- Generate version header in the build tree
- Generate .res file in the build tree on Windows
- Add the $(SRC_PATH) prefix to the .def files on Windows
This is for building code in the "app" mode (for Windows
Store apps/RT/metro/modern UI/appcontainer), which restricts API
usage and uses the Windows Runtime APIs for threading instead of the
old Win32 functions that aren't available for such apps.
This is similar to building for Windows Phone, but without the phone
specific libraries.
The common parts are abstracted to a common include makefile, that
both the targets "msvc-app" and "msvc-wp" use.
Keep support for the ENABLE64BIT flag (as a flag for choosing between
32 and 64 bit, if the current arch happens to be x86) but avoid using
it in code that wants to know the exact architecture used.
This makes the platform build files more straightforward and
consistent.
This is the same dirs as used as output dir by the msvc project files.
This makes sure that the project files can pick up the output files
directly instead of having to manually copy them around.
This makes sure the code is at least somewhat tested. Ideally those
assembly functions should be upgraded to work in 64 bit mode as well,
but until then it's better to actually use them in the configurations
where they can be built.
There is no problem in using the "insecure" CRT functions, as long as
they are used correctly - especially not within the test suite where
they are only are exposed to the test suite input data.
Within the library, these are used via the library internal wrappers
in codec/common/src/crt_util_safe_x.cpp, but we'd rather not use them
in the test suite - just use the normal standard C functions here.
This disables armasm warning A4509, "This form of conditional
instruction is deprecated".
The conditional instructions (such as movcs, addcs, subscs)
have been deprecated in ARMv8, in favor of conditional branches.
This isn't something that we need to take immediate action about,
though, therefore silence the warning.
Prior to 3f69873c99, there already was a mechanism for installing
the import library, used for the MSVC builds. Use that for mingw
as well, instead of adding more hardcoded rules.
