The output is similar for 32-bit as well.

Hmm, so it is running it but still not working. Weird. Is there a r_drawersasm.obj file next to the r_*.cpp files in the src folder?

Yes, there is.

Code: Select all

11/28/2016  03:26 PM            26,160 r_drawers.cpp
11/28/2016  03:26 PM            12,459 r_drawers.h
11/28/2016  06:07 PM         2,127,308 r_drawersasm.obj
               3 File(s)      2,165,927 bytes
If I had to take a wild guess, shouldn't it be outputting to the build folder? I get the impression that the source folder should not even be touched by the entire build process, although I can understand if you were doing this just to get it working.

Try add the following to drawergen.cpp:

Code: Select all

#include <chrono>
#include <thread>

...

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	...

	using namespace std::chrono_literals;
	std::this_thread::sleep_for(2s); // Doh! Silly OS if this works!
	return 0;
}
The main function is at the bottom of the file.

Ideally yes, but I got a bit lazy because then I had to figure out how to use that path in the CMakeLists.txt file. The gitinfo.h file was getting dumped in that location, so I just did the same. You're welcome to clean up my mess. :D

@compile errors: I checked in the sleep now, maybe easier that way.

Yeah, that didn't work either. It's expecting it in /build/QZDoom/src/ but it's in the actual source folder.

I'll see what I can do to coax it to put it in the proper location.

Fixed.

Don't hate me, please. >_>

Now the linker is searching for the .obj file in the source tree, instead. >_> I think CMake just hates me.

Lol, maybe you can persuade it by typing the full path in the locations it is referenced in the CMakeLists.txt file.

Already done.

But I noticed that line is not .[o|obj] aware. So it's quite likely this doesn't work on Mac or Linux.

On the bright side - we have dev builds again.

On the not so bright side though - they're slower than my 10 year old computer. :P >_> *hides*

You mean you're noticing a performance drop when running it now?

Yeah, it's a bit slower than it used to be.

Actually - nevermind, it seems to be about the same speed, I used actual tools to measure it and it's about the same.

I am actually a little surprised that we aren't seeing a drop. I'm 100% sure that it used AVX instructions earlier (that's why it was crashing for those older CPUs), and I would have expected that to amount to a measurable difference. Now we only use SSE 2 and still get same speed. CPU's are weird!
