The "DRM_SURFACELESS" EGL platform was invented when we were adding the
wayland backend to Clutter but in the end we added a dedicated backend
instead of extending the EGL backend so actually the platform name isn't
used.
This backend hasn't been used for years now and so because it is
untested code and almost certainly doesn't work any more it would be a
burdon to continue trying to maintain it. Considering that we are now
looking at moving OpenGL window system integration code down from
Clutter backends into Cogl that will be easier if we don't have to
consider this backend.
This makes it possible to build Clutter against a standalone build of
Cogl instead of having the Clutter build traverse into the clutter/cogl
subdirectory.
This adds an autogen.sh, configure.ac and build/autotool files etc under
clutter/cogl and makes some corresponding Makefile.am changes that make
it possible to build and install Cogl as a standalone library.
Some notable things about this are:
A standalone installation of Cogl installs 3 pkg-config files;
cogl-1.0.pc, cogl-gl-1.0.pc and cogl-2.0.pc. The second is only for
compatibility with what clutter installed though I'm not sure that
anything uses it so maybe we could remove it. cogl-1.0.pc is what
Clutter would use if it were updated to build against a standalone cogl
library. cogl-2.0.pc is what you would use if you were writing a
standalone Cogl application.
A standalone installation results in two libraries currently, libcogl.so
and libcogl-pango.so. Notably we don't include a major number in the
sonames because libcogl supports two major API versions; 1.x as used by
Clutter and the experimental 2.x API for standalone applications.
Parallel installation of later versions e.g. 3.x and beyond will be
supportable either with new sonames or if we can maintain ABI then we'll
continue to share libcogl.so.
The headers are similarly not installed into a directory with a major
version number since the same headers are shared to export the 1.x and
2.x APIs (The only difference is that cogl-2.0.pc ensures that
-DCOGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API is used). Parallel installation of
later versions is not precluded though since we can either continue
sharing or later add a major version suffix.
This migrates all the GLX window system code down from the Clutter
backend code into a Cogl winsys. Moving OpenGL window system binding
code down from Clutter into Cogl is the biggest blocker to having Cogl
become a standalone 3D graphics library, so this is an important step in
that direction.
On win32, test scripts are created with a .exe extension.
Under mingw, a .exe script is launched in 16 bit compatibility mode (through
ntvdm), and so it just does not run.

GCC by default allows pointer arithmetic on void* pointers and treats
them as having a size of 1 byte. This is non-standard behaviour and
causes errors on some compilers so we should try to avoid
it. -Wpointer-arith warns about these cases.
We use the micro version for distinguishing released tarballs and Git
builds; the maintainer compiler flags should be enabled for the latter,
and not just for unstable cycles, since it makes sense to have extra
warning flags even on stable cycles.
We also want to allow people to turn on -Werror on demand, so let's add
a third option to --enable-maintainer-flags.
Since we have a decent XI1 and XI2 implementation, now, we should turn
the support for XInput on by default.
The actual implementation to be used at run-time is still left to be
decided by the user.
This is a lump commit that is fairly difficult to break down without
either breaking bisecting or breaking the test cases.
The new design for handling X11 event translation works this way:
- ClutterBackend::translate_event() has been added as the central
point used by a ClutterBackend implementation to translate a
native event into a ClutterEvent;
- ClutterEventTranslator is a private interface that should be
implemented by backend-specific objects, like stage
implementations and ClutterDeviceManager sub-classes, and
allows dealing with class-specific event translation;
- ClutterStageX11 implements EventTranslator, and deals with the
stage-relative X11 events coming from the X11 event source;
- ClutterStageGLX overrides EventTranslator, in order to
deal with the INTEL_GLX_swap_event extension, and it chains up
to the X11 default implementation;
- ClutterDeviceManagerX11 has been split into two separate classes,
one that deals with core and (optionally) XI1 events, and the
other that deals with XI2 events; the selection is done at run-time,
since the core+XI1 and XI2 mechanisms are mutually exclusive.
All the other backends we officially support still use their own
custom event source and translation function, but the end goal is to
migrate them to the translate_event() virtual function, and have the
event source be a shared part of Clutter core.
Clutter has some platform-specific API that is accessible only if the
right backend has been compiled in. Third party applications that wish
to be portable across backends might want to use defines and other
pre-processor tricks to determine header inclusion and API usage.
While Clutter has an internal set of symbols it can use, third party
applications don't have the luxury of being able to access the config.h
generated by Clutter's configure script.
For this reason, Clutter should install a configuration header with a
series of namespaced defines that can be picked up by applications and
other third party code.
The ffs function is defined in C99 so if we want to use it in Cogl we
need to provide a fallback for MSVC. This adds a configure check for
the function and then a fallback using a while loop if it is not
available.

