[Scummvm-devel] Does create_Questions about engines .mk files and create_project

[Mathieu BERGOUNIOUX]

Hi all,

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.)

Right now I've got 2 questions:

1/ About "create_project"

Does "create_project" (from the nightly build) base its project files
generation solely on the "module.mk" file present in the engine's folder?
In other words :
- If my module.mk is right, will my Visual Studio Solution be created
correctly? Where else does it pick information from?
- 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)

2/ About $srcdir

I can see in most module.mk that they include rules.mk using :    "include
$(srcdir)/rules.mk".
Where is $rcdir defined? I take it it#s an environm,ent variable, but I'm
not sure when and how it's defined.


Let me know if my quesitons are not clear.
