• Hello everyone,

    We're happy to announce that our forum is back online! We needed to take some time off to discuss and decide on how to handle sensitive topics in our community.

    The team has posted an in-depth comment regarding a recent incident and our stance on politics and sexuality in our forum. We also added a dedicated paragraph about this in the forum guidelines. This is part of our commitment to maintain a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our users. Your understanding and continued support in building a creative and respectful community are highly appreciated.

On Git the hub development branch. An alteration to the WinNT builder script's default parameters to menu option to show on start up breaks the option to do automated and deploy.
 
@dawlane Ok. I was not aware of that. Sorry! Is there a way of safely setting showmenu to true as default?

Not without making changes to both how the menu is triggered and the command line that's triggered to re-run the script after the git archive is copied. And as both the power shell version and bash version are meant to work near enough with similar options, it would have to be done twice and all the build documentation updated.

The scripts were written to work the same as the old rebuild all version: Install the compiler and Qt SDK, then just type .\builder.ps1 or ./builder.sh and let it run. The menu is there to give the option to select the tool to build once any changes where made to those tools, speeds up development when you have Visual Studio Code installed and a shell terminal running. At some point I'll add an extra command line option to select the tool to build. Then at some point, the IDE can call the script to build the tools directly.

Thank you.
There is a pull request where I've now added a command line option to build tools by name, with the option to build either transcc from the C++ sources, or the Cerberus transcc source file. See the documentation in the src/docs directory for the tool options.
 
@dawlane I like that option to build transcc from cerberus code directly. It doesn't change the C++ source used for the other option, right?

Correct. The C++ source code is never touched, so if the transcc sources get broken there is a way to get a working transcc to fix it.
Currently the C++ files generated from building transcc.cxs are cleaned up. I'll probably do changes to the scripts where it does a time/date back up of the previously generated C++ files, and add a submenu/option to select and restore from any previous C++ files that have been saved.
