Maintaining Project Generator

Open dimitre opened this issue 10 months ago • 6 comments

I am helping getting ProjectGenerator working for 0.12.1 release But I'm not using it anymore day to day, so I won't be actually working on advancements after the release.

What I'm using now is ofGen, which is a cleaned up version of PG, It is not depending on OF so it compiles quickly (about 3 seconds) and it uses a lot less code, so it is easier to maintain

If any interest arises later in adopting as a PG commandline substitute I can work on few missing functionalities and be responsible for the project

@dimitre is it Xcode only at this point?

I'm definitely open to looking at more maintainable solutions going forward, including cmake, meson and other more standardized systems. :)

It is XCode VSCode and Zed, make at this point but I can quickly add everything in there :)

Code is here. I have to split files for each template to be more tidy https://github.com/dimitre/openFrameworks/tree/ofworks/ofGen

I was only interested in holding onto her if she could embed a window for Emscripten but then I was like, dudes got a browser
