This looks good, btw. I just need to test out the 64-bit build, which is also a welcome addition.

[gamaral]

@leethomason You mean like generally? or to test this pull request? Cuz I builds fine in 64 bit right now. (Linux, Mac and Windows). :)

[leethomason]

I mean i like the changes. But i do want to verify on my machine. Just
haven't had the time yet.

2 problems with the pull request:

• CreateDirectory() is windows-only. I'm not aware of a cross-platform way to create a directory.
• When I compile x64, I get: Error: The "ConfigurationGeneral" rule is missing from the project.

Which Visual Studio edition you use?

Express, Professional, Ultimate?

[leethomason]

Sorry - 2010 Express. The free one. (I use the fancy one at work, and
have never noticed a difference.)

VS 2010 Express doesn't support 64-bit projects

[leethomason]

Of all the silly things. Go Microsoft.

Hmmm...the critical issue then is the CreateDirectory(). How do you
feel about pulling out that (and the 'out' files, regrettably), and
then I can at least merge in the x64 changes?

I'll fix this later. Replace it by mkdir

[leethomason]

Well...that introduces a new dependency. You end up with:

#if MSCV
CreateDirectory()
#elif
mkdir
#elif
???
#endif

The maintenance of that strikes me as more problematic than the lack
of 'out' directory.

How about this approach:

• put some text file, in source control, in the output directory.
  (readme.txt contains a brief message that this is where output is
  written.)
• then you are guaranteed the existence of the directory, and don't
  need the Create/mk

mkdir is standard C function. Should work on all platforms.

[leethomason]

Live and learn...I thought it was only in the *nix flavors:

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/

But VS2010 does support it, admittedly in their own special way:

but standard mkdir works too http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235326%28v=vs.80%29.aspx ef1c69c

[gamaral]

I should warn you guys, I've heard rumors all the posix C calls will go away (if not the whole C API), at least the SUA will:

http://brianreiter.org/2011/09/15/sua-deprecated-in-windows-8/

That means all the following calls will go away in W8:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776816(v=ws.10) (which include most of the _* ones., like _mkdir and mkdir <= VS2008)

I really hope I'm mistaken, windows is a pretty big market for my game stuff.

[KindDragon]

@gamaral We use C API only in test application

[leethomason]

Agreed, only the test. However, mkdir() is still different on *nix and Windows:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904875/functions/mkdir.html

I'll put in the fix.
