[08:33:38] <Dominus> why is building Exult with mingw so slooooooow :)
[08:38:14] <Dominus> But seriously, Marzo, do you have any idea how to handle my cross compiling woes? it all boils down to two issues now:
[08:40:00] <Dominus> 1. in makefile.common that it executes "expack$(EXEEXT)" - for cross compile I would need to execute expack, and at best have a EXPACK variable that can point to the path of expack (as I've added elsewhere for cross compile via ./configure)
[08:40:47] <Dominus> 2. in makefile.mingw a way to set a different windres and dllwrap
[08:41:32] <Dominus> maybe adding a $(TARGET) in front would work already.
[08:42:12] <Marzo> Building with mingw is slow because of 2 things: 1. you probably are not passing -j<N> for more jobs; and 2. process creation in Windows is very slow
[08:42:35] <Marzo> You should see how slow ./configure is on Windows compared to Linux/OSX
[08:43:03] <Dominus> I'm setting TARGET in the cross-make.sh https://pastebin.com/4KiU5rcH and the binary names are i686-w64-mingw32-dllwrap i686-w64-mingw32-windres
[08:43:07] <Marzo> And the reason why I wantd to setup AppVeyor for this is it does a native Windows build
[08:43:14] <Marzo> So no need for cross-compilation
[08:43:42] <Dominus> yeah, I did pass on -j but still... phew :)
[08:44:53] <Dominus> but I am surprised that eventually it did create the exult.exe :)
[08:45:08] <Dominus> now I need to test whether it actually works
[08:45:12] <Marzo> In fact, sometimes builds even fail in mingw because quickly creating and destroying a lot of processes (i.e., running lots of programs; this is dirt cheap in Linux) is expensive enough in Windows that it causes a process creation to fail
[08:46:52] <Dominus> and it fails to run on a real Windows :(
[08:53:54] <azeem> are there plans to switch to a different build system? Guess not, cause it's a lot of work. If not, I can open a branch and start working on making the autotools build system "make dist" compliant in case I find time
[08:54:08] <azeem> or is this something that's not really needed/wanted?
[08:54:41] --> BrainChild has joined #exult
[08:59:16] <Dominus> I definitely would not like to switch build systems :) but make dist would be nice to have
[09:00:53] <azeem> ok
[09:01:55] <azeem> switching to cmake would have the advantage that you'd only one build system for Linux/MacOS/Windows, but I think it'd be too much work with unclear risks
[09:03:02] <Dominus> yes, that's my takeaway, too
