MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - be globed or get left behind

Remember the days when source code of MESS made its way into MAME source when Micko was
running the show back then. Another time to readjust to source code overhaul structure.

No more folders such as

Src\mame\audio
Src\mame\drivers
Src\mame\machine
Src\mame\video

Explanation is mentioned in this update although expect fuller detailed explanations eventually.

Eliminated cross dependencies between driver projects.

Driver projects now use globs to search for files. There's less effort
editing the Lua files when things are moved around. Remember it won't
automatically pick up a change, so if you add/remove/change files, you
should touch makefile to get it to find the change.

Driver projects no longer get the top-level MAME directory as an include
path. This means you need to think about how you structure things and
not introduce nasty circular dependencies.

Subtarget projects can now be generated entirely from .flt files without
the need for separate Lua scripts and .lst files. This has been done
for the arcade, mess and virtual targets. It effectively works like a
SOURCES= build on a large scale. This means you need to organise things
so the dependency genrators can find them.

Meanwhile a spooky skeleton folder has made its way into the src\mame directory.

Maybe a skeleton spook or a spook skull as Curly would say.