Keeping the Cogl 2.0 API reference in the build is getting far more
troublesome than it's worth.
It's breaking distcheck far too often, and it makes it impossible to
rebuild the build environment from tarballs - which is something that
some distributions (namely: the Debian-based ones, but not limited to
them) do in order to change build scripts using their own rules.
The check-news option in configure.ac conflicts with the idea of using a
buildbot to do a distcheck.
Since we're doing some validation on the state of the build during the
release-check phase we should add the NEWS file check there.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2468
Not tested (but checked that it compiles).
There's no reason to only enable the check for the cex100. Hopefully
should work.
We make sure not to enable both the evdev and the tslib backend at the
same time as the DeviceManager is a singleton and we can't have both
subclasses at the same time for now.
This backend is a event backend that can be enabled for EGL (for now).
It uses udev (gudev) to query input devices on a linux system, listens to
keyboard events from input devices and xkbcommon to translate raw key
codes into key keysyms.
This commit only supports key events, more to follow.
Building the API reference for Cogl 2.0 is fairly confusing: the API
itself is experimental and for internal use only -- though we want
feedback for it.
Let's build the API reference only when Clutter is configured with a
specific configure switch, so that people that wish to give feedback on
the API and its documentation can do it.
So we can keep track of the experimental progress of Cogl 2.0 features
this adds a standalone Cogl 2.0 Reference Manual which doesn't cover
the deprecated 1.x symbols and removes the need for a "Cogl
experimental API" chapter since those sections now make up the main
table of contents.
By defining COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API in config.h we can ensure
that all internal clutter and cogl code can use the Cogl 2.0 API and by
not using AM_CPPFLAGS we avoid having other tools such as glib-mkenums
and the gir-scanner from inadvertently using the define also.
The profiling support was broken - probably during the restructuring of
the build environment, but I'm too lazy to bisect that.
The fix is trivial, and everything works as it should.
Previously in the tests/tools directory we build a disable-npots
library which was used as an LD_PRELOAD to trick Cogl in to thinking
there is no NPOT texture extension. This is a little awkward to use so
it seems much simpler to just define a COGL_DEBUG option to disable
npot textures.
CLUTTER_EGL_BACKEND is used to define a special EGL native backend to
use and was introduced for the CEX100 EGL backend. Unfortunately
CLUTTER_EGL_BACKEND was defined to "cex100" for eglnative, which is
obviously wrong.
The paches defines the right values for CLUTTER_EGL_BACKEND for the
eglnative and cex100 flavours.
Don't generate both bz2 and gz tarballs: we only use the former anyway,
and the latter just adds time for distcheck to complete.
The gz tarball will be generated by the remote installation scripts when
publishing the release.
The internal copy of JSON-GLib was meant to go away right after the 1.0
release, given that JSON-GLib was still young and relatively unknown.
Nowadays, many projects started depending on this little library, and
distributions ship it and keep it up to date.
Keeping a copy of JSON-GLib means keeping it up to date; unfortunately,
this would also imply updating the code not just for the API but for the
internal implementations.
Starting with the 1.2 release, Clutter preferably dependend on the
system copy; with the 1.4 release we stopped falling back automatically.
The 1.6 cycle finally removes the internal copy and requires a copy of
JSON-GLib installed on the target system in order to compile Clutter.
*** WARNING: THIS COMMIT CHANGES THE BUILD ***
Do not recurse into the backend directories to build private, internal
libraries.
We only recurse from clutter/ into the cogl sub-directory; from there,
we don't recurse any further. All the backend-specific code in Cogl and
Clutter is compiled conditionally depending on the macros defined by the
configure script.
We still recurse from the top-level directory into doc, clutter and
tests, because gtk-doc and tests do not deal nicely with non-recursive
layouts.
This change makes Clutter compile slightly faster, and cleans up the
build system, especially when dealing with introspection data.
Ideally, we also want to make Cogl part of the top-level build, so that
we can finally drop the sed trick to change the shared library from the
GIR before compiling it.
Currently disabled:
‣ OSX backend
‣ Fruity backend
Currently enabled but untested:
‣ EGL backend
‣ Windows backend
When building with --enable-profile we now depend on the uprof-0.3
developer release which brings a few improvements:
» It lets us "fix" how we initialize uprof so that instead of using a shared
object constructor/destructor (which was a hack used when first adding
uprof support to Clutter) we can now initialize as part of clutter's
normal initialization code. As a side note though, I found that the way
Clutter initializes has some quite serious problems whenever it
involves GOptionGroups. It is not able to guarantee the initialization
of dependencies like uprof and Cogl. For this reason we still use the
contructor/destructor approach to initialize uprof in Cogl.
» uprof-0.3 provides a better API for adding custom columns when reporting
timer and counter statistics which lets us remove quite a lot of manual
report generation code in clutter-profile.c.
» uprof-0.3 provides a shared context for tracking mainloop timer
statistics. This means any mainloop based library following the same
"Mainloop" timer naming convention can use the shared context and no
matter who ends up owning the final mainloop the statistics will always
be in the same place. This allows profiling of Clutter with an
external mainloop such as with the Mutter compositor.
» uprof-0.3 can export statistics over dbus and comes with an ncurses
based ui to vizualize timer and counter stats live.
The latest version of uprof can be cloned from:
git://github.com/rib/UProf.git
Let's try to keep Cogl's build as non-recursive as possible, in the hope
that one day we'll be able to make it fully non-recursive along with the
rest of Clutter.
This requires some autotools magic when setting up the environment
through autogen.sh, because autoreconf does not do the right thing
by default.
The correct order for setting up localization is:
‣ autopoint
‣ aclocal
‣ ...
otherwise aclocal will copy the system's gettext.m4 instead of honouring
the version we specified with AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION in configure.ac.
Some debugging tools might require full visibility for the Clutter
symbols; for this reason, and to match what the Clutter dependencies
already allow, we should provide a configure switch to disable linking
with the -Bsymbolic flag.

