Ah, okay, and the lack of responses to this ResIL issue are a bit of a worry as well. Those input_Libs look good even they are all in C – seems the same with the DevIL sources.
Sounds good, go with including the DevIL code modules rather than compiled DLLs looks to be a better option, although a C++ version of everything would be a plus. 🙂

Looks good! Haven’t got things set up yet, sorry. Syntax-wise it certainly looks sturdy enough, if need be there’s always CMake: How to Unit-Test your own CMake Script Macros/Functions?.

Aah, you mean the DevIL component is impacting on the issue with Meson? If so, might be an idea to update it, hopefully with new insights from the current…[Read more]

Someone mentioned monitor blanking was not a problem in Linux with the same setup, so, well, had to share it. 🙂

Yeah, guessing that’s what the library machine type 'x86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64' are on about. It would be easy to check that in the vcxproj files for Windows projects, unlikely they would have built it with anything other than cmake though.
Couple of threads of interest, Hello, there is no 64-bit Debug version under the window…[Read more]

Oh cool, so NimrodPSI used Meson to build DeviL at some stage? The DeviL docs do say:

CMake is used to handle building DevIL across multiple platforms.

See README.cmake for details.

Linux may have a problem with dll’s? See for example:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2538635/possible-to-use-a-dll-on-linux

These are the devIL dll’s discussed back here? The ~2016 version had a different build method which might be better. Just start a new VS project and compile it might be a thing, ensuring all the functions in exports all check out.
Another idea is ResIL, looks like it is still being updated with support. 🙂

Might be an idea to include the meson.log in the issue as done here. There’s a couple of other issues similar: Regenerate build.ninja fails on Windows when using MSVC and Fail to find ninja when meson install with VS15 environment.

MS have anonymised some of our posts in their last migration. There were warning banners on their threads apparently, but if you hadn’t been there for a while you wouldn’t have known of the changes.

Message maps in MFC are covered here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49383622/an-explanation-of-message-maps
In a nutshell MFC does away with the message switches and makes them typed. Probably a good idea for many, here the tendency was to stay with the “native” C++ stuff. 😛
Sounds good – ctime looks nice, the hard bit will be to figure out…[Read more]

Upvoted this answer as it looks like the solution – looks like VS was rather kind. 🙂
Wouldn’t harm to check references of LPTIMECALLBACK to see if it is used correctly.
Cool, yes, looks like some teething pain between the approaching tombmilestones from up ahead! 😛

Have you set up Ninja with Meson?

It expects MFC? See:

Watched the Atomic Cafe as well – the eclectric chair segment didn’t appear to have much relevance.
Missed the bar of soap action – is it towards the end?
The government would want to actually consider issuing Bert the Turtle hazmats for likely affected populations – if nothing but for a morale boost!

There’s a good list of energy storage power plants here.

Forgive the quality of Jo Mapes as seen on TV’s Greatest Game Shows of the 50s’ and 60’s

Dang it, Homer and Jethro do it with a bit more fi:

They’re a lot of fun too – here’s “A Screwball’s Love Song”:

Soap on a rope for extra convenience? Atomic Cafe at YouTube is on the list!
Mum also wanted Brief Encounter at IA, recommended, especially for Angela Lansbury’s debut and Rachmaninoff’s score.

What’s your favourite Scalzi title? Here’s a quote attributed from Scalzi:

I am not responsible for actions of the imaginary version of me you have inside your head,

Sounds like a retort in haste – he’ll probably deny ownership. The version template of Scalzi in his own mind must have a set of immutable characteristics translatable to the mind of…[Read more]

It’s already here. 🙂
So watched Distant Cousins on Tubi, terrible and left it on autoplay. Up came The Night Caller, then The Perfect Tenant followed by 100 feet. All terrible, and the feeling that the production crew in all these films were escapees from some institution for the criminally insane, (as was the terminology then). Turns out that…[Read more]

Clog? Well then, a self cleaning unit, else a plugin or daisy chained robot with a vac and broom – wearing a toque blanche of course. 🙂
