What's that AppVeyor stuff btw? Tells me something about MSBuild and Visual Studio – we're on Linux here, aren't we?!
Sorry for the Appveyor confusion (now off). I registered for it to make it build for Cygwin , but I didn't realise that it was enabled be default without having it configured properly. I spent quite a while to figure out how to cross-compile for Cygwin on a Linux host (and failed), then I realised that Appveyor has Cygwin.
My short-term plans are to supply auto-generated binary builds for often-requested platforms Linux/x86, Linux/armhf (Raspi), Cygwin via the deployment possibilites of Travis CI and the likes.
So … what do you think about this?
Yes, might be a good thing too keep vsim out of a normal build. For vclient, is don't see any advantages, as it's currently a cheap build without new dependencies.
I do not see a real advantage. The build is so fast and the code is so small that it is not really worth it. But just my opinion.
One should add these switches to INSTALL.md (or somewhere else) that it is documented ...
Good point, is documented now.
This makes building of the
vsim
andvclient
helper programs optional (vclient
is built by default,vsim
not – this seems to be some tool only for development, isn't it?)Also, compilation of the manpages can be switched on and off now (so that somebody having the Docutils installed but not wanting the manpages won't get them).
Can be used as follows:
would e. g. trigger the
vsim
program to be compiled along withvcontrold
andvclient
, but not the manpages.
