It would make a lot of sense to have a program that took data in common 
standardised uncompressed forms (like .wav, .bmp) and generated data in 
whatever format suits Baby X.

That's a horrendous interface for everyone involved.  It is hideous for 
the programmer writing the XML (like all XML is).  It is terrible for 
the translators, who want to work with strings in the common language 
(usually English) and their own language.  It is horrible to use in the 
application code.  It would be a mess to maintain in source code 
repositories.

Seriously, I'm not sure how you could make it worse.  Perhaps you could 
insist that the translation strings are all held in a MS Excel format 
spreadsheet?

Did you even think about how people were supposed to use it, or how 
international programs are developed?


I appreciate what you are trying to do with the tool, I just don't think 
you have considered what might be the best way for people to use it.

I didn't understand all the purposes of the tool (I'm not going to use 
Baby X).

It just looked like something that takes a media file and turns it into 
a block of C code suitable for embedding.

When I tested it, it turned out I needed an XML file (as you say, truly 
horrible to work with). I had to use the example provided and tweak it.

A simpler interface is just to accept the name of one media file, and 
turn that into a .c file (with the same name!). Any resizing options etc 
can be provided on the command line.

Or that can be done via an alternate front-end module built into its own 
executable, keeping the Baby X functionality separate.

"Data" means, "that which is given". People programming applications are given
resources in many formats. They might steal a PNG from  the web, get a JPEG
commissioned from a paid artist, knock up their own SVG.
Now of course it's possible to convert all these into a common format like PNG
which is powerful enough to hold all thse formats without loss. But you've lost
the link with the original data. So when the artist comes back with  a second
version of the JPEG, you've got to run ImageMagick again. And I don't have
ImageMagick installed on the Mac I'm writing this on (there's a program called
sips which does similar things).
A resouce pipeline with lots of stages, each one requiring a separate third party
program, is quite fragile. It works for as long as your Linux machine is all set up
with the dependencies, which will be the case for the duration of the project. 
But if you archive it, and dust it off years later, will things still be intact? And
will you know which are the intermediate files, and which are the original data?

No it doesn't. There's a very simple xml list of resources, and one or two attributes
to control the output. It's nothing like a script. However to be fair I do suggest diving 
into the source if you want to customise it. The users will be C programmers, after
all.

You might be right about that. We considered internationalisation at
work (we make tools for artists), but the customers said they were
happy with English, and it was such a bag of worms that we rejected 
the idea. So I've no experience. Part of the reason for discussing it here 
is that other people might have such experience.
You can't really support  Unicode but not support internationalisation,
however.

It's a resource compiler for Baby X. There's no good way of getting images and
fonts into Baby X programs, other than using the resource compiler. Just as
there's no good way of getting images and fonts into Windows programs without
using the Windows resource compiler. But because the Baby X resource compiler
produces C source instead of a binary blob, you don't have to use it with Baby X.

But I'm not deliberately targetting non-Baby X users with v1.2, though the <utf16>
tag is maybe a concession to non-Baby X use (Baby X uses UTF-8 throughout).
As you have pointed out, there are a whole host of issues to consider before
doing this properly. So it's something for a future version, not v1.2.

Or, well, "those which are given", if we are going to be pedantic.

"Datum" is that which is given.

It looks like there is someone else in this group who could benefit from 
understanding "make" and/or other build tools.  And if you can't use a 
Mac for development, scrap the expensive toy and install a usable 
system.  (Of course, you /can/ use a Mac for development - you just need 
to know how to use your tools.)

Just think about it a little.  You know a language or two other than 
English - put yourself in the position of a translator who does not 
understand C and is not a programmer.  Would you want to face that XML crap?

Of course you can.  It is only the opposite that will cause you 
difficulties.

Bart's right about make. If it actually worked properly we wouldn't need CMake.
But it's unmaintainable. We produce graphical tools, so we have plenty of
resources that need to be embedded in the programs.. But we don't have a 
pipeline set up with make dependencies. You could fiddle with such a system until 
it worked. But it would fall over at the slightest stress.

Baby X is mainly for small hobby type programs. It's easier to use than
the raw X11 interface, and it's far lighter weight than Qt or GTK. It also
ports to Windows. So most of the users will be bedroom programmers
who will set up the internationalisation strings themselves, rather than
employing professional translators.
As I said, if as a side effect the Baby X resource compiler is useful to
non-Baby X porgrammers, then that's great. But the focus is on having 
a good tool which will help unleash the potential of Baby X.

But for version 1.3 I could well shift focus to meeting the needs of non-
Baby X programmers. I know that more people download the resource
compiler than download Baby X, which suggest that there is a need there.

And whilst there are competitors to Baby X, there isn't a close competitor
to the resource compiler which I have seen.

To you, perhaps.   Probably because you don't understand it.

