Hi all After my disastrous foray into using autobuild with the 3p-* libs on Sunday and Monday, I have spent the last few days since Tuesday trying to build and package them using a command prompt and not the cygwin shell.
Here are my observations General Some configurations (fmod, llqtwebkit) require curl (not standard in cygwin) to download files. Wouldn't it be better to use the same mechanism as the "installables" entries in autobuild.xml does? Autobuild does not appear to have a 'clean' command. Does this mean that cleaning is not necessary in order to rebuild? Packaging It would be useful to have the option of writing an *.md5sum file instead of copy/pasting the md5 manually. Building autobuild_tool_source_environment.py creates functions for building on windows. However these function rely on devenv which is not available on VC Express 2010 (and previous versions as far a I know). I modified the file to use msbuild.exe, which I believe is now the standard method for VCE and VS, at least this is what we have been using for autobuilding the viewer. These modifications will require changes to the build-cmd.sh files that use these functions. Specifically, the use of "<configuration>|<platform>" is invalid for msbuild options and need to be separated into individual options. I've noted below where such changes were needed. The modifications are mostly strait forward. I've not done more than was needed for a quick fix, if the general idea is acceptable it would probably be good to further abstract parts of this configuring. i.e. the platform and toolset parameters should be configurable from the autobuild.xml in order to be compatible with any changes that will be needed in the future. This will also allow OS devs to be able to use platforms/architectures/toolsets that they want/have available without having to modify autobuild. I cloned all of the 3p-* repositories I could find on bitbucket. If I missed any let me know. Below is my quick notes on getting them to build and package.
