CPack works closely together with CMake to do the right thing in
terms of bundling (called 'package'). This generates all the
packaging we need, and some more.
- A proper ./configure, so everything needs to be configured only once, not for every make.
- Usage of makedepend when available. This greatly reduces the time needed for generating the dependencies.
- A generator for all project files. There is a single file with sources, which is used to generate Makefiles and the project files for MSVC.
- Proper support for OSX universal binaries.
- Object files for non-MSVC compiles are also placed in separate directories, making is faster to switch between debug and release compiles and it does not touch the directory with the source files.
- Functionality to make a bundle of all needed files for for example a nightly or distribution of a binary with all needed GRFs and language files.
Note: as this merge moves almost all files, it is recommended to make a backup of your working copy before updating your working copy.
Also removed all the Makefile code regarding this flag since it's no longer needed
Removed documentation about special limitations regarding running the game on OSX 10.2
OpenTTD now officially needs OSX 10.3.9 to work correctly (the trunk needed that for months)
- New optional landscape generator (TerraGenesis Perlin)
- Load heightmaps (either BMP or PNG)
- Progress dialog while generating worlds (no longer a 'hanging' screen)
- New dialogs for NewGame, Create Scenario and Play Heightmap
- Easier to configure your landscape
- More things to configure (tree-placer, ..)
- Speedup of world generation
- New console command 'restart': restart the map EXACTLY as it was when you
first started it (needs a game made after or with this commit)
- New console command 'getseed': get the seed of your map and share it with
others (of course only works with generated maps)
- Many new, world generation related, things
- Many internal cleanups and rewrites

-Fix: [OSX] allow subdirs in scenario when using make release (copies the subdirs as well)
-Fix: [OSX] removed an outdated line in make release that prevented the creation of the dmg file
Now OSX stores object files in .OSX and instead of making FAT object files, there are one for each architecture
Each architecture got their own targets to make a non-FAT binary and in the end, lipo will merge them into one binary
It's now possible to select which architectures you want to support by defining OTTD_PPC, OTTD_PPC970 (G5) and/or OTTD_i386
All combos are supported. UNIVERSAL_BINARY and TRIPLE_BINARY can still be used even though it's possible to gain the same result by using the new flags
Making a universal build when you already got part of it compiled (say the PPC part), it will reuse it and only compile the i386 part to save time
Note: in some cases when you switch flags, you risk that openttd is not updated. Delete it and try again. The Makefile can't solve this except if it forces linking each time
This fixes: FS#87 universal binary building borked in 0.4.7
Now universal binaries work on OSX 10.3.9 again
Building universal binaries no longer needs to store flags in Makefile.config as the new design makes it possible to figure everything out automatically
-added an explanation to why there is a special Jaguar download (people appears to download it even when they should download the other one)
-removed the long outdated README_if_game_crashed_on_OSX.txt
if detected, WITH_ICONV will be defined in the C code
WITH_ICONV is also added to Makefile.config
OSX do not use this flag setting in Makefile.config, as it is set at compile time based on target OS version
the actual C code is not changed as the current iconv code is hardcoded for OSX and would break if any other OS got iconv
This detection system is by request of Darkvater
it now uses REV instead of RELEASE, which means RELEASE is not needed to be set manaully anymore
it also automatically adds "-jaguar" when making a build aimed at OSX 10.2 (codenamed jaguar)
Instead of compiling a binary for each arch and then join them in the end, each .o file is now compiled as a fat file
This means that the makefile will not call itself to make a binary for each target and we don't have to make clean between each build
it also means that if one file changed, we don't have to recompile all files
Another benefit is since it's handled at .o level and though LDFLAGS, no special code is needed if we decide to compile more binaries (like a lot of stuff used to happen at post linking)
We also needs much less flags to set up, so it should be even easier to get to work out of the box now
The tradeoff in doing so is that now the binary needs at least OSX 10.3.9 to execute
To deal with this issue, the JAGUAR flag can be used to compile for older OSes. We will release a binary for old OSes at next release to see if anybody even downloads it (not that many people use OSX 10.2 anymore)
GPMI will not work on 10.2 anyway so we will cut support for it some day anyway
It also adds a new error window, which can be used just like assert, but it is also active when asserts are turned off
This is useful for places where it's really important to check even if assert is turned off. It's not used in the code yet
the package is long gone and people don't read a doc about a missing package when they don't expect to find one
the doc is called install even though it's not a real install and have nothing to do with make install. People just read it the first time they see it when it's called install ;)
G4 have no problems using G3 code while G5 can, but really benefit from getting their own optimised code (Apple: G5 is not just a fast G4)
Also changed FAT_BINARY to UNIVERSAL_BINARY since Apple removed most (all?) references to fat binaries on their homepage two days after I added FAT_BINARY
This increases the execution speed a lot since GCC can't detect the OTTD macro as an endian conversion
while Apple's code uses the instruction to convert endian instead of a series of instructions to produce the same result
Since we don't have that many endian conversions in the game, overall performance should not increase noteworthy
you can still use SDL drivers if you like and you have to run "make upgradeconf" to start using the cocoa drivers (or manually write WITH_COCOA:=1)
since SDL breaks the cocoa drivers, you can't compile with both SDL and cocoa support
Using cocoa drivers makes it easier to make universal binaries and it solves:
-FS#18 [OSX] SDL is weird in universal binaries
-FS#2 [OSX] lazy pointer crash on exit
-FS#10 [OSX] linking error when linking statically to SDL 1.2.8 (needless to explain this, but it means it should be able to compile statically with the default settings now)
-[ 1215073 ] Switching to large size out of fullscreen crashes
Using SDL drivers will still have those issues though
