Release tarball #398

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be nice if there would be a release with Makefiles already generated. 
I would like to integrate this into the mxe cross compile toolchain. For this I 
need a release (even if this is a beta or unstable release) tarball.

ANGLE currently targets Windows, using the Visual Studio compiler. We generate 
the Visual Studio project files from GYP files and keep those in the repository 
as well. We can't easily accommodate maintaining other compile toolchains as we 
would frequently break them (we even break Visual Studio compilation every now 
and then).

Providing Release tarballs is also a difficult proposition because we have very 
short development cycles. You may want to pull the code from the chrome_mXX 
branches for greatest robustness. The GYP files should allow you to generate 
the project files of your liking.

Note that ANGLE is planned to become cross-platform and this will result in 
more toolchains being supported and maintained by our team. But until then I 
don't think there's anything we can realistically do without significantly 
complicating our workflow.