The linux kernel  is but one large application that uses make, and it
works well, and is quite maintainable.  Far more so that CMake which
still suffers from portability issues (i.e. it's not always available).

That's not been my experience with make (several operating systems, hypervisors,
SoC simulators, large internal webservers, certification authority production certificate
generation systems (Verisign) et. alia.).   Properly designed makefiles are a joy
to work with.

They are a joy to work with, yes.  But they can be less joyful to write 
sometimes, and debugging is rarely easy.  However, you rarely have to 
write them in practice - usually for a new project, I take an existing 
makefile (or set of makefiles) and change details such as project name, 
compiler, flags, etc., and we are off.  I am not sure if I have started 
a new makefile from scratch since my first one many decades ago!

But, firstly, CMake doesn't do away with make; it generates Makefiles!

Make implementations like GNU Make are of a lot better quality and
better at doing what they are designed to than CMake is at doing
its job.

It's a poor design with a poor input language.

That doesn't mean you can easily replace what it does with Make;
that's not the argument.

But you definitely should replace what it does with something else.

Frankly, I'd rather separately maintain a .BAT file and a .sh file to
build some C or C++ code on Windows and Unix, as a sequence of
boiler-plate compiler commands, than use CMake.

"make" works perfectly well for its purpose.  CMake is a different tool, 
doing a different job.  In fact, CMake generates makefiles for use by 
"make" (as well as project files for MSVC, and other types of build 
system).  CMake is a higher level tool.  ("make" can, in combination 
with compilers like gcc, do a fair amount of higher level work as well, 
such as tracking dependencies and files automatically.)

One thing that "make" is particularly good at is chains of processes. 
It is straightforward to say that "picture.o" is compiled from 
"picture.c" which is resource-compiled from "picture.bmp" which is 
converted from "picture.jpg".  I sometimes have that kind of thing in 
makefiles for building documentation, where the graphics files I want to 
add to my LaTeX documents might need conversions or manipulations from 
the originals.

> But it's unmaintainable.

Not for people who are familiar with it.

Certainly complicated makefiles are harder to deal with than simple 
ones.  It's a powerful tool with many features, and takes time and 
effort to learn.  But complicated ones can reduce maintenance - my 
makefiles do not need modification as files are added or removed from a 
project, or dependencies on headers change - it is all handled 
automatically.

No, you are simply wrong here.  The fact that you are unqualified to 
develop advanced makefiles, and unfamiliar with the tool's capabilities, 
does not make it fragile.

That is a hopeless attitude to take.  You are simply guaranteeing that 
people will not use it for internationalisation - or that they will hate 
the tool when they try to use it.  Targeting hobby users is not an 
excuse for bad design.  I would suggest you remove all traces of 
internationalisation until you have found a way to make it work.  (And 
drop the XML format while you are at it - a simple one line, one command 
text format would be vastly easier for everyone.)

[...]

If you're going to do internationalization, I suggest using some
standard format to store the messages.

GNU gettext uses a plain-text ".po" format.

There's also an ISO standard format called XLIFF which is, for
better or worse, XML-based.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XLIFF

XLIFF is probably used widely enough that there are tools that let
users treat the XML files as opaque binaries.

CMake is an alternative to make. It can generate make files, in fact that's the
default. Which means that if you ship a project with a CMake script, you
 wouldn't normally provide a make file. CMake found a niche largely because
make files are too difficult to use. The other reason is that the big IDEs
rejected makefiles as their format for describing how to build projects.

Many programmers might start a new project only once every two years. And
it might not be their job to write the makefile. So they are not going to be very 
familiar with make. Maintainable software needs to be maintainable by people
who don't have a deep familarity with it. I can debug Cmake scripts despite
not really knowing the CMake language, because it's close enough to a normal
procedural programming language for someone who can program but doesn't
know CMake specifically to follow along.

It works. The question is whether it's a good approach to the problem.
As I said, the user of Baby X will be mostly hobby programmers. So the
emphasis is on making things easy to use. Adding alternative translations
under an <international> tag is easy to do.

However I fully accept that there might be a far better approach. Keith
Thompson has made some constructive suggestions.

XML has some advantages over an ad-hoc line-based format. The parser needs
work as it's currently too basic. But XML should be familiar to most programmers.

It is a "meta-build" tool, aimed at a higher level than make, and which 
generates scripts or control files for various uses - makefiles, MSVC 
project files, and others.  For some kinds of project, that might be a 
good choice - sometimes it makes sense to separate the tasks of 
calculating dependencies and settings, and actually controlling the 
build.  But since on many platforms CMake depends on make, it is not an 
alternative.  And CMake is not flexible enough for many uses - when I 
have looked at it, it was not remotely flexible enough to do the kinds 
of things I do with make.  Many people use CMake, so it must have 
merits, but it is not a replacement for make.

