Removes a warning from HAVE_GCONF not being set, and fixes generation of
a large section that depends on OS_IS_WIN32 being explicitly set to 0.
We can't set OS_IS_WIN32 to 0 by default since a bunch of code uses it
via an ifdef rather than by value.
This was being done automatically by autotools, now we need to manually
specify this for each executable/library with a dependency in a
non-standard directory.
conditions this may lead to massive slowdown of floating point operations
when underflows or denormals are encountered. In particular, this problem
was observed with the soxr resampler after applying
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/merge_requests/120
Therefore this patch adds -ffast-math to the link flags of the pulseaudio
daemon. Linking with -ffast-math adds a procedure set_fast_math() to the
startup code of the daemon. On x86, the procedure sets bit 6 and 15 of the
mxcsr register. When these bits are set, denormals and results of
underflowing operations are truncated to 0.
This is a working implementation of a build with meson. The server,
utils, and most modules build with this, and it is possible to run from
a build tree and play/capture audio on ALSA devices.
There are a number of FIXMEs, of course, and a number of features that
need to be enabled (modules, dependencies, installation, etc.), but this
should provide everything we need to get there relatively quickly.
To use this, install meson (distro package, or mesonbuild.com) and run:
$ cd <pulseaudio src dir>
$ meson <builddir>
$ ninja -C <builddir>
