MulleFoundationBase

🧱 MulleFoundationBase amalgamates Foundations projects

This is an almagamation of the MulleFoundation libraries that do not depend on platform specific code (below MulleObjCOSFoundation), See the constituting projects for documentation, bug reports, pull requests.

The advantages of MulleFoundationBase are:

• compiles faster than almost a dozen individual projects
• you only need to link against one library file
• #import statements of the individual libraries can remain unchanged or can be simplified to #import <MulleFoundationBase/MulleFoundationBase.h>

Constituents

Add another constituent to the amalgamation with:

mulle-sde dependency add --amalgamated \
                         --fetchoptions "clibmode=copy" \
                         --address src/MulleObjCWhateverFoundation \
                         clib:MulleFoundation/MulleObjCWhateverFoundation

Then edit MulleFoundationBase.h and add the envelope header to the others.
