- A proper ./configure, so everything needs to be configured only once, not for every make.
- Usage of makedepend when available. This greatly reduces the time needed for generating the dependencies.
- A generator for all project files. There is a single file with sources, which is used to generate Makefiles and the project files for MSVC.
- Proper support for OSX universal binaries.
- Object files for non-MSVC compiles are also placed in separate directories, making is faster to switch between debug and release compiles and it does not touch the directory with the source files.
- Functionality to make a bundle of all needed files for for example a nightly or distribution of a binary with all needed GRFs and language files.
Note: as this merge moves almost all files, it is recommended to make a backup of your working copy before updating your working copy.
up the same way as CC_HOST / CXX_HOST, and add or fix their options within the configure script. In the
Makefile, instead of overriding CC / CXX with the target compilers if they are set, set the target compilers
with the default compilers if none are set (bit of a mouthful), and use the target compilers explicitly.
Makefile.config, inserting data directly into it. This is needed for the
CompileFarm (nightly) and most likely it will help out many people who want
to cross-compile. I might have missed several options out of the
Makefile.config, but those are the needed ones for the CompileFarm.
