* This allows building when ALSA libs are in a non-standard location. PKG_CONFIG_PATH alone is not enough as the final link fails. Adding this makes the final link succeed.
* The extra LIBS flag for alsa is not needed so removing.
Now it does not try to build if the solution is not found. This way it's
possible to provide a minimal package with includes and libs and make it
build correctly.
Also remove messages from detect.py since it is ran for every platform
target.
Under Windows, Scons is now capable of detecting and compiling with
standalone MSVC compilers (aka "Visual C++ Build Tools").
http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
Tried with version 2015, and native x86 and x64 compilers under
Windows 10 pro 64 and Windows 8.1 64, with the default Win8 SDK
provided by the "Visual C++ Build Tools" web-installer.
Follow the same compiling instructions than for compiling with Visual
Studio, except that Visual Studio is no more required.
KNOWN ISSUES :
- ``methods.detect_visual_c_compiler_version()`` will emit a warning message
on computers where the ``VSINSTALLDIR`` environement variable is not present.
But it should compile just fine and still automatically detects the 32 or
64 bits according to the compiler you picked.
TODO :
- eventually, update ``platform/winrt/dectet.py`` with function
``methods.msvc_is_detected()`` and try to compile winrt/UWP with
these standalone compilers (if you did not select Win10 SDK when
installing the standalone tools, you can run it again).
- update doc to make users aware of "Visual C++ Build Tools" aka
"stadalone MSVC".
- eventually, update ``methods.detect_visual_c_compiler_version()``
Fixes#3881
Vibration support is not optimal yet as it doesn't try to emulate the "weak" and "strong" motor strength,
but just takes the parameter with the highest value for the vibration gain.
- Fix buildsystem for WinRT/UWP platform.
- Add audio driver and joystick mapping for WinRT.
- Enable thread class for WinRT.
- Refactor MSVC compiler architecture detection to methods.py, so it can
be used by Windows and WinRT.
For reference, when you include a Windows header (be it directly windows.h or something that includes it)
put it at the end of the includes. it seems I forgot.
