Oolite Bulletins

I compared: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite-windows-build-env/blob/main/gcc/Msys_x2/1.0/DevlibsBuildFiles64/SDL-1.2.13/include/SDL_events.h#L137-L143 with: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite-windows-build-env/blob/main/gcc/Msys_x2/1.0/Devlibs/include/SDL/SDL_events.h#L137-L144 There is ...

I've made a PR to clean up and simplify the build flags: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/pull/523 Fix typo DOO_FOV_INFLIGHT_CONTROL_ENABLEDD Remove FEATURE_REQUEST_5496 as no references in code Replace OO_EXCLUDE_DEBUG_SUPPORT with NDEBUG in code for consistency - previously if you set NDEBU...

"During my last 8 years working in dev teams, DevOps teams and plain ops teams, using Submodules always resulted in chaos, to the point that all projects abandoned submodules and added linters that forbid adding submodules" I've had such 'fun' wrangling the submodule with git. Mercifully ...

I've made a cmake build of Oolite which I've tested briefly on Linux and seems to build and run ok. You can see the WIP setup here if interested: https://github.com/mcarans/oolite/tree/cmake. I haven't looked at the packaging part so far or tested on Windows for which I'll need to play around with t...

I would like to ask a basic question: are submodules necessary? Could we for example use a monorepo or possibly package management (eg. GitHub itself can house build artifacts)? The reason I ask is in case there might be a simpler way to organise the project particularly after MrFlibble's changes, i...

The Clang flag is now in the GNUmakefile and so doesn't need to be added manually when building Oolite with Clang instead of gcc.

Have been busy this evening.

Latest attempt

I've removed old includes, and now use espeak-ng (thanks LoneWolf).

Fantastic work! You're making great progress.

I've made this change in this PR: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/pull/521 Nice work. I'm wondering where a test build might be available. Thanks! At the moment, the main Oolite repo doesn't produce working Linux test builds. I can make one for Windows that works (as that is what I installe...

I wanted to give this a test drive but was distracted with the HDR multi monitor stuff so it fell a bit behind. I will try to do it as soon as I get a chance. Provided that it does not change any of the existing functionality and Windows installers can still be built, I would be OK with it. Just ne...

8bit microprocessors? Codswallop! We want clockwork !! And... where do I plug in my HOTAS? :lol: The Windows port has already departed from 32-bit and there is already a note in the downloads section of oolite.space that 1.90 is the last version to have 32-bit support on Windows. Win32 is about to ...

Is anyone using 32 bit versions of files? If not, I'd suggest removing https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite-linux-dependencies/tree/master/x86 and moving the folders here up to the root: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite-linux-dependencies/tree/master/x86_64, simplifying GNUmakefile accordi...

Looking at this forum and GitHub issues, it seems many people including me run into the texture issue which can be solved with: rm deps/Linux-deps/include/png.h rm deps/Linux-deps/include/pngconf.h I was wondering if on any modern Linux builds those two files are actually needed. If not, then should...

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/libdispatch/libdispatch/. Fedora builds it from source with up to date dependencies, so it should be possible. You can look at the .spec file for the exact instructions used. Also I compiled gnustep for the flatpak from a source tarball and it just worked usi...
