( @Akien : this PR is for current HEAD only, not to be cherry-picked for 2.1.1 )
this is manual revertion of #6501 which introduced a bug that prevented
scons from detecting Mingw under Windows when MSVC was installed.
(thanks to @vnen for finding this)
AND
it fixes the actual bug that prevented scons from detecting MSVC standalone
compiler ( a confusions between ``VSINSTALLDIR`` and ``VCINSTALLDIR`` )
The freeware Standalone MSVC C++ Build Tools are available here :
http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
Not fully happy about the way this one interacts with the various
platforms. Maybe the platform_config.h should be generated by the
SCsub instead of passing a define just to know where is the header.
Under Windows, Scons is now capable of detecting and compiling with
standalone MSVC compilers (aka "Visual C++ Build Tools").
http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
Tried with version 2015, and native x86 and x64 compilers under
Windows 10 pro 64 and Windows 8.1 64, with the default Win8 SDK
provided by the "Visual C++ Build Tools" web-installer.
Follow the same compiling instructions than for compiling with Visual
Studio, except that Visual Studio is no more required.
KNOWN ISSUES :
- ``methods.detect_visual_c_compiler_version()`` will emit a warning message
on computers where the ``VSINSTALLDIR`` environement variable is not present.
But it should compile just fine and still automatically detects the 32 or
64 bits according to the compiler you picked.
TODO :
- eventually, update ``platform/winrt/dectet.py`` with function
``methods.msvc_is_detected()`` and try to compile winrt/UWP with
these standalone compilers (if you did not select Win10 SDK when
installing the standalone tools, you can run it again).
- update doc to make users aware of "Visual C++ Build Tools" aka
"stadalone MSVC".
- eventually, update ``methods.detect_visual_c_compiler_version()``
- Fix buildsystem for WinRT/UWP platform.
- Add audio driver and joystick mapping for WinRT.
- Enable thread class for WinRT.
- Refactor MSVC compiler architecture detection to methods.py, so it can
be used by Windows and WinRT.
For reference, when you include a Windows header (be it directly windows.h or something that includes it)
put it at the end of the includes. it seems I forgot.
This reverts commit 85a5290ee8.
The patch itself is good and it could maybe be readded in the future,
but right now Microsoft forced its Windows 10 "update" on people with older
Intel HD Graphics 3000 IGP without ensuring that they can ship proper drivers,
and such users seem to get Godot crashing due to this patch. Sorry :(
Closes#5452.
When moving or resizing the window, Windows spins up a seperate event-loop, effectively blocking the normal one.
To work around this, we're starting a timer that will continue sending WM_TIMER messages which we can use to keep the mainloop running.
fixes#4695
