Howdy, I've just started working on a pure GLX-based version of quake2. The reason being that I'm not aware of a way to effectively use a source-level debugger like gdb, with the current use of dlopen()/dlsym() Is there a way I'm missing to do this? Otherwise, would there be any interest in seeing this alternate version somewhere in the quake cvs repository somewhere? BTW: as I go, I'm doing my best to make it more cross-platform (at least for UNIXen) than the current version. Ideally, I think that since the GLX API is somewhat standard, it should be possible to have a single source tree, with a single unified top-level Makefile, that will compile the same for linux, irix, solaris, freebsd, .... [with just minor changes for sublibraries to deal with audio handling, etc.] The current stuff is unfortunately fragmented when it comes to build handling, and it doesnt have to be. |

I agree, and I've already been thinking about this for a while. The OS specific subdirectories can (and should) be merged together, there is a lot of redundant code between them all -- any bugfixes and feature enhancements to one OS are lost to the others. I feel the merge should be done soon; trying to merge the code after the code has diverged will be a royal PITA. Hell, I've got another week to go before uni starts again, I'll give it a shot and come up with some patches, hopefully people with various flavours of OS can lend a hand to make sure it works. I think I'll autoconfiscate the code at the same time, if no-one objects. -- ja...@sp... http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg <Balial> Am I imagining it, or is the best way to monitor red-hat versions to watch all the loser questions on SLUG? -- #sodfest97 |
