* [msbuild] Convert to short-form csproj.
* [msbuild] Make asserts more useful.
* [msbuild] Make tests ignore the actual location of the test assembly.
* [msbuild] Short-style projects default to deterministic builds, which is not compatible with wildcard versions.
* [msbuild] Adjust test.
* Update .gitignore.
* Bump NUnit.ConsoleRunner version.
* [msbuild] Fix indentation.
* [msbuild] Simplify csproj.
* [builds] Improve mono/llvm dependencies.
* Create a list of all the files in the mono and llvm repositories, and save
these lists as a Make variable (in a generated Makefile - .deps.*.mk). We
don't list _all_ the files in each repository, because there are quite a few
(55k for mono), and Make measurably takes a while to check all of them, so
try to limit it to a sane subset, without risking missing changes to files
that actually matters.
* Always create stamp files when we're done with mono builds.
* Modify the mono/llvm builds to depend on all the files in their
repositories.
* Explicitly list the corresponding .stamp-build-* files as dependencies for
various files that are produced by the mono builds, so that make knows how
to build these files.
* Rewrite the *-facade-check targets to depend on the corresponding
*_BCL_TARGETS, so that we can avoid running a submake to the same Makefile
to execute the facade checks.
It now takes a little while (less than a second on my machine, which is
fine) for make to list all dependencies and get their timestamps, but if
executing multiple submakes this adds up to a multi-second timewaste.
So avoid the timewaste by not doing submakes, but instead use dependencies
to enforce the required target execution ordering.
* Don't depend on nicely named intermediate targets, since won't prevent
rebuilds:
build-cross64: setup-cross64
Since the `setup-cross64` file doesn't exist, `build-cross64` will always
execute. Instead depend on the stamp file:
build-cross64: .stamp-configure-cross64
And now `build-cross64` will only rebuild if needed.
* Don't try to list all intermediate files as .SECONDARY dependencies, instead
list none at all, which works as if all files were listed as dependencies.
* Some targets had to move later in the file, since variables used in dependencies:
foo: $(VARIABLE)
must be defined before that point in the file, as opposed to variables used in recipes:
foo:
$(MAKE) $(VARIABLE)
can be defined anywhere in the Makefile.
* Simplify the targets that sign assemblies significantly.
There are a few end results:
* It's now possible to do `make install`, without doing `make all` first. This
might seem weird, but that also ensures the more common `make all install`
works properly.
* Remakes (without any mono/llvm changes) in build/ are much faster, because
we now won't recurse into every mono build:
$ time make all -C builds/ -j8
[...]
real 0m1.873s
This even means that we might be able to make it a habit to remake in the
root directory, which doesn't take forever now:
$ time make all -j8
[...]
real 0m4.521s
Unfortunately adding `make install` to the mix still does some useless
stuff, and it ends up taking ~30 seconds to complete a full build:
$ time make all install -j8
[...]
real 0m32.542s
* [msbuild] Don't verify the xml syntax of targets files unless the files change.
* [build] Don't depend on installed files.
Don't depend on installed files, because that causes a rebuild when installing
to a different directory (i.e. package creation).
* Bump maccore to get build improvements.
Rebuilds are now very fast:
$ make all install -j8
$ time make all install -j8
real 0m5.735s
Less than 6s to figure out that nothing needs to be done.
And strangely flushing the disk cache doesn't make it much slower:
$ sudo purge
$ time make all install -j8
real 0m7.309s
Which probably means that Make mostly reads file metadata, and not actual file
contents (which is good).
