The whole class was a bad idea, why create something that's 99% similar
to another application and has just one platform-specific workaround? Of
course it resulted in this code being completely untested and not even
built anywhere, because it served a tiny insignificant use case.
To avoid losing all the code, I did my best in attempting to merge this
into the WindowlessEglApplication. But since, again, EGL isn't
really used on any Windows platform, I can't even say it builds
properly. Maybe not even the original code built.
Similar to the change done in Corrade, see the commit for details:
878624ac36
Wow, this is probably the most backwards-compatibility code I've ever
written. Can't wait until I can drop all that.
It limits the support for CMake 3.12+, but it's much less verbose and I
don't expect people to use ancient CMake versions with IDEs like Xcode
or VS anyway, so this should be fine.
Similar change was done for applications long ago. They're built always
as static (as they're tiny) and original expectation was that they would
get linked just to the final executable and not any shared library, thus
not needing the -fPIC. But real-world experience was different, so I
added that. The same needs to be done for (also static) context
libraries, yet somehow I forgot until now.
Otherwise, in case of SDL and GLFW, where we don't really know the DLL
name, it would create a file named `bin` instead of copying into a newly
created bin/ directory if it doesn't exist yet. That happens in case of
a static build, where there are no DLLs and thus
CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY gets never created.
Deprecated for 2018.04, it's been almost a year since. Whoever is using
Magnum regularly updated already, and who not can always upgrade
gradually (2018.02, 2018.04, 2018.10, 2019.01 etc.).
This is already done in the FindMagnum module for both, but not in the
source tree -- for SDL2 it was done in the FindSDL2 module (seems a
strange place) and for GLFW nowhere. To make things consistent, I'm
doing that in the Platform CMakeLists now and removed it from FindSDL2.
Hopefully this doesn't break anyone's workflow (static builds of
SDL2/GLFW?). In that case we would need to re-add it to the Find
modules as well.
I'm not really sure if the extra work and link dependencies are worth
the warning, but since I *need* to do something similar for Windows, why
not have it here as well.
This is quite complex, actually. The end goal is: when I request an
800x600 window, it should create a window of the same physical size as
an 800x600 window would have on a system default DPI. After that, the
actual window size (for events), framebuffer size and DPI scaling value
(to correctly scale the contents relative to window size) are
platform-dependent.
On macOS and iOS, the DPI scaling is done simply by having the
framebuffer twice the size while the window size (for events) remains
the same. Easy to support.
On Linux, a non-DPI-aware app is simply having a really tiny window. The
worst behavior of all systems. Next to that, SDL_GetDisplayDPI() returns
physical DPI, which is quite useless as the value is usually coming from
Xorg display autodetection and is usually just 96, unless one goes extra
lengths and supplies a correct value via an xorg.conf. The DE is using a
different, user-configurable value for scaling the visuals and this one
is available through a Xft.dpi property. To get it, we dlopen() self and
dlsym() X11 symbols to get this property. If this fails, it might mean
the app doesn't run on X11 (maybe Wayland, maybe something's just messed
up, who knows) and then we fall back to SDL_GetDisplayDPI(). Which is
usually very wrong, so this is also why I'm implementing two ways to
override this -- either via the app Configuration or via a command-line
/ environment variable.
On Emscripten / HTML5, all that's needed is querying device pixel ratio
and then requesting canvas size scaled by that. The event coordinates
are relative to this size, so there's not much more to handle. Physical
canvas size on the page is controlled via CSS, so no issues with stuff
being too big or too small apply -- in the worst case, things may
be blurry.
On Windows, the DPI scaling is something in-between -- if the app
presents itself as DPI-aware, window size is treated as real pixels (so
one gets really what is asked for, i.e. an 800x600 window on a system
with 240 DPI is maybe four centimeters wide). If not, the window is
upscaled (and blurried) by the compositor. In order to have correct
behavior, I first need to query if the app is DPI-aware and then either
scale the requested size or not (to avoid extra huge windows when the
app is not marked as DPI aware). That will be done in a later commit.
Because these are static, there can be various problems when linking
them later, so better to test that as early as possible.
This was done in the magnum-bootstrap CI setup before, but that's often
too late to discover problems.
* Making use of the builtin support in CMake 3.7, the old toolchain
files are no longer needed and thus removed.
* Switched to Clang and libc++, as it has better C++11 support. GCC
toolchain support will phase out in the following commits.
* Having only one PKGBUILD, building for Android ARM64 now.
* Updated the building docs to reflect this.
