- reset .gitignore to disallow any internal\help uploads again (folder is created during build now)
- get rid of old changelog (changes can better be summarized at release pages)
- added a change by @dkearns from the old QB64Team repository (comment highlighting after `REM`)
- the pure fact we're running the qb64pe executable causes creation of file tempfoldersearch.bin on LNX/OSX only, which must be deleted after run (this caused LNX/OSX checks to fail)
- Wiki parser: added $ to the list of critical file name chars (LNX/OSX doesn't like those)
- checks all remaining occurrences of the term 'qb64', some remain untouched, some are renamed according to context
- also added new logo for README.md
- this step does finalize the 'Phoenix Edition' re-branding
- int/src/icon.ico (replaced image but same name, dynamically created from given $EXEICON)
- int/src/icon.rc (updated but same name, dynamically created from given $VERSIONINFO)
- int/src/qb64.ico and src/icon.rc removed (not used anymore since dynamic creation was implemented)
- src/qb64.bas updated (rename comes in a later step)
- src/qb64.ico replaced and renamed
Headings enforce a blank line before it as separation to the previous section. Definition lists are rendered in blockquote style as in the Wiki, also enforce blank line separation.
In QB64, when linking with an external static library `nm.exe` is used
to determine whether the symbol being used is either a C or C++ symbol,
which determines how the function should be declared in the C++ code.
Unfortunately on Windows the `SHELL` command for `nm.exe` is missing the
`cmd /c`, which means the redirection does not work and consequently
we're unable to find the function declaration via `nm.exe`, which causes
the compilation to fail.
In addition to fixing this, I added tests for `DECLARE STATIC LIBRARY`
for all supported platforms.
Fixes: #112
The math evaluator already contains a few checks for zero when we're
executing operations that could cause a `Divide By Zero` error, but the
actual value input is floating point and can get rounded to zero when
the operation happens. This effectively allows zero values to bypass the
checks to prevent them from being evaluated.
To avoid the error completely we need to check that the rounded value is
not zero, rather than the initial value. FIX() is used to make sure
values such a `-.1` round to zero and are avoided. I also applied FIX()
when we actually execute the operation, just to ensure the same
behavior.
The C++ compiler Settings menu uses the shortcut key 'o', but that's
actually already in use and thus creates a conflict. We're switching it
to use the option 'm', which does not conflict.
Fixes: #105
This is a bit of an odd one, but files with $ in the name don't compile
correctly due to expansion being done on the $.
The culprit here is `make`, as the syntax '$x' is interpreted to mean to
insert the expansion of the variable 'x'. To avoid this behavior we have
to replace every single $ with $$. Make will interpret the $$ to mean it
should insert a single $ and not do any expansion, which is what we
want.
Fixes: #96
The new dialogs includes 5 settings:
1. Flag to turn on Optimization (off by default)
2. Flag to strip symbols (On by default)
3. String for extra compiler flags
4. String for extra linker flags
5. Setting for max compiler processes (default of 3)

- `qb64 -u` can be used during build to populate internal/help, it basically invokes the "Update all pages" action from the IDE's Help menu
- switch is not listed in -? usage help, as I consider it a hidden build-only option
- Update loop is aborted on error.
- Instead of the error popup, a dynamically generated error page is shown with a link to the `curl` download page and some simple instructions.
Makefile's generally hate spaces in filenames, and it's largely
impossible to make them work. Due to that, with the change to use a
`Makefile` the `EXE=` parameter did not work with spaces, and programs
such as "foo bar.bas" would not compile because it produces "foo
bar.exe" which has a space in the name.
There were options here, but in this very specific case it is actually
possible to allow the Makefile to work with spaces. `EXE` is only a
single filename, so as long as we always quote it correctly and the
provided `EXE=` parameter escapes the spaces with `\` then it will work.
Thus, we modified the Makefile to always do the quoting, and modified
QB64 to automatically escape the spaces in the executable name provided
to the Makefile.
I also modified the `compile_tests` to test that spaces in filenames and
paths of the executable correctly compile.
Fixes: #80
When building directly from the repo (either from a git clone or a
download of the zip of the repository) the version reported is very
misleading because it will not have a version label, suggesting it is
actually a 'release' version when in fact it could be anything.
The ./.ci/calculate-version.sh logic is already setup to delete an
existing ./internal/version.txt during a detected release build, so we
can just place one in the repositroy and it won't impact the versioning
of CI and release builds, but will show up when building locally.
Fixes: #63
Cached wiki file names get a spelling label for case insensitive systems. External links are working (clickable) now and open in the standard application.
Having two separate files for the compile output is just too confusing,
and it adds an extra file users need to look at and give us when there
are issues. This change simply makes qb64.bas send both the stdout and
stderr output to compilelog.txt.
Fixes: #61
Replaced both instances with one single sub to reduce code and make things easier to maintain and upkeep. It's always easier to work in one spot than it is in multiple.
The Makefile was incorrectly tying together _ICON and icon.rc, making it
impossible to use one without the other. To fix this we introduce a new
DEP_ICON_RC flag, which indicates we need to use the icon.rc file (in
addition to regular icon support). DEP_ICON now only indicates we need
to support _ICON, and does not attempt to build the resource
information.
The resource file we create contains two separate values for FileVersion
and ProductVersion. Currently, they are actually represented by two
separate values in $VERSIONINFO and effectively require duplicating the
information between them.
My understanding is that the string values should always be the same as
the numerical versions, so to make $VERSIONINFO easier to use this
changes the logic so that setting the numerical version will
automatically also set the string version if values for them are not
provided.
Previously, the creation of the icon.rc file was restricted to be
Windows only because Windows is the only platform with a use for that
file. Unfortunately, this breaks a fundimental assumption about how the
QB64 C++ generation works, because we only have one set of
`./internal/source` files from which we build all versions of QB64 for
all platforms. Due to that, the built version needs to include all files
needed by all platforms, regardless of which one is doing the building.
So to that end, all platforms should produce the icon.rc, even if it
will not be used on that platform.
Additionally, the path to the icon file in `icon.rc` is problimatic
because it is made into an absolute path. This blocks `qb64.bas` from
using `$EXEICON` because the absolute path is not predictable, as
the location we create ./internal/source will be different from the
location we build ./internal/source. Effectively this means that the
`icon.rc` file in `./internal/source` would always be wrong.
The solution is to not use an absolute path, with the other option being
to have the icon in the same directory as the resource file. This is
actually relatively easy to acomplish since icon files are not terribly
large and we can simply copy it into the temp directory.
Thus, that is what this change does - the specified icon file is copied
into the temp directory as `icon.ico`, which allows use to use
`icon.ico` in the `icon.rc` file and have it always work regardless of
directory.
The internal logic was also cleaned up a bit. The creation of these
files is no longer Windows specific, and the $EXEICON parsing no longer
writes to the `icon.rc` file - rather, the entire thing is generated
together, with both the $VERSIONINFo and $EXEICON depending on which
were provided.
Reset version number to 0.5.0.
Added "Phoenix Edition" to our name, so nobody will think we're still working with the old team of QB64, and mistakenly donate to the wrong Patreon, or buy merchandise wrongly thinking they were supporting us. :)
