This switch has been a pain for years. Often disabling broke
compilation, as no developer compiles OpenTTD without, neither do
any of our official binaries.
Additionaly, it has grown so hugely in our codebase, that it
clearly shows that the current solution was a poor one. 350+
instances of "#ifdef ENABLE_NETWORK" were in the code, of which
only ~30 in the networking code itself. The rest were all around
the code to do the right thing, from GUI to NewGRF.
A more proper solution would be to stub all the functions, and
make sure the rest of the code can simply assume network is
available. This was also partially done, and most variables were
correct if networking was disabled. Despite that, often the #ifdefs
were still used.
With the recent removal of DOS, there is also no platform anymore
which we support where networking isn't working out-of-the-box.
All in all, it is time to remove the ENABLE_NETWORK switch. No
replacement is planned, but if you feel we really need this option,
we welcome any Pull Request which implements this in a way that
doesn't crawl through the code like this diff shows we used to.
In 10 years there is no commit to change how BeOS works, and we
have no active maintainer for it. It is unlikely it works in its
current state (but not impossible).
With the arrival of SDL2 (and removal of SDL), BeOS is no longer
support. SDL2 suggests to use Haiku instead of BeOS.
In 10 years there is no commit to change how MorphOS works, and we
have no active maintainer for it. It is unlikely it works in its
current state (but not impossible).
With the arrival of SDL2 (and removal of SDL), MorphOS is no longer
support. There is an SDL2 port for MorphOS, but it is not maintained
by upstream SDL2, and nobody can currently test it out.
If anyone wants to re-add MorphOS, please do (revert this patch,
fix the problems, and create a Pull Request). If you need any help
doing so, let us know! It is not that we don't like MorphOS, it is
that we don't have anyone fixing the problems :(
- 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.
