present) for the AmigaGuide documentation
if running under a pre V39 system.
- Autodetects the CPU/FPU
- Autodetects the OS version
- Autodetects the MUI version
- Autodetects existing files within the distribution archive
- Installs the optimal 68010-68060 binary if available
- Supports the following document formats:
ASCII, AmigaGuide, HTML
- It supports the following languages:
English, German, French, Danish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Polish,
Finnish, Greek, Czech, Russian
- Supports source code installation for the following programming
languages:
C, Assembler, Amiga-E, Modula II, Oberon, ARexx, Cluster,
Blitz Basic 2
- It can be re-used by (hopefully) all other MUI custom classes since
the authors of custom classes need to change only a few things:
* The #copyright variable
* The #min_os_version and #min_os_revision variables
* The #min_mui_version and #min_mui_revision variables
* The #language_mcc and #language_mcp variables
* The P_CustomExists, P_CustomInstall and P_CustomUninstall
procedures
* The 'APPNAME' tooltype within the MCC-Install icon
