Complete overhaul of build system #141

Closed Quaker762 closed 5 years ago

Quaker762 commented 5 years ago

Build system has been overhauled, especially for systems that do NOT have a package manager installed (i.e Windows). The libs folder contains the most up to date versions of libraries we are using, which are known to be WORKING. This way (at least for Windows builds), we control versioning of our dependencies much better instead of having the user have to fetch them. The premake5 file also takes into account which system the user is on, meaning we can link linux versions of the libraries, as WELL as windows versions.

Premake is also much less of a fuck around, and the simple .lua script is very simple to modify and understand.

This is only temporary until @z33ky can start working on a meson build system. Until then, this should keep Windows and Linux users satisfied and straight into programming without having to fuck around with finding dependencies online.

Going to speedy merge this now until we have a better build system :) This will work for anyone using mingw-w64 8.1.0 rev0
