This patch should:

- auto set some compile-time variables (includes, libraries, etc.) and will compile and link 32/64 versions based on host system environment (at last works under MSYS2)

- outputs objects to "_obj" and binaries to "_bin" avoiding some clutter in main repository tree.

- show less verbose and more cleaner compile progress status like this:

Code: Select all: Compiling Src/OSD/SDL/SDLInputSystem.cpp... Compiling Src/OSD/Windows/DirectInputSystem.cpp... Compiling Src/OSD/Outputs.cpp... Compiling Src/OSD/Windows/WinOutputs.cpp... Compiling Src/OSD/Logger.cpp... Compiling Src/Pkgs/tinyxml2.cpp... Compiling Src/Debugger/Debugger.cpp... Compiling Src/Debugger/ConsoleDebugger.cpp... ... Compiling Src/Debugger/CPU/Musashi68KDebug.cpp... Compiling Src/Debugger/CPU/Z80Debug.cpp... Linking _bin/supermodel.exe...

- be multithread-friendly so that issuing "make -jx" with x > 1 now works as expected (and is a lot faster too!).

compile options:
VERBOSE = [0|1] with '1' reverts to old verbose progress status
ENABLE_DEBUGGER = [0|1] with '1' include console-based debugger in emulator (like the original makefile)

Testing, as always, is welcome and appreciated. Let me know!

I've tried to build Supermodel on this MSYS2, using your makefile. While multithread speeds up the process greatly, compilation fails at linking.

As there isn't any -lmingw32 in your makefile, I think this could be a distro problem or I'm missing another package... (not to mention, that I had to solve a bunch of other issues to get to this point)
Which MSYS2/MINIGW distro are you using?

I currently use this: http://www.msys2.org it's a fork by a certain Alexpux (repository: https://github.com/Alexpux)

It's updated daily, and uses Arch Linux's Pacman as package manager. I build MAME, Supermodel, Cen64, Mupen64Plus and other small tools with it. It's super easy to install and maintain.

Note however: if you want to build under Windows (I use Windows 7 x64) you have to start either with:

Code: Select all: msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64

or:

Code: Select all: msys2_shell.cmd -mingw32

depending in what type of binary you want to build. But using for example:

Code: Select all: msys2_shell.cmd -msys

you will not able to build native windows binaries, unless you want cross-compile. Let me know!

By chance, I've installed the same one (different link to the same thing). Well, Pacman was the reason, why I've chose this disto.

That did the trick.

Thank you for help.

Glad you did it!

Thanks for all your hard work on this! I'm glad you and Ian are making amazing progress on the graphics engine. I've been swamped with other projects lately so I haven't had much time for Supermodel

But I do intend to incorporate your changes, beginning with this one.

I'm using standard msys with tdm-gcc, so I don't have access to pkg-config. I think what I'll do is make a modification to fall back on hard-coded paths in the Makefile if pkg-config does not exist (I'm not a Makefile guru, so hopefully it's easy to detect when pkg-config fails to execute).

Ok!

I used pkg-config to automatize system libs and header inclusion and to be platform agnostic as possible as i can, however it's better to implement a fallback mechanism like you said.

BTW, "make" documentation is huge, I'm neither a guru and spent a whole day to figure out how to set variable overrides inside the makefile...

make is really annoying me. I almost want to get rid of Makefiles and write a custom Python build script that automagically builds everything (we have something like this at work and it's super clever -- no need to ever write a Makefile, it just figures out what to build by itself).

I wanted to have the makefile detect whether pkg-config exists on the system but it seems there is no easy way to test whether a command can execute successfully?

PATCH UPDATE for r620

Updated makefile for the recent changes. It's tested ONLY under MSYS2 environment (launched with "-mingw64 -mintty -here" command line parameters) running under Windows 7 x64.

It relies on the presence of "pkg-config" cli tool to get the environment paths for the various dependencies (includes and libs).

Thank you Harry.
It's working fine on Windows 10 x64.
