[ros-dev] Static - dynamic generation of reactos.dff
Hi reactos developers. As many of you know, the cmake branch development is going along and is the occasion of many innovations in the way reactos is built. One of this way is the reactos.dff file. Currently, it is a static file, meaning that each time you want to add a module to reactos, you have to edit this file. What I propose is to create this file dynamically, when parsing the build system file. Adding a reactos module twould then be as simple as (!) creating a new build file for this module. For those who are concerned about slipstreaming or optional files like wallpapers or whatever hacking they do with the current reactos.dff, it will be as easy as before. There will be a file to edit, which will be the "static" part of it. Whatever you'll write in this file will be written back to reactos.dff, so there is no need to worry about that. What do you think? Regards. Jérôme. PS : The patch is there. It waits for your approval :-) ___ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev@reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev

how does this work for rosapps and other such optional inclusions? 2010/10/30 Jérôme Gardou > Hi reactos developers. > > As many of you know, the cmake branch development is going along and is the > occasion of many innovations in the way reactos is built. > > One of this way is the reactos.dff file.
