Hi all,
I'm one of the developer of Hedgewars, an open source video game written
in c++ and Pascal, using CMake as build system. Please see the full site
at http://www.hedgewars.org/
Right now our pascal integration is a little hack-y,
http://code.google.com/p/hedgewars/source/browse/hedgewars/CMakeLists.txt as
we just add many 'custom_command' and 'custom_target' all around the
place. This has caused issues on many many platforms, especially at the
linking stage.
I was wondering whether it would it be possible to have the Pascal
language as one "officially" supported languages, so that it'd be
possible to write add_sources() on the .pas files and live happily ever
after.
If so, I think we could make this work thanks to the Google Summer of
Code! This program (*if* they announce it) basically introduces students
to the world of FOSS development by having them work on a project for an
open source organization during the summer.
I don't know if CMake wants to participate this year, but in case not,
if there is one developer willing to act as mentor for a student,
Hedgewars (*if* selected) would happily allocate one of its students to
work on this task and act as a "umbrella" for this single project
targeting CMake sources. Of course the student would still have to write
a sensible project proposal for being accepted.
What do you think of this idea?
Cheers,
Vittorio (koda on #hedgewars)
Sounds cool to me. What is the state of pascal compilers these days?
Are they cross platform? Do they work in the traditional c model of
.pas -> .o? Is it more complicated?
