This makes it clearer which ones actually are real platforms
(chosen automatically or explicitly via "make ARCH=foo") and which
ones just are shared helpers.
This allows building two versions for different architectures at
the same time, without the built files clobbering each other.
This is very helpful when trying to track down differences between
two build configurations.
To build outside of the source tree, create the other directory to
use for building (either outside of the openh264 directory, or as
a subdirectory), enter that directory, and do
"make -f path/to/openh264/Makefile".
Nothing within the library actually uses these defines for anything
any more.
If necessary, the built-in defines __APPLE__ and __linux__ can be
used instead of these manually added defines. This is similar to how
we use _WIN32 instead of manually defining WIN32.
Treating warnings as error is useless if no warning is activated.
Several build systems enable -Wall in the CLFAGS, which in combination
with -Werror can trigger undesired build errors.
The --prefix parameter differs between yasm and nasm; nasm
requires --prefix _ while yasm requires --prefix=_. Using the
define instead (as on windows) allows easier switching between
the two otherwise mostly compatible assemblers.
This fixes building with yasm on OS X in 32 bit mode. For 64 bit,
a few more tweaks are still required.
This avoids coupling the architecture directly to the platform,
allowing building on e.g. linux on architectures other than x86,
without having to explicitly specify USE_ASM=No while building
on those.
Later this will also facilitate enabling assembly optimizations
where applicable, e.g. arm assembly on linux.
This is enabled for platforms/compilers that support the -MMD
option, which creates a dependency file named out.d when compiling
to a file named out.o, only including local, not system headers.
The additional -MP option adds phony targets for all included
headers, to avoid having make error out due to "no rule to make
target foo.h" if a header is renamed/removed.
This makes sure that all the right files are rebuilt if a header
is changed, avoiding the need for a full rebuild if only a few
files are affected.
Don't enable threading globally since the MSVC/ARM build target
(neither windows phone nor windows rt) doesn't support the normal
windows threading functions.
The library uses this define to enable OS X specific functionality
in general, even if none of those snippets actually have been
strictly required so far.
