What is this?
This is an experimental rewrite of the host application in pure C using the MinGW toolchain.
Why make this?
Several reasons:
- The client is written in C and I would like to unify the project's language
- The host is currently hard to build using MinGW and is very Windows specific
- The host is a jumbled mess of code from all the experimentation going on
- 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?
It does now...
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.
Hint:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ..
make
