![]() ![]() Since Microsoft doesn't support DX8 anymore, the neseccary header and lib files are no longer included in the SDK. It may or may not work with newer SDKs, I haven't tried. For DirectX 9 it's been tested with the "DirectX SDK June 2007", which can be downloaded HERE. WME comes in two flavors, DirectX8 and DirectX 9. To be able to compile the engine and the tools, you will need to install DirectX SDK. rc files, referencing the afxres.h file which is not included in VS Express). Also, if you are using Visual Studio 2008 Express, you may need to install the Windows SDK and modify some of the sources (namely the. It *should* be possible to compile in newer Visual Studio versions, but I haven't tried. Therefore all the solution and project files, as well as precompiled dependencies are in Visual Studio 2008 format. WME development is done in Visual Studio 2008. You can then offer your changes by sending a pull request to the main repository. Use this option if you want to work on the source code, separately from the main repo. The advantage is that you can later refresh your local repository by pulling new changes.ģ) Create a fork of the repository on BitBucket. In TortoiseHG Workbench use the "Clone repository" command. If you prefer GUI tools, you'll probably want to use TortoiseHG. You will need a mercurial client for this. The "tip" tag represents the latest version of all files.Ģ) Clone the repository on your computer. Go to the downloads section, select the "tags" or "branches" tab and download the arcive of your choice. There are several ways of getting the code:ġ) Download the code in a compressed archive. Git is the source code version control system that is rapidly becoming the standard for open source projects.The source code is available in a public repository stored on BitBucket. It has a powerful distributed model which allows advanced users to do tricky things with branches, and rewriting history. What a pity that it’s so hard to learn, has such an unpleasant command line interface, and treats its users with such utter contempt. The information model is complicated – and you need to know all of it. As a point of reference, consider Subversion: you have files, a working directory, a repository, versions, branches, and tags. That’s pretty much everything you need to know. In fact, branches are tags, and files you already know about, so you really need to learn three new things. Now Git: you have files, a working tree, an index, a local repository, a remote repository, remotes (pointers to remote repositories), commits, treeishes (pointers to commits), branches, a stash… and you need to know all of it. ![]() The command line syntax is completely arbitrary and inconsistent. Some “shortcuts” are graced with top level commands: “git pull” is exactly equivalent to “git fetch” followed by “git merge”. But the shortcut for “git branch” combined with “git checkout”? “git checkout -b”. Specifying filenames completely changes the semantics of some commands (“git commit” ignores local, unstaged changes in foo.txt “git commit foo.txt” doesn’t). The various options of “git reset” do completely different things. ![]() ![]() The most spectacular example of this is the command “git am”, which as far as I can tell, is something Linus hacked up and forced into the main codebase to solve a problem he was having one night. It combines email reading with patch applying, and thus uses a different patch syntax (specifically, one with email headers at the top). The man pages are one almighty “fuck you”. Git-rebase – Forward-port local commits to the updated upstream head Here’s a description for humans: git-push – Upload changes from your local repository into a remote repository Git-push – Update remote refs along with associated objects They describe the commands from the perspective of a computer scientist, not a user. Translation: git-rebase – Sequentially regenerate a series of commits so they can be applied directly to the head node 4. Remember the complicated information model in step 1? It keeps growing, like a cancer. Keep using Git, and more concepts will occasionally drop out of the sky: refs, tags, the reflog, fast-forward commits, detached head state (!), remote branches, tracking, namespaces 5. Most of the power of Git is aimed squarely at maintainers of codebases: people who have to merge contributions from a wide number of different sources, or who have to ensure a number of parallel development efforts result in a single, coherent, stable release. ![]()
