bootil's Issues

"LINK : fatal error LNK1181" when compiling with bootil

Hello,
I used bootil to compile gmad as stated here
However, I got a problem when compiling gmad.sln with msbuild:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: unable to read input file 'bootil_
static.lib' [C:\Users\User\dir\gmad-master-new\GMad
.vcxproj]

I looked in the bootil directory and cannot find such file. Is it missing, or did I specified something I should have not ?

delete this sorry

wrong repo

Cannot compile under - Linux - GCC 6.3.0 20170519

This is the error spat out by the compiler:
../../../src/Bootil/Platform/Platform_LINUX.cpp: In function ‘void Bootil::Platform::StartProcess(const BString&, bool)’: ../../../src/Bootil/Platform/Platform_LINUX.cpp:224:12: error: ‘wait’ was not declared in this scope { wait(); }

Upgrade Bootil to new C++ standard(s)

As C++17 (C++1z) is getting closer I thought maybe it's time to get at least up to C++11 and C++14 standards...

Doing so not only reduces platform specific code, it also reduces dependencies and therefore should make the end result smaller and faster, not to mention compiler optimisations.

One example is C++11's thread class, so far the only thing I missed on that would be setting a thread name, which is rather easy to deliver trough std::thread::native_handle() (not that Bootil supported that in the first place)

Another example would be the filesystem TS (based on boost's one) that "most modern" compilers include:
GCC/G++
MSVC/VC++

Note: It seems that clang hasn't started on the TS yet (much to my surprise, one could include the boost fs lib for this case): http://libcxx.llvm.org/ts1z_status.html

I guess the first step would be to identify places that can be improved using the new standards (ex. Bootil/Threads) and create a TaskList in here

How to run

Failed to compile src/3rdParty/happyhttp/happyhttp.cpp on linux

I can't compile bootil on Ubuntu 14.04 with the following steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/garrynewman/bootil
2. cd bootil/projects
3. premake4 gmake
4. cd linux/gmake
5. make fails with output

$ make

Edit: I've tried updating src/3rdParty/happyhttp to the latest version on github, compiling successfully builds happyhttp and a couple other .cpp files, but now fails at src/Bootil/Network/Socket.cpp with:

$ make
...
../../../src/Bootil/Network/Socket.cpp: In member function ‘void Bootil::Network::Socket::Close(const char*)’:
../../../src/Bootil/Network/Socket.cpp:165:28: error: ‘close’ was not declared in this scope
     closesocket( m_pSocket );

Clarify source code license

I'd like to add Bootil to a package manager (in order to use it as a dependency for gmad, in order to automate building of Workshop addons, ...), and that requires listing the source code license. The only license info with this repository is "feel free to steal :)". Is that supposed to imply that it's public domain, or just redistributable without attribution?
