[Scummvm-devel] Cloud Support

[Thierry Crozat]

Hello packagers,

One more point to notes: if you are building with SDL_net, and thus enabling the local webserver, you will need to distribute wwwroot.zip with the application. It contains files used by the local webserver. The code will look for it in the same place as it looks for scummmodern.zip, so installing it in the same place should work. I have added this in the install target for several ports today, but I probably missed others. So please check yours and update it if needed. The source archive to copy is dists/networking/wwwroot.zip.

Cloud works fine without these, but you can implement these if you want and it's available for the platform. There is an interactive test for urlOpen() in testbed too.

Short links to scummvm.org are redirecting to my app, so instead of typing those you'd have to make a link on your own. For example, this link template could be used for Dropbox app:
> https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://www.scummvm.org/c/code&client_id=<DROPBOX_KEY>