Every IDE of any quality can handle projects that are built using 
external makefiles.  An IDE that won't run "make" at the press of a 
hotkey is as useful as an IDE that can't handle ASCII format test files.

But if you have an external manually written makefile, that is not 
project management - so usually you also then have to make an IDE 
project to describe the source files, include search paths, pre-defined 
macros, etc.  That can be a duplicate of work (though good makefiles 
find the source files and dependencies mostly automatically), and 
duplication can lead to mistakes.

The norm AFIK for build systems controlled by IDEs is make - they 
generate makefiles automatically based on your project settings, dialog 
boxes for choosing compiler flags, etc.  Such systems can work 
reasonably well, though a well-made manual makefile is often much better 
at calculating dependency information for large projects.

Some IDEs may generate CMake files, then run CMake, then make - I have 
(unsurprisingly) not used all IDEs.

CMake, as far as I understand it, is popular when you want a project to 
build on Linux with gcc and Windows with MSVC - that is its niche.

People need to know how to use their tools.  Within any development 
group, you need people who can handle the different parts of the 
development process.  Sometimes people can do it all, sometimes there 
are specialists in the group.  So someone might be an expert at git, 
someone at make, different programmers can handle different languages, 
and others are good at design, documentation, testing, and all the other 
aspects of software development.  Anyone who thinks that "understands C" 
is the be-all and end-all of making and maintaining a software project 
in C is doomed to failure.

So if you are part of a development team, and your team is rejecting 
"make" on the basis of "it's too hard to understand", your development 
team is in a /lot/ of trouble.  New management - or at least training 
for the management - should be number one priority until the job is run 
by people that understand about using the best tools for the job, and 
training people in the jobs that need done.  (Of course, if CMake really 
is a better choice for your project, that's fine - make is not the only 
tool in the box.)

Your evidence for that is ... what?  You need users and feedback to 
establish that.  And maybe your XML is turning away potential users - it 
would turn me away, certainly.

Indeed.  (My criticism here is intended as constructive, to suggest 
better choices.)

> As I said, the user of Baby X will be mostly hobby programmers. 

If your description of it is accurate, why are you limiting it like 
that?  Many professional developers would like better simple 
cross-platform gui tools and toolkits.  And if it is not better than 
existing options, why bother with it at all?  The only time it makes

No, the translation system is /not/ easy to use, and horrendous to maintain.

Look, imagine a developer wanted French and German translations.  It's 
just a single programmer, but he has a couple of friends who speak those 
languages.  With your solution, these two friends are mixing and editing 
the same file, at the same time, while the programmer is simultaneously 
modifying the file for other purposes.  It is absolute madness.  Do you 
not understand that the French translations need to go in one file, and 
the German translations need to go in a different file, and there is 
/no/ circumstances in which it is a good idea to mix them all together 
in one horrible XML file?

Anyone trying to use your tool for something more than a "Hello world" 
program will write their own pre-processor to generate your XML file!

XML is familiar as a concept of hatred by most programmers - something

it is a great buzzword.  Almost nobody chooses XML voluntarily.

CMake has a "generator", which is their word for target output format.
So you can use it to generate Xcode or Visual Studio files, or make files.
The two big advantages are that you don't have to ship an Xcode or
Visual Studio project file. CMake generates it for your client. And the
Cmkae scripts are easier to read and maintain than makefiles.

My point is that when the first IDEs came out, they could have said "the project
description file will be a makefile, maybe with added comments to represent
information needed by the iDE but not by the compiler". They opted not to
do this.

There's a big difference between automatic scripts and ones written by humans.
 If something goes wrong with the automatic script, whilst a human programmer
might have to look at it, basically the problem is almost certainly in the program
which generated the script. So it doesn't matter too much if the script is 
unreadable. As long as the generating program is well-structured and
debuggable.

We use Qt for one of our products. Not one that I work on personally.
But one of the developers told me that he had had a 12 hour build.
Of course the Qt product is super polished, and he is being paid for
those twelve hours. So it's worth it for us. But for hobby programming
it's probably not. Baby X will build in a few seconds.

Yes but think of someone who lives inFrance, and speaks French as his native
language and English as a second language, but no others. He'll like the idea
that he can toggle his Baby X program between English and French. But he
can't afford to send off the strings to a professional translator to get in
other languages. For him, the system as it stands is ideal (I think, I'm open
to suggestions).

That would be a disaster and destroy the main point of the resource compiler.
However no such program can support every type of processing you might need.
It can resize images, but not do gamma correction, for example.

Ah, so you are a Bart. But XML rather than C is the target of ire.
In my view, XML is ideal for a resource compiler script format.

It is inaccurate to say "CMake /has/ a generator" - it is better to say 
it /is/ a generator.  Apart from that, you have basically repeated what 
I wrote.

