| 00:49.36 | macsforme | blast007: are you interested in making the bzflag-dependencies repository work for other platforms as well (macOS, specifically)? |
| 00:50.16 | macsforme | I'd like to consider transitioning the macOS build procedure to use a pre-build dependencies package, like we do on windows |
| 00:53.25 | macsforme | for starters, it may be as simple as creating build script for macOS and adding it to the repository, and then I don't know if any build output paths would need to change, or if the release procedures would need to change to accommodate another platform, but I can't think of anything else |
| 00:53.26 | blast007 | at that point would it be easier/better to make use of CMake? most of the deps in there already support CMake. |
| 00:53.51 | blast007 | I think the only one that doesn't is regex, and we could probably use some standard C++11 regex stuff instead for 2.6 |
| 00:54.16 | macsforme | CMake in lieu of the .BAT script? |
| 00:54.23 | blast007 | yeah |
| 00:54.59 | blast007 | Either way, I need to do something to fix the SDL2 build, since that's using the 2010 compiler instead of 2015. |
| 00:55.36 | blast007 | I had tried to avoid modifying any of the third-party files so that it was easier to update stuff. |
| 00:55.52 | macsforme | that would probably be fine... macOS doesn't come with CMake like most of the other *nixes, but it's not difficult to install (and Windows users are already in that same boat) |
| 00:57.23 | macsforme | macOS just needs c-ares and SDL2 right now (plus libPNG on 2.6, I think) |
| 00:57.46 | blast007 | on mac, how would you go about making our build use these? on Windows we set an environment variable pointing to the folder. Dunno what features Xcode has for that kind of thing. |
| 00:58.31 | blast007 | is the regex thing in our deps only used by Windows? |
| 00:59.16 | blast007 | I suppose the nix's already have a regex.h |
| 01:01.57 | macsforme | it looks like Xcode can do environmental variables internally, or it could be a project file configuration option (although people might commit that back to the repository by mistake) |
| 01:03.13 | macsforme | are you up for making it default to some subdirectory of the main repository? e.g. bzflag/dependencies, unless the environmental variable is set to something else? |
| 01:03.58 | blast007 | works for me. we could probably do the same on Windows. |
| 01:04.32 | macsforme | yeah, some consistency there between the two platforms would be great |
| 01:07.06 | macsforme | would we build a dependencies package for each platform separately, or release one package that includes built libraries for both? |
| 01:07.23 | blast007 | probably one for each |
| 01:08.01 | macsforme | that sounds easier to manage than the alternative |

| 23:12.29 | The_Noah | can BZFlag use TCP, or can it only use UDP? |
