  MSVC-Builds.md: Add info on CMake and Meson

  Let people know it is also supported to build libsigc++ using CMake or Meson
  with Visual Studio and the tools required for builds directly from GIT
  checkouts

2023-06-27  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

   Visual Studio builds: Convert build docs to MarkDown

  Convert the README.txt to MarkDown format so that it is easier on the eye in
  terms of formatting, and update some of the info:
  
  * Note that although Visual Studio 2013 is supported to build libsigc++, but
    Visual Studio 2015 or later is likely needed to build packages that use
    libsigc++
  * ARM64 is actually supported
  * Update info on build from GIT checkout.
  * Move the part on static builds as appropriate
  * Some other minor tweaks

2023-06-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  MSVC_NMake/README.txt: Mention about static builds

2023-06-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  sigc++.pc.in: Set -DLIBSIGCXX_STATIC in cxxflags as needed

  Update the Meson build files to put in -DLIBSIGCXX_STATIC when we are building
  a static build of libsigc++.
  
  For the autotools build, this is not used.

2023-06-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  NMake Makefiles: Accomodate static builds during "install"

  Copy the built DLL and PDB only if building a shared build, and copy the
  appropriate .lib file according to the build type.

2023-06-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  build: Actually support MSVC static builds

  Apply -DLIBSIGCXX_STATIC as appropriate when we request a static build to be
  done for the Meson and NMake builds, and skip building the version .rc file
  if a static build is requested.
  
  For the NMake builds, separate the build artifacts from the static and shared
  builds.
  
  The autotools builds since it is not used for Visual Studio builds at all.

  build: Drop _WINDLL from sigc++config.h.[in|meson]

  ...and add a new check macro LIBSIGCXX_STATIC, to use the appropriate macros to
  build and link against libsigc++. Drop this from the build files as well.

2023-06-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  meson: Disallow default_library == 'both' on Visual Studio

  We need different defines/cflags for building static and shared builds of
  libsigc++, so we can't really support default_library = 'both' for libsigc++
  without much retinkering.
  
  So, just disallow such builds at least for now.
  
  Also, save up whether we are attempting a static build in the Visual Studio
  build.

  To make things more consistent and less prone to confusion, if 'USE_MESON_LIBS'

  named like the Meson counterparts.  Binaries built with Meson+Visual Studio
  and the ones that are built via NMake using 'USE_MESON_LIBS' are
  interchangeable.

  Re-work the NMake Makefiles

  Do some cleanups, to improve maintainability and running speed, where:
  
  * Change instances of 'libsigcpp' to 'sigc'
  * "Generate" the build rules for the test and example programs, instead
    of hand-writing them, since they use largely similar rules.
  * Don't use separate rules to  create intermediate directories, so that
    we do not need to re-load the Makefiles unnecessarily

  NMake Makefiles: Add rules to generate sources

  This adds rules to use m4 to generate the headers and sources from their .m4
  counterparts, which allows building directly from  a GIT checkout, after
  running the 'prep-git-build' target.
  
  Update the README.txt file to reflect on this enhancement, and make sure the
  generated headers are also copied when running the 'install' target

  NMake Makefiles: Add rules to generate sigc.rc and sigc++config.h

  This adds a 'prep-git-build' target which is run before building any of the
  other targets so that this paves the first steps in making the libsigc++-2-10
  branch buildable directly from a GIT checkout with the NMake Makefiles.
  
  Note that unlike the master (3.x) branch, we still need to use m4 to generate
  some sources and headers, which will be covered in the following commit.

  and 2019 in regards to the built DLL and .lib filenames, since they are
  found to be interchangeable.

  maintainer-mode. Add a better error message if mm-common-get is required
  but not found.
  * meson_options.txt: Set default value of the 'warnings' to 'min'.
  Add 'dist-warnings' with default value 'fatal'.
  * tools/dist-cmd.py: Removed file. It's not necessary in add_dist_script()
  when the first parameter is python3.path().

