This provides additional improvements and updates for building
Audacity using Xcode 5.1 or above.
The whole configure/makefile system is no longer used during
normal builds. During library additions/updates it used to
regenerated the headers in mac/config.
That is the function that computes the heights of dark and pale blue lines in
the waveform display.
It's not simple but now the flow of control is less strange and it is better
commented.
This doesn't fix or enhance anything, but it might find use later, such as in
a project to adapt the resolution of the display in reponse to slow scrolling
updates.
src/prefs/ModulePrefs.cpp:99: warning: Empty msgid. It is reserved by GNU gettext:
gettext("") returns the header entry with
meta information, not the empty string.
Based on Robert's and Steve's suggestions, I removed the "Clear"
button, replaced FileDialog usage with wxFileDialog to restore
extension suffixing, and escaped newlines in save settings so
that chains work properly.
I also attempted to locate the issue where code isn't being
parsed and made a couple of changes, but I doubt I got it.
On Windows, you use:
/d <filename>
--decode <filename>
On Linux and OSX, you use:
-d <filename>
--decode <filename>
Note that the input (binary) file IS replaced with the decoded
XML file.
This captures crashes on Windows along with the stack backtrace.
On Linux (fedora 21 at least), the necessary function to enable
capture is not included in the system wx libs. But, a self built
version works fine and capture the backtrace, so I'm assuming
other distros will probably work as well.
On OSX, the crashes are caught, but it does not include the
backtrace.
But, really, the backtraces aren't all that useful in a release
build since we don't ship with debug symbols and optimization
plays havoc with proper backtraces anyway.
The real benefit will be for the support folks as they can now
get consistent info from user by asking the to generate a report
from the "Help->Generate Support Data" menu item.
