The easiest way to build this is to check out the dhewm3-libs project
(https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3-libs/) to provide the dependencies
(SDL2, OpenAL, cURL) and set YQUAKE2LIBS accordingly, by passing
-DYQUAKE2LIBS=c:/path/to/dhewm3-libs/i686-w64-mingw32 to cmake.
I wouldn't really recommend building with MSVC - I just somehow made it
work and ignored all the warnings and I have no idea how portable the
resulting binaries are etc. For binaries you actually want to use, please
continue using MinGW-w64. Especially my workaround for VLAs (C99 variable
length arrays) is kinda fishy, particularly if those arrays are allocated
in a loop (that's inly done in ref_gl1.dll's code).
The only reason I did this is that I had to debug on Windows and, at least
for my specific bug, gdb didn't really work with binaries produced by
MingGW-w64 and MSVC's debugger works well with binaries produced by MSVC.
Currently requires VS 2019 16.8 or newer with C11 (/std:c11) because I
couldn't get YQ2_ALIGNAS_TYPE() to work with MSVC without _Alignas().
If we can get this to work, VS2015 or newer might suffice (but not older
versions, because their so called C standardlib didn't provide exotic
functions like snprintf()).
# Conflicts:
# CMakeLists.txt
I added the CMakeLists.txt 6 or 7 years ago so I could load the code
into Jetbrains Clion. I have moved to another editor years ago and the
cmake stuff is effectively unmaintained since then. We kept it around
in case that we'll do a MSVC port, but that's unlikely at this point.
Since bugreport and problems with the CMakeLists.txt keep coming up,
finally retire them. They can be resurrected from the git history if
we'll ever need them again.
Part of #725.
This is an enhancement to the previous `yield` work:
* Don't enforce `-march=armv8-a` for aarch64 builds, because it is the
initial ARMv8 revision and compilers will either use that or something
newer.
* Refine preprocessor guards around `asm("yield");` so the code isn't
compiled in if unsupported by the current `-march='.
Submitted by @smcv in #535.
* Pass the same compiler flags like make.
* Update FindSDL2.
* Remove unneeded FindOggVorbis.
There still some options missing, like the RPATHes or he ability to
define the system wide installation directory.
I've chosen the minimal invasive way for this:
* Import miniz and remove -lz linker flags.
* Create a short header minizconf.h roviding everything we need
originally defined by zconf.h and not provided by miniz.
* Replace zlib.h with miniz.h and minizconf.h.
The input system backend was once used in the client and the renderers,
but for some years now it has been an integral part of the client only.
Move it there.
