There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.
The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.
Most of the old Makefile.am files are now Makemodule.am. This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases). The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a
The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.
While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
It never really helped sort out the path issues when using build
directories. It worked well enough for single directory projects, but
things got messy very quickly, especially when mixing ruamoko libs with
external progs. A better method based on dwarf is coming.
Changing str_free's return type highlighted that I'd missed an edit when
I did the big ruamoko build cleanup.
Also silence the sed/mv noise now that things are working nicely.
Despair has things locked down such that running qfcc during a build fails
due to lack of read access to /usr/local/lib. This is actually a good
thing as accidentally hitting old includes/libs (when a file gets deleted
in the tree) hides bugs. Thus, --no-default-paths to turn off default
search paths.
I'm not sure why this is happening now when it didn't in the old qfcc,
but this will take care of the warning for now until I can get around to
fixing it.
Scheme program errors without making Rua abort now, although there are a
few things that still need to actually report errors instead of failing
in weird ways.
- Boolean type (no support in lexer yet)
- Conditionals
- Defines (only work correctly at top level)
- More core builtins (apply, cons, car, cdr)
- Variable-argument functions
- Incremental garbage collection
- Garbage collection fixes
- Other misc bugs fixed
