I changed it mainly for windows builds, where it required a separate compiler (NASM) to be installed. I was contemplating changing it to be default ON for the makefile, but didn't end on a decision before making this PR. I don't know enough about the optimization gains that it provides. I was considering removing the option entirely, since openssl says that it is mostly a debugging thing. Update: I've decided that this is probably not a good idea. I'm going to set OpenSSLASM back to being default ON, removing it from the makefile (because openssl says you shouldn't be turning it off without good reason). If someone needs a build without these optimizations they can pass the argument in EXTRA_CONFIGURE_FLAGS. |

I made this PR early mostly to see if anyone can see any mistakes I've made and get some feedback on the build changes. I'm still waiting on the results of a script I'm running that is checking all possible combinations of build modes. |
* builds windows, macos, linux binaries on github actions * uploads to release on tagged commits
CMakeLists changes:
* enables linking with a shared libuv and lua.
* makes the default cmake build a tiny build.
- openssl, lpeg, pcre and zlib must be explicitly enabled
* cleans up some file path issues when ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} was prepended twice in a row
* tries to clean up the style of the cmakelists.txt
* removes old cpack functionality from cmakelists.txt
- this hasn't been touched since 2015
- and if we're packaging anything we should be packaging luvi + lit + luvit.
* try to start efforts towards cross compiling (at least for Lua)
- can now somewhat cross compile openssl
Makefile changes:
* allows changing all cmake options from the makefile (and they're now somewhat documented)
* the regular-asm makefile target has been removed in favor of `WITH_OPENSSL_ASM=ON`
* the old holy-build-box building and ci packaging has been removed from the makefile
- holy-build-box is provided by packaging/hbb and release packaging was moved into github actions
Make.bat changes:
* Architecture is now automatically detected, and can be overridden with the `%ARCH%` environment var.
* -asm builds were removed, there is no makefile argument equivalent, it required nasm to be installed.
- may need to be reverted if there is a significant performance drop.

Closing this in favor of a better rewrite #285 |
This is rather large overhaul of the cmake and make files as well as removing appveyor from CI.
This moves all CI and release builds to github actions. The makefile can now pass all options the cmake build accepts. The cmake file can now link lua and libuv dynamically (as well as link libluv dynamically correctly now).
The smallest change is adding
luvas a way to require luv on top of the normaluvprovided in luvi. This makes luvi compatible with luarocks packages that use luv.The default cmake build is now tiny (all extra libraries are default OFF), which makes it easier to consider which libraries need to be enabled or disabled.
CPACK has been removed from the cmake file, it hadn't been updated since 2015; any packaging of luvi should probably happen with luvi + lit + luvit, as that is the most reasonable use of a luvi package.
Make.bat now detects the architecture of the computer (or is overridden using
ARCH) instead of havingmodeandmode32builds. Perhaps we should look into using mingw to build for windows (which means reusing the Makefile).As a side effect of this PR. Appveyor will need to be turned off.
