Build tools cleanup
« on: 28 December 2012, 14:59:48 »
I'd like your opinion on the following changes for the purpose of cleaning up the build tools and making their use more intuitive / guessable:
  • Move / rename / edit paths in script as needed /build-mg-win32.sh to /mk/windoze/build-mg-mingw.sh
  • Move / rename / edit paths in script as needed /build-mg.bat to /mk/windoze/build-mg-mingw.bat
  • Move / rename / edit paths in script as needed /mk/windoze/build-mg-2010.bat to /mk/windoze/build-mg-vc2010.bat
  • Move / rename / edit paths in script as needed /mk/windoze/build-mg.bat to /mk/windoze/build-mg-vc2008.bat, alternatively delete this now unsupported script
  • Move / rename / edit paths in script as needed /mk/windoze/CopyWindowsRuntimeDlls_2010.bat to /mk/windoze/deploy-mg-vc2010.bat
  • Move / rename / edit paths in script as needed /mk/windoze/CopyWindowsRuntimeDlls.bat to /mk/windoze/deploy-mg-vc2008.bat, alternatively delete this now unsupported script
External references to these scripts, including those in other scripts and in the documentation, would need to be updated.

My goals here are both getting more intuitive script names and locations, as well as to move all scripts to the build directory which they build for, i.e. all scripts which crete/handle Linux builds would go into mk/linux/, all scripts which create/handle Windows builds (be it on POSIX or Windows platforms) would go to mk/windoze/.

If this seems too much, a limited subset of these changes / improvements would be to:
  • rename /build-mg-win32.bat to /build-mg-mingw.bat
  • rename /mk/windoze/build-mg.bat to /mk/windoze/build-mg-vc2008.bat, alternatively delete this now unsupported script
  • rename /mk/windoze/CopyWindowsRuntimeDlls.bat to /mk/windoze/deploy-mg-vc2008.bat, alternatively delete this now unsupported script
What do you think?

If you're going to be moving folders and such around, can you change "windoze" to "windows" please? I get it, you hate windows, but there's a lot of people that use it and you just sound childish with that age old insult.

But Fusz. That's more of a failure of execution than intent. They meant to denigrate it, but they accidentally made it a cool name instead.
