To easily force a rebuild of a dependency the nuke script will remove all build
artifacts for a specific dependency from the dependency build folder. This includes
- The Debug and Release build folder of the dependency
- The Debug and Release staging output folder of the dependency
- The harvest output folder of the dependency
For dependencies that have a long dependency chain like embree, shaderc and
python extra convenience scripts are added that nuke the additional deps that
need to be removed to obtain a fully clean build.
These scripts have not been updated in years, and locally i had better
versions of them. This commit updates them to the latest i had locally
this should hopefully lower the barrier to building the dependencies by
other developers as all that is needed is a fresh VM with a clean
windows install.
Removed:
buildall.cmd - not useful, we no longer build for 2 vs versions
and 2 architectures , removed
nuke.cmd - same, may come back in the future in some form
New:
vmprep.cmd.txt - This preps a clean windows vm with the correct
versions of visual studio/cuda/git/hip/meson to build all dependencies.
this should only and ever be run on a clean install of windows, do not
under any circumstances run this on a developer workstation.
to prevent people from doing this anyhow this script has a .txt
extension so it cannot be accidentally executed, instructions on how to
run this script are this file.
vmbuild.cmd.txt - Helper build script, vmprep will provision the build
machine with this script.
vsconfig_2019 - installer script for visual studio 2019 to select the
workloads we require.
Note these are intended for platform maintainers, we do not intend to
support users making their own builds with these. For that precompiled
libraries from lib/ should be used.
Implemented by Martijn Berger, Ray Molenkamp and Brecht Van Lommel.
