- Refactored all builder (make_*) functions into separate Python modules along to the build tree
- Introduced utility function to wrap all invocations on Windows, but does not change it elsewhere
- Introduced stub to use the builders module as a stand alone script and invoke a selected function
There is a problem with file handles related to writing generated content (*.gen.h and *.gen.cpp)
on Windows, which randomly causes a SHARING VIOLATION error to the compiler resulting in flaky
builds. Running all such content generators in a new subprocess instead of directly inside the
build script works around the issue.
Yes, I tried the multiprocessing module. It did not work due to conflict with SCons on cPickle.
Suggested workaround did not fully work either.
Using the run_in_subprocess wrapper on osx and x11 platforms as well for consistency. In case of
running a cross-compilation on Windows they would still be used, but likely it will not happen
in practice. What counts is that the build itself is running on which platform, not the target
platform.
Some generated files are written directly in an SConstruct or SCsub file, before the parallel build starts. They don't need to be written in a subprocess, apparently, so I left them as is.
On macOS, it is common to install packages like Mono through the third-party
package-manager Homebrew. This commit simply adds an additional path to
where Homebrew installs the Mono framework.
- Add (Csc/Vbc/Fsc)ToolExe environment variables when running Mono's MSBuild.
- Fix directory for the 'mono_assemblies_output_dir' argument being created with the '#' top level directory token as part of its name.
- Allow to build with 'mono_static=yes' on Unix without specifying a mono prefix. The build script will try to find the mono prefix using the output from pkg-config.
- Bundle with mscorlib.dll to avoid compatibilities issues
- Add build option 'mono_assemblies_output_dir' to specify the output directory where the assemblies will be copied to. '#bin' by default.
- Make sure to search the mono installation directory for the right architecture in the windows registry.
- Do not build GodotSharpTools directly to #bin dir. Instead build to the default output path and copy it. This way we avoid MSBuild adding files we don't want to #bin.
- Add hint path for MSBuild in OSX.
- Copy shared library on Unix if not statically linking.
- Use vswhere to search MSBuild and search for 14.0 tools version in the registry instead of 4.0.
- SCons will only fallback xbuild when msbuild is not found if 'xbuild_fallback=yes' is passed to the command.
- Use mono's assembly path as FrameworkPathOverride if using with system's MSBuild (not mono's fork).
- Cleanup.
