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The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.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).
As well as $prefix/include, of course. This fixes the problem with
external ruamoko builds failing due to keys.h and qfcc's "lockdown" on
system headers.
This fixes the dependency issues between qwaq and ruamoko. qwaq is
actually older than ruamoko. That little language feature test has come
a long way.
However, I'm considering moving to non-recursive make, but...
This paves the way for clean initialization of the Vulkan renderer, and
very much cleans up the older renderer initialization code as gl and sw
are no longer intertwined.
This removes a lot of redundant code from qflight (though it does become
dependent of libQFgamecode *shrug*). The nice thing is qflight now uses the
exact same code to load entities as does the server.
It is suffering some bitrot and I don't feel like fixing it right now, but
it causes problems for people trying to build QF. This should be ok because
it's one of those "if uncertain, say no" things.
The ~ gets expanded to CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, $HOME, $USERPROFILE or just
".", whichever succeeds first. The usual location will be:
"C:\windows\profiles\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data".
"." is now the fallback for *nix systems too.
It turns out the apiprefix define is quite new (I didn't realize it at the
time) and I'd rather get FTBFS reports based on configure catching the
error than gcc catching it.
It seems -ffast-math is not necessarily faster, and the errors it causes
may not be worth the gains, but I'm not sure I want to nuke it completely,
so instead disabling the worst offender of it
(-fno-unsafe-math-optimizations) seems to be the best option. qfbsp now
produces identical text output between optimized and unoptimized builds,
and may be slightly faster than before the change (1.9s for start.map vs
2.0s)
qfcc now does local common subexpression elimination. It seems to work, but
is optional (default off): use -O to enable. Also, uninitialized variable
detection is finally back :)
The progs engine now has very basic valgrind-like functionality for
checking pointer accesses. Enable with pr_boundscheck 2
Unfortunately, just because the header is there doesn't mean anything will
actually work :(. Also, the check is based on the host vendor/os for now.
Yes, it's rather lame but it will do for now.
With this, QF will build on an almost fresh ps3toolchain install. Only two
"fixes" are needed:
o In $PS3DEV/ppu/powerpc64-ps3-elf: ln -s ../include sys-include
o libsamplerate cross-built and installed.
