Until now, it only used the hash from the previous configure run,
instead of trying to get the latest hash. The "old" build system did
this correctly - we just have to use the existing logic in version.sh.
Since waf supports separate build dirs, extend version.sh with an
argument for setting the path of version.h.
Starting to get tired of seeing the full config.h in verbose output
every time. Make it slightly more elegant by outputting the list of
satisfied dependencies instead.
We certainly don't use the mplayer configuration dir. The name didn't
matter, but now that it's in user-visible output (as part of config.h
being dumped in verbose mode), it's a bit too strange.
It was requested that mpv should print what features etc. have been
enabled at compile time. It can print the configure command line, but it
obviously doesn't include autodetected features.
I tried to think of a nicer way than dumping the config.h as text, but
this was still the simplest way.
Some mpv builds identify with e.g. "mpv b'0.3.3' ". The version looks
like str() was called on a Python byte string. I couldn't reproduce it
on my machine (I tried with both Python 2 and 3), so I'm not exactly
sure what's going on here, but I'm hoping this commit does fix it.
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).
You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).
For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.