IDE's need all kinds of things in the project management that are 
irrelevant to the build process, and therefore unsuitable for storing in 
a makefile.  And makefiles can have all sorts of things that are 
difficult for something like an IDE to interpret - they are far too 
flexible.  So "project description files" are IDE-specific, and IDE's 
could not possibly use makefiles for the purpose.  CMake files are less 
flexible than makefiles, but are equally unsuitable for IDE project 
management.

That's all true, but I don't see the relevance.

CMake may be the best choice here - I don't contend that.  The point of 
disagreement is the myth that make is claimed to be so hard to use that 
it must be avoided.

Read again what I wrote.  If CMake is the right tool for your group, 
great.  But if something else is the right tool - make or anything else 
- and your team is avoiding it because no one knows how to work it, then 
you have a /big/ problem.  Project management involves investing in tool 
training and tool purchase (though in this case, the cost price is 
zero), balanced against the usefulness of the tool, how much time it 
saves in the future, how much easier it makes the work for the 
development team, and - perhaps most importantly - how it affects 
quality and reduces the risk of mistakes.  I am not saying that "make" 
is the best build tool for your needs, because I don't know your needs - 
but I /am/ saying that if your team is not using the best build tool 
merely "because it is hard", you development processes and management 
need a good shake-up.

(I have looked at CMake for our development uses - it is not suitable 
and can't do the job.)

Qt is /big/.  A 12 hour build sounds excessive (or perhaps you need new 
build servers), but long build times are not uncommon for large Qt 
projects.  Presumably for this product, you are using a lot of Qt 
features, and need that toolkit.  But for many professional projects, 
you don't need much - if Baby X has all that's needed, and is easy to 
use, then I would expect professional developers would pick it over Qt 
when a lighter toolkit is sufficient.

No, for him the system is hopeless.  Completely hopeless.

Compare this to a program using standard gettext() libraries and locale 
files.  The enthusiastic French user who wants a French translation of 
your program can use the /binary/ of your program.  He/she does not have 
to learn about building from scratch, or programming in C, or writing 
XML files, or mixing in French strings along with German strings and 
twenty other languages in a huge clump.  He/she fires up poedit 
(familiar to many who have done software translation work), and has a 
useable interface for translating the strings from English to French. 
Then he/she can use your program in French.  And they can send you the 
French translation to include for others - all without ever even knowing 
what programming language you are using.

But it is what would happen.

Your resource compiler hasn't a hope in hell of supporting all the file 
types people might want.  Their own pre-processor, however, /would/ 
support the file types /they/ want - such as converting whatever 
graphics format they actually use into whatever graphics format your 
program supports.

XML is a massively verbose format.  It can be okay as a machine-written 
format - it is popular for things like word processor document formats. 
It is also not a bad choice for very structured and hierarchical 
configuration files, such as those used by Apache.

But for something like this, it is just horrible - everything is 
duplicated, the text is cramped (spaces in the wrong place cause 
trouble), you don't have comments, and lists, tuples, and fixed-format 
structures are excessively unpleasant to write.  The actual information 
you want to read and write is smothered by the XML tags.  Writing such 
XML files is a big effort, and highly error-prone.  It's not even easy 
to parse in software (especially when you insist on using an unsuitable 
language for the task).

You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but I would struggle to 
find a less pleasant (in /my/ view) format for the task.

No, simply no.
Good makefile  finds "other" dependencies mostly automatically, but 
makes no attempts to figure out source files.

A major motivation was to avoid unnecessary compilations by only compiling
source which had changed.  That's still maybe relevant for massive projects.
But I rebuilt the Baby X resource compiler from scratch, and counted.
"One, two, three .." and it was done. For a program of that size, this is no longer
an issue.

You have a faster machine than I do.

Building your BBX project with gcc 13.2 on Windows takes 11 seconds for 
-O0, and 37 seconds for -O3.

My bcc takes just over a second.

(BTW there's an annoying bug in gcc. I put all the files in an @ file, 
so it includes lines like this:

    freetype\ttapi.c

as is normal for paths on Windows. But gcc ignores the backslash. I have 
to write it as /.)

My makefiles do.

Obviously this is in combination with an appropriate layout of the 
files.  Basically, all my source files will be in my project's "source" 
directory and subdirectories thereof, and nothing else is there.  So 
finding all the source files is just a recursive wildcard operation. 
Any time I add or remove files to the project, the build is adjusted 
automatically.  It is all incredibly easy to use, and very hard to get 
wrong.  (Writing the makefile originally took some time.)


Of course, if you have a different way of organising your source files, 
you may not have appropriate rules that can be put in your makefile to 
let make find them automatically.

In the same sense that 'imake' was an alternative to 'make'.  They both
are pre-processors that generate makefiles.

Having used 'ant' (a java make analog) a couple decades ago, the only advantages of XML
are machine readability.  There's no human advantage.