  It appears that Meson did not construct the paths properly for

  possibly due how path separators are handled.
  
  Fix this by constructing the paths using project_build_root / 'MSVC_NMake'.

  meson.build: Fix 'meson dist' on Windows

  Since we are assured that we are using Python 3.x on when we run Meson, we
  do not really need to look for the 'python3' executable, but we could
  just use whatever Python interpreter that is used to run Meson.
  
  This will fix situations where it is commonly the case where we may have
  multiple Python 3.x installations on Windows (www.python.org, and those
  from Cygwin/mingw-w64), so that Meson really uses one and only one
  Python installation to run everything that is Python-related, which will
  thus fix '[meson|ninja] dist' on Visual Studio builds.

  Meson/MSVC: Support builds directly from GIT checkouts

  It appears that if one uses the m4 that is given by mingw-w64 (and

  So, remove the lines saying building directly from GIT checkouts are not
  supported.

  Visual Studio 2013 also works, but since it will spew out loads of
  warnings and the latest C++-11 version of glibmm is not buildable with
  Visual Studio 2013, let's just require Visual Studio 2015.

  builds: Remove Visual Studio 2013 projects

  The NMake Makefiles superseded them, so let's just remove them.
  
  This will make builds with later Visual Studio versions simpler, and
  will make maintaining the Visual Studio build files easier.

2018-10-30  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  builds: Add NMake Makefiles

  This adds a set of NMake Makefiles that can be used to build
  libsigc++-2.10.x (and the later C++11 versions of libsigc++) with Visual
  Studio 2013 or later.  Building the example, the tests and the
  benchmarking programs are supported in addition to building the main
  libsigc++ DLL.
  
  Note that for the C++-11 releases, we name the DLLs and LIBs as
  sigc-vc140-2_0.[dll|lib] or sigc-vc140-d-2_0.[dll|lib] for Visual Studio
  2015 and 2017 builds as these builds link to the msvcp140[d].dll and
  vcruntime140[d].dll C/C++ runtime DLLs.
  
  This set of NMake Makefiles are now dist'ed in place of the Visual
  Studio 2013 project files.

2018-10-30  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  build: Consolidate source listing into sigc++/filelist.am

  This is for enabling the upcoming NMake Makefiles to use this file
  as well, in addition to the autotools build files, to build the
  libsigc++ DLL.

2018-10-30  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  builds: Rename MSVC_Net2013 as MSVC_NMake

  This is to prepare for the transition for the Visual Studio build
  files to NMake Makefiles.

  slot, signal: Avoid compiler warnings from function pointer conversions

  gcc8 -Wextra prints a warning when a single reinterpret_cast is used for
  conversion between different types of function pointers. The previous fix
  with a union in sigc::internal::bitwise_equivalent_cast<>() is not standard
  C++. Rename the function to function_pointer_cast<>(), and use two
  reinterpret_casts as recommended in gcc's documentation.
  
  Fixes #8

  slot, signal: Avoid compiler warnings from function pointer conversions

  Make --disable-benchmark work

  Currently, when calling ./configure, the possible outcomes of the
  enable_benchmark variable are:
  
  ./configure                          -> ""
  ./configure --enable-benchmark       -> "yes"
  ./configure --enable-benchmark=yes   -> "yes"
  ./configure --enable-benchmark=no    -> "yes"
  ./configure --enable-benchmark=hello -> "yes"
  ./configure --disable-benchmark      -> "yes"
  
  With this commit, those values become
  
  ./configure                          -> ""
  ./configure --enable-benchmark       -> "yes"
  ./configure --enable-benchmark=yes   -> "yes"
  ./configure --enable-benchmark=no    -> "no"
  ./configure --enable-benchmark=hello -> "hello"
  ./configure --disable-benchmark      -> "no"
  
  Note that enable_benchmark is currently only being checked for
  being "yes" or not.
