How many so totally incompatible subarchitectures are there? I liked the
way we did it before, not having to have to build multiple versions for
similar architectures.
More then "few", and it wasn't only for
Freeloader. I am a man of
vision; I thought of this and its long-term effects. I'm sure they'll
become apparent in a year or two when we start supporting other
architectures and sub-architectures.
I wouldn't consider the xbox as a subarchitecture, detecting it on the
fly imo is much better than having to build separate binaries. They're
not totally incompatible. Although the idea of subarchitectures is a
good one, i'd really just use it for "real" subarchitectures.
Just my two cents...
