362264 - Cross-platform Tamarin build system

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Virtual Machine, defect)

Description

[Benjamin Smedberg]

We'd like to move away from the project files for MSVC/XCode (and linux makefiles) to a common build system. This is very first-draft and needs lots of work before it is ready, but I'd like to go ahead and land the first-cut files now. They build mmgc, avmplus, and the avm shell on mac-intel. The next steps include:

* a "cross" compile to mac-ppc
* universal binaries
* windows MSVC support
* linux support (I'm going to wait until the Linux code from Adobe lands before working on this)

Attachment: First-cut build system, rev. 1

This build system has the following requirements:

python 2.3+ (installed on mac by default)
GNU make 3.81+ (must be installed on mac! use darwinports "port install gmake")

First-cut build system, rev. 1

Looks like a nice start, but mostly rubber-stamped approval for now. We should circle back later to ensure all compiler settings are suitable (or configurable); Tamarin currently builds with a very aggressive set of warnings and we'd like to keep it that way :-)

I'm using -Wall and disabling the following, so I think I reproduced what you wanted:

-Wno-reorder -Wno-switch -Wno-invalid-offsetof

We should probably fix the -Wno-reorder issues, but I was going to do that in a separate patch.

There is already another bug for "enable more warnings in Tamarin" (360829), which I am working on as snippets of time permit.

Comment 5

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Fixed on trunk. I'll file followup bugs about adding MSVC support and the other bits.

Transfer Bug from Core->Tamarin to Tamarin Product.
