If $ROOT_DIR is a linked working tree from git-worktree(1), then
$ROOT_DIR/.git is a regular file instead of a directory. Allow this
when deciding whether to use git to detect OpenTTD's version.
Drop checks for svn and hg in config.lib, because findversion.sh
hasn't used svn nor hg since 192770e6da.
Building with FreeType is still possible and will take precedence over the GDI renderer, but
the project files don't include FreeType anymore by default. Combining GDI rendering with ICU
text layout is untested.
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 was no active development on DOS. Although it
turned out to still work, the FPS was very bad. There is little
interest in the current community to look into this.
Further more, we like to switch to c++11 functions for threads,
which are not implemented by DJGPP, the only current compiler
for DOS.
Additionally, DOS is the only platform which does not support
networking. It is the reason we have tons of #ifdefs to support
disabling networking.
By removing DOS support, we can both use c++11 functions for threads,
and remove all the code related to disabling network. Sadly, this
means we have to see DOS go.
Of course, if you feel up for the task, simply revert this commit,
and implement stub c++11 functions for threads and stub functions
for networking. We are more than happy to accept such Pull Request.
By naming it in a different way, things get a bit confusing.
Especially if we are switching to CMake, which autodetects these
things, we need to use the name the authors of ICU gave it; not
our interpertation of that name.

It is the only library we use that calls itself with 'lib' in the
name. This might be confusing, but with the arrival of cmake a lot
of these things are automated. And detection will find 'liblzma',
not 'lzma', like with 'lzo', 'zlib', ..
libtimidity was introduced with the support for PSP. PSP has been
dropped almost a year ago, but this music driver was not. This
corrects that oversight.
timidity (via extmidi) still works fine. This purely removes the
libtimidity support, which was only really available for PSP.
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 :(
