Build cleanup, Large address aware

Open Rans4ckeR opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

WindowsXNA default build change from x86 to AnyCPU (32-bit preferred). Both are 32bit but the latter enables the flag Large address aware.

Build dependency optimizations. Remove dependency on Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.dll (25MB) and WinRT.Runtime.dll by targeting net6.0-windows since we are unlikely to use WinRT functions.

Drop net48 target for UniversalGL, it's always net6.0. This enables running and debugging UniversalGL using WSL.

Update packages.

Why enabling large address aware for the client?

Why enabling large address aware for the client?

64-bit programming for Game Developers:

It is a good practice to specify large-address-aware when building 32-bit applications, by using the linker flag /LARGEADDRESSAWARE, even if the application is not intended for a 64-bit platform, because of the advantages that are gained at no cost.
