* The bootstrap process will pick up on local toolchains such
as clang and use them instead of the correct gcc cross-tools.
* This limits environmental factors which can break bootstrap.
Change-Id: Iacdd2a44cf26e18f838c9251fb9eddfbcb12565e
* This also includes the package tool for easy use of installing
dependencies in a container.
* Pre-built docker images are also available at
https://hub.docker.com/r/haiku/cross-compiler/
This reverts commit 945566ff43.
As discussed on the mailing lists and with Humdinger off-list:
* The general design concensus tends slightly towards DejaVu, as metrics
of DejaVu look much better (DejaVu 12 and Noto 13 are roughly the same size,
but Noto has much wider margins with that)
* While Noto does have a wider set of fonts with support for lots of
different languages, DejaVu actually has built-in support for more
Unicode languages (the default Noto has, as far as I can tell, only
Latin/Greek/Cyrillic [2416 glyphs], while DejaVu also has Armenian, Georgian,
and a few other scripts too [5119 glyphs].)
* The worse rendering of DejaVu appears to have been somewhat rectified by
disabling the average-based subpixel filter in app_server.
Qt Creator now has a "generic project" mode, in which it just acts
as an auto-completing code editor. I tried using it on the entire
Haiku project at once, but it's just too much for Qt Creator to handle.
So instead, I created a script which generates project files for
any given directory in the tree, as well as sets up the proper include
directories. The project files themselves are .gitignore'd; use the script
to create them.
Works on Haiku. Did not test on Linux with a crosstools setup; but
it should work there too.
This needs the 'montage' command from ImageMagick.
(it will install it with pkgman if missing)
It first uses 'translate' to convert Icon-O-Matic files to PNG,
then makes a montage with the icon titles.
Run it from the top source folder under Haiku, it might take a while.
* Avoids highlighting some matches when inside C++ comments
* Add operators << and >>
* Automatic initialization when opening Vim in the Haiku source
directory (if you use the same directory layout as me)
* Matches are highlighted in red, rather than reusing the "Search" match
group. You can pick another color by editing the "highlight Style"
definition.
Improvements are still welcome.
This needs to be run under haiku as it uses the package tool. It can be
used to remove the _bootstrap tagging from bootstrap packages and then
upload them to the repos as normal packages. The goal is to make
non-bootstrap builds work even for archs where the bootstrap isn't
working yet.
Packages built that way should be replaced as soon as better ones are
obtained by the proper bootstrapping process.
