Where's the source of the cross platform build located anyway?

[The E]

What "cross-platform build"?

[blowfish]

For the most part, Linux and Mac builds use the same source code as the windows builds.  You might find the occasional additional file or library required for these platforms in the project file folders themselves.

Well if that's the case the source is still the same.  It's all in SVN.  There are instructions stickied in the SCP threads.

so which projects/makefiles are configured for which OS? And where does the code differ. I mean the entire registry, windows creation, OS access stuff has to differ SOMEwhere.

How do you build for the other platforms?

[chief1983]

Well, Visual Studio is obviously for Windows

The Code::Blocks one is the one that threw me, seems it was originally set up for Linux but hasn't been maintained and probably needs to be updated or removed.

Xcode, again, obviously for OS X.

Linux building is done via the autotools files.  With a fresh checkout/export, run:

./autogen.sh [--enable-debug] [--enable-inferno]
make

Then you'll have fs2_open_[INF_][r, d] in your code folder.  Copy it out and run 'make clean' to clear the slate, or reconfigure it with autogen.sh.

Not sure what you mean about the 'entire registry'.  There are some files that are included in the Linux build process, and some that are only included in Windows, such as the audio files (taylor is cleaning that up though), the unix/win ini/registry stuff, etc.  That's controlled at the project include level I think, but there are also many #ifdef _WIN32 checks throughout the code, etc.  Just gotta look for it.

Here's a hint: Take a look at \code\osapi\.

That's controlled at the project include level I think, but there are also many #ifdef _WIN32 checks throughout the code, etc.  Just gotta look for it.

The symbol is SCP_UNIX not _WIN32, but yes, all code for all platforms is in the same code base.  As noted by The E, it is mostly contained to files in osapi.

That's all I wanted to know. Thanks.
