We now use threads and other pthread API a lot, and not always we use it
from threads created with pthread_create() (or the main thread). As I
understand, with static linking we would have to use
pthread_win32_thread_attach/detach_np() every time we enter or leave a
foreign thread. We don't do this, and it's not feasible either, so it's
just broken.
This still should work with dynamic pthreads-win32. The MinGW pthread
implementation should be unaffected from all of this.
We need to manually define the flag since we are using a separate identifier
for each of the Lua checks. This was done before 9b45b48 by the composed check
with a define_key (see waftools/checks/generic.py).
The pkg-config check was the only one to not redefine a define key because Waf
already does that automatically when we call the generated function with the
same identifier as the generator function. Now if they are called with two
different arguments we will get two different definitions.
Fixes#1218
No development activity (or even any sign of life) for almost a year.
A replacement based on youtube-dl will probably be provided before the
next mpv release. Ask on the IRC channel if you want to test.
Simplify the Lua check too: libquvi linking against a different Lua
version than mpv was a frequent issue, but with libquvi gone, no
direct dependency uses Lua, and such a clash is rather unlikely.
This wraps waf's find_program in our own check boilerplate code so that it
can be used in the declarative dependencies section of the wscript.
Can be used like this:
}, {
'name': 'sed',
'desc': 'sed program',
'func': check_program('sed', 'SED'),
}, {
First argument is the program name, and the second is the waf variable name
where the program path will be stored. In this example we will be able to
refer to sed with ${{SED}} when creating waf Tasks in wscript_build.
/cc @giselher: I think you need this for wayland-scanner.
Our code currently tries to link -lpthread and adds stuff like -D_REENTRANT
based on the target platform.
GCC actually supports to just pass a -pthread compiler and linker flag that
will automatically enable threading and define the correct symbols for the
platform, so let's try to just use that as our first choice.
clang also supports -pthread but it must be used only as a compiler flag,
so we also take care of that scenario with this commit.
If sys/soundcard.h is actually linux/soundcard.h then it supports only OSSv3
API. This may happen when OSSLIBDIR == /usr while forgetting to replace
sys/soundcard.h from glibc.
However, after fa620ff waf prefers native implementation which is inferior
on Linux. To fix try making waf prefer oss-audio-4front. It's quite unusual
to have 4Front OSS installed where native implementation is superior, anyway.

Make the false positives path also undef the 4Front define.

Fixes#396
This prevents waf from running test programs after compilation. A better
approach would be to only remove this option if the check actually errors,
but we are using this only for Lua anyway.
The OSS checks were a big mess and quite buggy. This reimplementes them using
a declarative approach and clearly distinguishing between the various OSS
implementations. The code should now almost be auto-documenting.
We currently support the following implementations of OSS:
* platform-specific (with `sys/soundcard.h`)
* SunAudio (default on NetBSD and useable on OpenBSD even if we have sndio
support there).
* 4Front (default on FreeBSD)
Since now each OSS check also checks for the appropriate soundcard header,
remove the old soundcard check.
Many thanks to @bugmen0t for in depth info about all the BSDs.
Check #380 and #359 for more info on this commit.
Original commit was implemented differently by @bugmen0t. The problem here was
that the waf API was called directly, instead of using our own check_cc (which
defaults, among other things, to non mandatory checks).
- without Utils.* always returns empty string
- subprocess doesn't need extra quoting for sh -c
- "source" is a bash'ism, not in POSIX sh
- most shell commands embed newline at the end
waf apparently only appends a pkgconfig flag if it doesn't already exist in
the lib storage. Since our configure often checks for multiple libraries in
one call we want to keep the flags as is. This is especially important to
always keep stuff like -lm in the right place.
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.