* Use new introspection --include-uninstalled API since we don't want
to try to find the clutter-1.0.pc file before it's installed.
* Use --pkg-export for Clutter-1.0.gir, since we want the .gir file to
contain the associated pkg-config file.
* Drop the use of --pkg for dependencies; those come from the associated
.gir files. (Actually, --pkg is almost never needed)
* Add --quiet

Intel CE3100 and CE4100 have several planes (framebuffers) and a
hardware blender to blend the planes togeteher to produce the final
image.
clutter_cex100_set_plane() lets you configure which framebuffer clutter
will use for its rendering.
Intel CE3100 and CE4100 SoCs are designed for TVs. They have separate
framebuffers that are blended together by a piece of hardware to make
the final output. The library that allows you to initialize and
configure those planes is called GDL. A EGL GDL winsys can then be
use with those planes as NativeWindowType to select which plane to use.
This patch adds a new ClutterBackendCex100 backend that can be
selected at compile time with the new --with-flavour=cex100 option.
--quiet has been added to g-ir-scanner in the 0.9.1 cycle. We really
want to be able to compile clutter with 0.6.14 to be able to reuse
gir files that are distributed in current distributions.
Use the INTROSPECTION_SCANNER_ARGS (previously unused) variable to
convey --quiet when necessary.

DRM is available on more platforms than Linux (e.g. kFreeBSD), but
Clutter currently FTBFS there because of not being an alternative to
the __linux__ code (where it should be HAVE_DRM).
Instead of copying the DRM data structures, we should use libdrm when
falling back to directly requesting to wait for the vblank.

In 7fae8ac051 the two cogl-defines.h files from GLES and GL were
unified. However this missed out the COGL_HAS_GLES[12] defines from
GLES. The configure.ac still made an AC_SUBST for the right version
but the replacement was never put in any headers. This fixes it so
that instead of directly calling AC_SUBST the value is now put into a
variable which later gets added to COGL_DEFINES so that it will end up
in cogl-defines.h
There was an initializer for the COGL_DEFINES variable which sets it
to the empty value before it is filled in. The name of the variable
wasn't spelt right so it wouldn't work properly. This doesn't really
matter because it would default to empty anyway.
