3 Using the MLWorks Libraries

3.4 Using the libraries in your applications

You can load the object file versions of the libraries into the MLWorks environment using the listener or compilation manager File > Load Objects item. See Section 2.3 on page 30. The Shell.{Build,File}.loadObject functions can also be used. And if you started MLWorks with mlworks-basis, the Basis library is already loaded.

You can refer to the libraries in your application source files using a require declaration. See Section 2.2 on page 29. It is best to begin require declarations for library units with the root symbol ($).

The source path mechanism controls where to search for library units, and the default installation sets an appropriate initial source path.
