Compiling the Wii port with the official monolithic code (Part II: BGDI)

So this is what the official monolithic version of bgdi looks like when compiled for the Wii and run without arguments.

It's noteworthy that it's a complete version of BennuGD: all and only the official modules are built in: I'll still have to merge unofficial modules (mod_wpad, mod_chipmunk) before doing a proper release but this is a completely up to date build of BennuGD.

I'll run a few tests and in case everything is working as expected I'll drop the binaries here for you to play.

[EDIT] Sorry, no release for you today: Modules are loading and some functionality is there, but there's some major stuff not working and I need to fix it before releasing anything useful :(

Compiling the Wii port with the official monolithic code (Part I: BGDC)

Yesterday I spent an hour or so playing around with the official monolithic code.
I got BGDC to compile from SplinterGU's monolithic code.

What you're seeing is the standard info message you get when you call "bgdc" without any arguments.
Not really impressive but it's progress, in a sense :)

PS: The patch includes one small dirty section; we'll fix it before release

Official Monolithic architecture now available!

(Cross-posted to bennugd-wii and bennugd-mobile blogs).
SplinterGU just made an official monolithic implementation of BennuGD available in the official SVN repo.
The implementation is pretty-similar in design to mine but SplinterGU has managed to make it much easier to mantain (the header with the list of required symbols are generated automatically so he basically just maintains the modular version). That said, future updates to my ports (both for the Wii and for mobile platforms) will be based upon this design. I don't yet know if I'll publish full sources or just a set of patches against the official repo.

In any case, SplinterGU has expressed interest in the Wii port so it might become official at some point.

Not much more to announce: I advanced quite a bit with the iOS port and should published an updated template shortly. The android port still has troubles with the sound, and those don't seem to be going away shortly.

Happy coding!
