Linux doesn’t support Batch files but Shell syntax is similar: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html

Most of the basic commands have similar versions on Linux, too. May not be too difficult to put together a Shell script, as well? 🙂

Crumpets. The license should be getting imported. I’ll have to take a closer look at the commands. I definitely have that option set but I may need to update the file format

What’s in the Config directory? That’s new.

Are the DLLs anywhere? May need to tweak the directory layout. What’s the directory structure look like? They’re definitely…[Read more]

We now have an installer in the MSI format: https://github.com/deathssoul/MWEdit/actions/runs/18903584084/artifacts/4403855739

If possible, could you do a test run and report back as to its behavior? I have no clue if it’s set up properly. 😛

We now have a 64-bit build of MWEdit. Swapping out the 32-bit version of DevIL did the trick. Now I just need to clean everything up and we can decide on a build system. The packaging script needs fixing: apparently, GitHub Actions preserves the directory structure during packaging so we have an unusable archive without moving the files around…[Read more]

And for the holidays: https://www.trainworld.com/bachmann-00724-ho-jingle-bell-express-christmas-starter-train-set.html

Lots of possibilities with model trains!

That was quick! Better keep some in reserve! 😛

Oh, got the two for her! When she was visiting my mom once, she fell in love with chewing on them so I got her a couple for here. She…[Read more]

Couldn’t find many scaled power plants available for model railroads (found a few coal plants) and couldn’t find any nuclear power plants that are still available. Only thing I could find was this discontinued one. There are a few blueprint files available for 3D printers, however. Granted, that requires a 3D printer 😛

He really likes the toy!…[Read more]

Okay, here’s the download link for the 1.8.0 SDK: https://gigenet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/openil/DevIL%20Windows%20SDK/1.8.0/DevIL-Windows-SDK-1.8.0.zip

That’s a direct link and wget grabs it without issues so we should be able to plug that into the CI and have it grab it and unpack it for automated builds. It includes both the Unicode…[Read more]

VS with the usual SDKs (make sure you grab the C++20 runtime as that’s what we’re targeting right now but may switch to C++23 later) with the optional MFC package, along with Git so you don’t need to keep grabbing the tarballs and CMake (at least initially). From my investigating, MFC is the only optional Windows component in use. Visual Studio…[Read more]

Got the MFC stuff added to CMake locally. At least, I think it’s done. It’ll be in the next push. 🙂

Now to work on a plan for the image library.

Never had the issue on either OS, myself. I find DisplayPort to be more stable overall than other cable types. It also has nice features, such as daisy-chaining monitors to keep cable clutter to a minimum and better support for high-bit color if you work with a lot of images.

No worries! Figured the CI stuff out: they changed how you use CMake from the command-line since I last used it. So the CI has been updated 🙂

I think that’s a different issue. The bug looked to be an obscure parser bug that was occurring regularly but then disappeared randomly. Meson was complaining about not being able to run Ninja and to use…[Read more]

Still crapping out on DevIL so it’s the project, not Meson. I’ll take a closer look at the provided project file when I get the opportunity but will plan on decoupling the bundled version if nothing stands out

Once we get things working, we can decide on a final build system 🙂

Okay, I just finished setting up a basic CMake script: https://github.com/Walrus-Tech/MWEdit/pull/35

Are you able to test it? I haven’t set up the CI yet for CMake, I’m looking into the command-line commands now.

It is based off the Meson branch as it needs the source changes. It’s nothing fancy and doesn’t add the extra CMake options that I…[Read more]

Going to try making raspberry cheesecake soon using a modified strawberry cheesecake recipe. Let’s hope it works out!

Picked up the squirrel deck from the Bloomburrow set from Magic the Gathering last month and it’s a pretty fun deck. I’m currently overhauling it, though, to make it more consistent and generally more powerful. I swapped out the included commander Hazel for Chatterfang, also included, which has greatly improved things as it costs three mana…[Read more]

Meson has some form of compatibility with CMake but I haven’t looked into it yet.

Yeah, that’s due to the libraries being 32-bit while the rest is 64-bit. You can use 32-bit code in 64-bit programs but it can have issues if one isn’t careful. It’s generally best to use the same architecture 🙂

I’m leaning towards ResIL myself as DevIL is no…[Read more]

I’m actually not sure how they built the libraries since they didn’t provide any documentation on it. From the looks of things, they intended the build setup to be immutable and assumed 32-bit, which was a bit unusual in 2020. For context, I dropped 32-bit support for BOSS back around 2015 or so. Hopefully they respond to my email 🙂

For…[Read more]

Linux shouldn’t be affecting the build as the CI is set to run Windows Server 2025

Yep, those are the ones. The issue lies with the shared library .lib files. Yeah, will try switching to ResIL at some point. We’ll want to make sure everything is updated, anyways. I don’t know if Meson has an option to do this (will check later) but CMake has a command to download files, which could be helpful.

Unfortunately, I no longer have a…[Read more]

Okay, I’ve reached out to NimrodPSI. If they’re unable to assist, I’ll go ahead and work on a CMake script so that we can at least rule that out of the equation.
