Development / Re: Unified building

After All, keeping a CMake-project up-to-date helps to
keep mineserver portable.

Yes, most of you probably use VS, But _which version_
And, the Unix-Guys?

I don't like CMake that much, but it is the best portable
compromise, I think.

Development / Unified building

« on: January 14, 2011, 03:48:08 pm »

Dear all,

currently, there are three building systems:

• Visual Studio
• Makefile
• CMake

Interestingly, the last one is capable of generating the both above.
(see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/395169/using-cmake-to-generate-visual-studio-c-project-files)

Please, is it possible to focus on one, preferably a portable, build system?

so Long,

Development / Re: x86-64 Builds

« on: December 14, 2010, 12:16:13 pm »

On my OS X, mineserver gets compiled as x86_64 by default and
I haven't noticed any problems.

A Question:
What is the problem with uintXX?
Did you mean uintXX_t like in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stdint.h (or its C++ equivalent cstdint)?
  FWIW, I like size_t loop variables.

Development / Commandline-only interface, --help argv

« on: December 14, 2010, 12:09:47 pm »

Hi,

I'd like to propose two functionalities:

1) While the NCurses gui is nice, I'd like to use a command-line (i.e., stdout)
    only version. This is useful when using tools like daemontools, that keep
    programs running as daemons and can take care of logging.

2) It is common to have a --help switch for the basic usage of a tool,
    hence, having a --help switch would greatly improve the `first-run-experience`.
