# What is this?
|
||||
|
||||
This is an experimental rewrite of the host application in pure C using the MinGW toolchain.
|
||||
|
||||
# Why make this?
|
||||
|
||||
Several reasons:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The client is written in C and I would like to unify the project's language
|
||||
2. The host is currently hard to build using MinGW and is very Windows specific
|
||||
3. The host is a jumbled mess of code from all the experimentation going on
|
||||
4. I would eventually like to be able to port this to run on Linux guests
|
||||
|
||||
# Why C and not C++ (or some other language)
|
||||
|
||||
Beacuse I like C and for this project believe that C++ is overkill
|
||||
|
||||
# When will it be ready?
|
||||
|
||||
No idea
|
||||
|
||||
# Will it replace the C++ host?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, but only when it is feature complete.
|
||||
|
||||
# Why doesn't this use CMake?
|
||||
|
||||
Because win-builds doesn't distribute it, so to make it easy for everyone to compile we do not require it.
|
||||
|
||||
# How do I build it?
|
||||
|
||||
Don't ask if you can't figure it out, this code is the very definition of experiemental and incomplete and should not be in use yet.
