Managing your user list
If you are working in a team then you will obviously need more than one Marmalade
license, but you also need to manage who has access to those licenses. Clicking on
the Users option in the My Account menu or clicking on the Manage Users button
on the overview page allows you to do this.
This page shows a list of all the users assigned to your account, and also has an
Invite Users section that allows you to add new users to your account. Enter their
e-mail addresses in the boxes provided, and click the Send invite button to send
them a mail telling them how to activate their own Marmalade account.
Creating a Marmalade project
With Marmalade installed, we can now get down to doing some coding, and what
better place to start than with the classic example of a "Hello World" program.
Creating the "Hello World" project
To begin a new project, we must first create an MKB file, which is Marmalade's
own project file format. We use MKB files to specify all the source files, libraries,
and build options needed to build our project.
The MKB file is actually used to generate a Visual C++ project file, but whenever we
want to add or remove a source file to our project, we must do so by editing the MKB
file and regenerating the Visual C++ project file from it using Marmalade's make file
builder script, which we'll be looking at in just a moment.
In addition to source files, the MKB file also allows you to list all the other
datafiles and resource files that your application will need in order to run, as
this information will be needed when it comes to deploying your application on
different mobile platforms.
Marmalade does come with a small tool called the LaunchPad, which can be used to
create a new project, but in the interest of learning how a Marmalade project is put
together, we will go about creating everything from scratch instead.
