While it may be smarter to move to a different build system altogether,
it is also a *lot* more work. This was a fairly minor syntax refresh to
get nmake working with our existing Makefile system. This is now no
longer compatible with Borland make, so you will need to use `nmake` to
build.
The presence of NMAKE.md informs builds systems that nmake should be
used instead of make.
We no longer need to backup debug files as they are saved to the symbol
store during a release build. This reduces the amount of storage
required for a release build and should speed up the build also.
Also fixes the broken build where backup had not been updated for the
new consistent build paths.
Move to all projects using bin/ and obj/ for outputs, and
cleanup all Makefiles and project files accordingly. Remove
some obsolete projects along the way. Cleanup .gitignore
also.
Fixes#5166.
This introduces versioned management of sentry.dll for Keyman for
Windows, Keyman Engine and Keyman Developer. As sentry.dll's ABI is not
backwardly compatible, we have to maintain independent copies of each
DLL for each app.
sentry.dll (or sentry.x64.dll for x64 apps) will be found in the
sentry-0.4.9 folder relative to the running process, except when running
from within the keyman repo tree (based on presence of KEYMAN_ROOT env
var). In those cases, the windows/src/ext/sentry sentry.dll will be
used, allowing us to test new debug time sentry DLLs easily.
A little bit of cleanup and consolidation was also done in the
KeymanPaths.pas unit.
Fixes#519.
I have removed these .cfg, .dof, and .bdsproj files from the primary
projects in the Windows source. There is some ambiguity as to whether
.cfg files are used by the command line compiler (I checked with procmon
and they *are* read by dcc32.exe), so we will need to make sure that
no adverse changes have been made by this. In theory at least, the
.dproj data trumps .cfg data -- and all the projects in question have
a .dproj file -- so this should be a safe cleanup.
I have opted not to touch the /buildutils, /ext, /support and
/test folders at this point.
Fixes#4447.
Fixes#4222.
The symptoms for these two issues are related: the language associations
change and keyboards stop functioning correctly. The issue is described
in detail in #4447.
Although this fix should be considered 'experimental', we should
probably include it in the release of 14.0, because it fixes a
longstanding issue with Keyman and Windows languages.
Fixes#4003.
This addresses the majority of locations where we use the name "Keyman
Desktop" in code. There will be some filenames and paths that do not
change at this point -- particularly at a source level. For now, the
focus is on the user interface changes.
While making these changes, I also made the VERSION and MANIFEST
resources more consistent.
Fixes#3831.
This fixes both issues reported in the bug (dproj changes ensure
separate .tds, and Makefile changes fix order of execution so that
dbg is generated after sentryprep's cleanup).
This is the first half of a two-part update to Keyman for Windows. There
are two significant changes here. These changes apply to
keyman32/keyman64, as well as kmtip/kmtip64, but will refer to the
32-bit equivalents for simplicity:
1. Instead of using `GetProcAddress` to connect to keyman32.dll, we
now have an import library connection. This removes one particularly
suspect piece of architecture for Keyman, as using `GetProcAddress`
could lead to a race condition, where keyman32.dll is unloaded after
that function is called but before we use the handle. This makes the
kmtip.dll build dependent on keyman32.dll; loading kmtip.dll (by
selecting a Keyman input method) also loads keyman32.dll.
2. It's not enough (yet) to load kmtip.dll. We also need to be running
keyman.exe itself, due to global hooks that we still require (it may
be possible, one day, to avoid these, but it doesn't look very
hopeful). To that end, kmtip calls new function `TIPIsKeymanRunning`
to check whether keyman32.dll is initialised (and hence keyman.exe
has initialised it). Then, if keyman.exe is not running, it issues an
event to the Windows Event Log, which we will pick up with a
scheduled task in the next PR.
The first part of this is an architectural change which may lead to some
change in behaviours, as keyman32.dll now may not be unloaded from a
process when keyman.exe exits, due to the lock that kmtip.dll now has on
it. It will be important to test this (@MakaraSok) by running through
various startup and shutdown scenarios. In my initial testing, I found
that there were some situations after restarting keyman.exe where I
needed to switch in and out of the Keyman TIP, but those were not all
critical.
This change also lays groundwork for an eventual ability to run the
Keyman input method without keyman.exe running, which will be helpful
e.g. on login screen, even if missing certain additional functionality
such as the serialised input queue.
While it might be nice to add the tag to versions in filenames, this
creates a lot of work on the website where we make some filename
assumptions. So, this PR winds that detail of filename changes back,
and renames copydev.in to download.in to make it consistent with the
other download.in files.
Release build executables should have 3 component version numbers with
the version tag appended, e.g. keymandesktop-14.0.155-alpha-local.exe.
Coming later, rename keymandesktop-version.exe to keyman-version.exe.
Moves all version construction to use VERSION.md and
TIER.md and reduces intermediate file usage, so we can
present sensible versions across the project.
