I was hoping SDL2 would get this functionality eventually, but nope, proper clipboard support is staged for SDL3, which we're not going to see much of for at least a few more months. This will have to do for 98.0. The feature can be disabled at runtime from powder.pref.
Implementation status:
- windows (via winapi): has the most friendly api so of course the implementation is flawless and uses every available optimization >_>
- macos (via cocoa): I'm bad at cocoa so this is only as good as absolutely necessary; TODO: on-demand rendering
- x11 (via xclip): I am NOT implementing icccm2; TODO: remove reliance on external tools
- wayland (via wl-clipboard): oh god wayland oh why, you're almost as bad as x11; TODO: remove reliance on external tools
- android: TODO; is there even a point?
- emscripten: TODO; the tricky bit is that in a browser we can only get clipboard data when the user is giving it to us, so this will require some JS hackery that I'm not mentally prepared for right now; also I think the supported content types are very limited and you can't just define your own
x11 and wayland support are handled by a common backend which delegates clipboard management to xclip-like external programs, such as xclip itself or wl-clipboard, and can load custom command line templates from powder.pref for use with other such programs.
This also requires patching CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID out of powder-res.template.rc because Meson generates a VS config that instructs VS to add its own and this conflicts with ours. TODO: Undo this hack once https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/12472 makes it into a release.
Also start using meson compile in place of ninja in some cases because it integrates better.
The idea is to have the following version information included:
- 1-component save version
- 2-component under the hood but the minor component shouldn't ever change again
- see currentVersionMajor in GameSave.cpp
- 1-component website API version
- again, currently 2-component because that's what the website code expects
- see apiVersion in requestmanager/Common.cpp
- 2-component display version, entirely cosmetic
- exposed as meson options display_version_major and display_version_minor
- see APP_VERSION in Config.template.h
- 1-component business logic version aka build number
- exposed as meson option build_num
- see APP_VERSION in Config.template.h
- variant id aka mod id, tightly coupled with the build number
- exposed as meson option mod_id
- see MOD_ID in Config.template.h
- display and business logic versions repeated for the upstream
- exposed as meson options upstream_version_major, upstream_version_minor, and upstream_build_num
- we'll have to update these alongside display_version_major, display_version_minor, and build_num, but mod owners can just merge our changes
- see UPSTREAM_VERSION in Config.template.h
- update channel, makes sense in the context of the variant (and yes, this would later enable mod snapshots)
- currently not exposed as a meson option but derived from meson options snapshot and mod_id
- see IDENT_RELTYPE in Config.template.h
- vcs tag aka git commit hash
- set by build.sh in ghactions workflows
- see VCS_TAG in VcsTag.tempalte.h
Rather importantly, the save and website API versions are now allowed to change independently of the display version.
These changes also allowed me to remove the ugly sed hacks in build.sh used to provision some manifest files; they are now provisioned by meson.
Also add version info for windows and android.
This allows multiple instances of the game to be loaded in a single page.
Also stop emitting htmls as a build artifact and require presence of #PowderSessionInfo.
Namely: no, yes, and yes and ask at startup.
The install_check option is thus replaced by the can_install option. -Dinstall_check=true maps to -Dcan_install=yes_check, while -Dinstall_check=false maps to -Dcan_install=yes. -Dcan_install=no is new and is recommended for downstream packaging, where -Dinstall_check=false was historically used.
Also improve error messages about bad configuration here and there and scatter configuration code in subdirectories, where they can be closer to their areas of effect.
Because for some reason the hdiutil convert step would sometimes fail with "image corrupt" when given an image the hdiutil create step had just previously created. Too cursed for my pay grade; I took the easy way out.
Also make it easier to test tpt-libs builds locally by making it possible to point build.sh at a local tpt-libs repo and move installation of build dependencies to build.sh.
Fixes forward-incompatible behaviour introduced by 0ff08c276f. The idea is to have mod owners migrate from using mod_id.txt to using meson_options.txt, but if prepare.py unconditionally prefers the former, nobody can use the latter.
Removed in 59f89f9a46, brought back to minimize discomfort downstream. prepare.py will still default to the mod_id in meson_options.txt if mod_id.txt is deleted though.
Also fix font editor builds on windows and add more font editor builds to the ghactions workflow.
Funny, we don't really need resource.h anymore. The resource compiler does, but we don't.
Also make it and render get built as dynamic executables on ghactions, and disable dynamic+LTO, as it seems to be buggy in certain cases and isn't an important case.
