We plan to use flatbuffers in the future for the next generation of
the .slvs file format, so flatbuffers are built unconditionally; and
the Q3DO exporter itself is tiny.
This commit performs two main changes:
* Alters the shaders to use only strictly conformant GLSL 2.0.
* Alters the Windows UI to use ANGLE via GL ES 2.0 and EGL 1.4.
This commit also drops official support for Windows XP, since ANGLE
requires a non-XP toolset to build. It is still possible to build
SolveSpace for Windows XP using:
cmake -T v120_xp -DOPENGL=1
This commit makes common external packages always be included through
find_package to eliminate differences in variables set, wraps
find_package for vendored libraries on Windows to factor out common
code, and removes miscellaneous useless code elsewhere in dependency
handling.
This also fixes a problem where pkg-config would pick up `build`
libraries instead of `host` when cross-compiling.
We had to fork libdxfrw since the upstream doesn't have a git
repository, a CMake buildsystem, and is quite buggy.
libdxfrw is also used in LibreCAD, but they just vendored
their version.
We are going to use freetype instead of the old custom TTF parser,
since the old parser has many annoying bugs when handling non-Latin
fonts and fixing it is not really worth the time.
On Windows, Freetype is built from a submodule.
On Linux and OS X, Freetype is provided together with the desktop,
though development files have to be installed separately.
As a side effect, zlib and libpng are now git submodules,
based on their respective official git repositories.
This is necessary, because MinGW has a different ABI and
it cannot use the prebuilt binaries built by MSVC.
The submodules are also used for Windows, for several reasons:
* to allow 64-bit builds;
* to allow using newer MSVC, which doesn't like the prebuilt
libraries;
* to keep the libraries updated.
