<&McMartin>
GNU Make, you have failed me for the last time
03:05
<@Tamber>
Oh, don't be so hasty. I'm sure it'll fail plenty more times!
03:22
<&McMartin>
I'm trying to write The Final Patterns so I never have to dick with this again in C++/C projects.
03:36
<&McMartin>
http://pastebin.starforge.co.uk/568 This seems to do what I want.
03:37
<&McMartin>
Nonrecursive makefile, sorts object files by source language, sequesters .o files, makedepend works
03:41
<&ToxicFrog>
These days, my approach to makefiles that are even slightly complicated is to let premake generate them for me.
03:42
<&McMartin>
I've always found makefile generators to be more work than doing it by hand. ---
03:42
<&McMartin>
But then, my needs are rarely complicated
03:42
<&McMartin>
-_- even
03:44
<&ToxicFrog>
My experience with premake has been that as long as you stick to what it knows (building C/C++ programs and libraries on windows, OSX, and linux) it is vastly less work than maintaining the makefiles/xcode project files/msdev project files by hand.
03:44
<&ToxicFrog>
Enceladus uses it.
03:44
<&ToxicFrog>
The main advantage of Make is that it can do anything you can do with the shell, as long as you don't mind it being relentlessly terrible at it.
03:44
<&McMartin>
Yeah. I don't need those things
03:45
<&McMartin>
I need dependency tracking and the ability to trivially pick up new files.
03:45
<&McMartin>
The former of which makedepend has been fine at for ages, and the latter of which I have stumbled across how to do.
03:46
<&McMartin>
I haven't put much thought into the Windows port of this stuff yet. -_-
03:46
<&McMartin>
I'm hoping I can set up MSYS to Just Work.
03:46
<&ToxicFrog>
https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Enceladus/blob/master/premake4.lua -- that's the config for enceladus
03:46
<&McMartin>
(I'm assisted in that unlike Enceladus I'm not trying to build a workable library.)
03:47
<&ToxicFrog>
And the shell script that generates the various build files from that: https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Enceladus/blob/master/premake.sh
03:47
<&ToxicFrog>
Yeah, enceladus needed to build executables and both static and dynamic libs
03:48
<&McMartin>
And that also had some spiders sneaking in on the mingw side, IIRC.
03:49
<&ToxicFrog>
TBH I never tried it in native mingw; I just fed the win32 makefile premake generated to a cross-compilation environment and it worked.
03:51
<&McMartin>
Yeah
03:51
<&McMartin>
It was me you had test that, IIRC~
03:52
<&McMartin>
Anyway, my remaining goals for Project Monocle this weekend are: Sound effect objects that work, and map data loaded through the resource system instead of through the file system.

<@Tamber>
AVG used to -- they may still have, but it might be a pig to find -- have a Linux version of their virus-scanner; for what that's worth.
20:20
<@Tamber>
There's also ClamAV, but the reports I've heard on how good that is range around "chocolate teapot".
20:20
< AnnoDomini>
Chocolate teapot?
20:21
<@Tamber>
As in "as much use as a"
20:21
< AnnoDomini>
Pff.
20:22
< Cryptikro>
Yeah Clam kinda does suck I tried using it
20:22
<@Tamber>
My stance on the matter is "They all suck golf-balls through a garden hose"
20:27
<@froztbyte>
AnnoDomini: better option: get a WinPE disc (BartPE, or whatever is fashionable these days)
20:27
<@froztbyte>
scan from there
20:28
< AnnoDomini>
What's a WinPE?
20:29
< Turaiel>
Windows Preinstallation Environment
20:31
< Turaiel>
You can use BartPE to create a preinstallation environment disc from a Windows install CD (XP is the last working one I think), and slipstream whatever software you want onto it. It's like a Windows Live CD.
20:47
< AnnoDomini>
I see.

When did gif become the standard internet video format anyway, wasn't it supposed to be H.264 or something
23:34
<@celticminstrel>
I don't understand why gif keeps being used as a video format either... it's really not...
23:34
<@celticminstrel>
Maybe because it's small-ish...
23:37
<@Tamber>
Presumably because ".gif works and is equally crappy in every browser!"
23:39
<~Vornicus>
it works, the tools are now good enough, there's no wrangling with decoders or flash or any of that bullshit
23:46
< AnnoDomini>
celticminstrel: What Tamber said, also tradition and backwards compatibility and inertia.
23:46
< AnnoDomini>
GIF will start to die out when the dominant image editors will stop supporting saving images in it.
23:47
<@TheWatcher>
gif will die out when html 5 makes it easy to embed video in pages without needing plugins
23:47
<@TheWatcher>
OH WAIT, WHAT AM I SAYING?
23:48 * TheWatcher goes and sticks some more pins in the microsoft and apple logos
23:48
<@TheWatcher>
Fucking farcical clusterfuck
23:48
<@TheWatcher>
(not that I'm bitter or anything)
23:48
< AnnoDomini>
But what will you do with a HTML 5 animation? Can you even save it to disk for your collection of soundless porn/cute kittens/mechanics/zit popping?
23:49
<&McMartin>
That's why the content providers hate it~
23:49
< AnnoDomini>
But yeah, GIF offers a very simple, very portable way to do animation.
23:49
<@TheWatcher>
... zit popping?
23:50
<@TheWatcher>
No, wait, I don't want to know.
23:50
<&McMartin>
I once tried to invent an obvious fake porn fandom flame war
23:50
<&McMartin>
It turned out to be a real thing bitterly fought on both sides
23:50
<&McMartin>
The lesson was learned but the damage was irreversible
23:55
<@gnolam>
Don't forget that GIFs are guaranteed soundless, which for this usage is a definite plus.
23:55
<@celticminstrel>
This is true, I guess.
23:59
<@gnolam>
And works without any bloody javascript.
