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.

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.
