Re: [lwip-users] lwIP 2.1 cleanup - remove UNIX test apps

Dirk,

I appreciate your point. I find that makefiles are elegant concise and powerful.

When all fail I just take the time to write a makefile using vpath for source files anywhere.

With other IDEs you are at the mercy of ever changing formats (especially msvc and eclipse)

I am not sure how cmake deals with new formats for every IDE version. It is a moving target. No?

For no extra charge your are subject to the gui system.

I will try your cmake system. My point is that you could leave alone working makefiles for people

who choose to use them.

Thanks

Yigal

I agree a simple build system ideally without any dependency is best. But cmake provides a great advantage: you prefer Makefiles, others prefer Visual Studio projects, others Eclipse projects, others Ninja as a build system etc. - cmake provides all of this and the cmake files are more readable, at least after getting used to yet-another-syntax. The drawback is you have to install one more dependency...

I still want to provide the Filelists.mk files, these won't go away, so it will be always easy to maintain a Makefile based system for your own projects without installing cmake.

Thanks Dirk,

I like and prefer gnu Makefiles ready to go. They work work well in Linux and on Windows using Mingw and Cygwin.

For msvc all you need is to change the CC and CFLAGS and you are good to go. msvc 2017 is finally very close to c99 or even later.

The "older" file organization with Makefiles without the need to additional cmake processing.

For all windows the final link needs win pcap lib (taken from wherever it was installed).

I will try your suggestion for cmake (will need to install cmake).

If it is simple and reliable maybe it is a godo improvement.

Thanks

Hi Yigal,

I removed it because you can generate easily a Makefile-based build (and many others) using cmake.

- cd into example_app dir

- mkdir build

- cd build

- cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"

- make

​The msvc_netif_init contains no platform specific code. I just forgot to rename it. Just pushed a fix it a f​ew minutes before.

Dirk
