From forum: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19840-208-third-party-libraries-overhaul/page-2#entry436498 Right now all libraries are contained inside ThirdParty directory, all the final builds are inside artefacts subdirectory with strict structure. Every build is named according to options (like: compiler, bitness, static/dynamic, runtime, debug/release). The libraries are classified into three categories: 1) header-only --- no builds. 2) pure-C libs --- only release build is created. 3) C++ libs (pugixml) --- both release and debug builds are created. Every library has a single set of public headers (include) --- like before. I noticed that this rule is not universal, because some libraries put a config header into includes. In case of libjpeg, jconfig.h is different on Linux and Windows. Although both platforms build well by using Linux version :laugh: Probably some change will be needed in future. Right now all the libraries are managed by conan, except for minizip: TDM still has embedded code. I will extract it after branch merge. The converted libraries include ogg/vorbis, openal, curl, libjpeg, pugixml, tinyformat, doctest. All the libraries are also updated to more recent versions. The only problem which I faced is doctest crashing on startup. I had to define DOCTEST_THREAD_LOCAL to empty to remove the crash. If someone wants to investigate, comment out this define and run debugging 10 times in a row. Up to this moment, I did not remove old trash (mostly). I intend to do it after branch merge. Here is the list of stuff to be deleted: 1) include, lib, win32, win64, linux, macosx --- all the old places with 3rd party stuff 2) ExtLibs project --- it is not used any more. If we ever decide to switch to full dynamic, I suggest using every single lib as a separate DLL. 3) Move unused scons files and MSVC props into "old" or "unused" subdirectory. 4) Delete "memory log" configuration, and add "Release Incremental" if it would be helpful. |

Note that the bunch of changes were done in branch 3rdparty_4822. |

Merged branch to trunk in svn rev 8158. |

Extracted minizip in svn rev 8161. Only minizip_extra.{c|h} are now compiled as a part of TDM, which contain all the custom minizip functions. In fact, two features are currently present there: 1) Some sort of file handle cloning. 2) Fast seeking in uncompressed files. The downside of this extraction is we have to redefine all unzip's private data structures in minizip_extra.c. If minizip changes their them, we will have to adapt this extra code immediately. |
