<br>
I'm new to ScummVM, so expect to receive many questions from me in
the next few weeks, not all of them very clever, as I'm also not
very good with compilation processes (makefiles, etc.)<br>
<br>
Right now I've got 2 questions:<br>
<br>
1/ About "create_project"<br>
<br>
Does "create_project" (from the nightly build) base its project
files generation solely on the "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://module.mk">module.mk</a>" file present in the
engine's folder?<br>
In other words :<br>
- If my <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://module.mk">module.mk</a>
is right, will my Visual Studio Solution be created correctly?
Where else does it pick information from?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
If you want an engine to get picked up by create_project, it must
have a valid module.mk file and also you need to register it in the
configure script. It's pretty easy to do that though, you should
just look at the engine list in configure lines 78-115.<br>

type="cite">- For example, does the engine folder HAVE to be in
"../../engines" from the dist/msvc10 folder ? (I believe some of
the relative paths are hard-coded in create_project)<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
That is correct every engine has to be in the srcdir/engines folder.
The folder name of the engine also needs to match the engine name
you gave the engine in the configure script.<br>

2/ About $srcdir<br>
<br>
I can see in most <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://module.mk">module.mk</a> that they include <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://rules.mk">rules.mk</a> using
: "include $(srcdir)/<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://rules.mk">rules.mk</a>".<br>
Where is $rcdir defined? I take it it#s an environm,ent variable,
but I'm not sure when and how it's defined.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
It is defined when running configure. The definition will get placed
in the config.mk file which is created by configure and used in the
Makefile based build system.<br>
