blender_add_lib now takes a separate include argument to suppress warnings in system includes (mostly ffmpeg & python).
also only build wm_apple.c on apple+carbon configuration.
- rename 'name', 'dir' --> 'filepath' where these actually represent a file path to avoid confusion.
- bugfix for possible (but unlikely) uninitialized string.
- remove commented script append function, now we have a python api for this.

##############
This patch fix anti-aliasing (multisampling) implementation for win32 platform. It also gives opportunity to embed blenderplayer inside parent window.
Usage:
blenderplayer.exe -i 123456 -m 16 file.blend
where:
123456 - parent window handler (integer, default: 0)
16 - multisample level (integer, default: 0, max: 16. Put there maximum level you want. If not supported, player will automatically try 15,14,13,...,3,2,1)
##############
This patch was originally created as part of the Burster (aka webplugin) project but benefit any one embedding the bge in a custom OpenGL context. By the way, to embed the BGE in a .Net application is really straightforward now =)
The Multisampling work for blenderplayer as a whole.
Missing functionalities:
- to expose the multisampling to the ui (so far it only works in console)
- window focus and keyboard messages for embedded blenderplayer (supported in their previous patch for 2.49, yet to be ported over)
- handle resizing (to be investigated, indeed the changes in getState() in GHOST_WindowWin32.cpp are going to get in the way of that if I'm not mistaken. To be addressed together.
Doxygen documentation to be added whenever I sort out how to do so. Sorry Nathan too many stuff to deal with at the same time. The sooner this patch gets in, the sooner the missing functionalities can be patched on top of that.
----------------------------------
While we are more and more moving towards enabling features in the Python API, it's also important to have Logic Bricks working with no scripts.
This option allows you to start the game with the mouse cursor on (it's on Render Buttons). The defalt is still off (no do_version needed here).
Problem/Bug:
------------
There were no way to have proper unicode characters (e.g. Japanese) in Blender Game Engine. Now we can :)
You can see a sample here: http://blog.mikepan.com/multi-language-support-in-blender/
Functionality Explanation:
--------------------------
This patch converts the Blender Font Objects to a new BGE type: KX_FontObject
This object inherits KX_GameObject.cpp and has the following properties:
- text (the text of the object)
- size (taken from the Blender object, usually is 1.0)
- resolution (1.0 by default, maybe not really needed, but at least for debugging/the time being it's nice to have)
The way we deal with linked objects is different than Blender. In Blender the text and size are a property of the Text databock. Therefore linked objects necessarily share the same text (and size, although the size of the object datablock affects that too). In BGE they are stored and accessed per object. Without that it would be problematic to have addObject adding texts that don't share the same data.
Known problems/limitations/ToDo:
--------------------------------
1) support for packed font and the <builtin>
2) figure why some fonts are displayed in a different size in 3DView/BGE (BLF)
3) investigate some glitches I see some times
4) support for multiline
5) support for more Blender Font Object options (text aligment, text boxes, ...)
[1] Diego (bdiego) evantually will help on that. For the time being we are using the "default" (ui) font to replace the <builtin>.
[2] but not all of them. I need to cross check who is calculating the size/dpi in/correctly - Blender or BLF. (e.g. fonts that work well - MS Gothic)
[3] I think this may be related to the resolution we are drawing the font
[4] It can't/will not be handled inside BFL. So the way I see it is to implement a mini text library/api that works as a middlelayer between the drawing step and BLF.
So instead of:
BLF_draw(fontid, (char *)text, strlen(text));
We would do:
MAGIC_ROUTINE_IM_NOT_BLF_draw(fontir, (char *)text, styleflag, width, height);
[5] don't hold your breath ... but if someone wants to have fun in the holidays the (4) and (5) are part of the same problem.
Code Explanation:
-----------------
The patch should be simple to read. They are three may parts:
1) BL_BlenderDataConversion.cpp:: converts the OB_FONT object into a KX_FontObject.cpp and store it in the KX_Scene->m_fonts
2) KetsjiEngine.cpp::RenderFonts:: loop through the texts and call their internal drawing routine.
3) KX_FontObject.cpp::
a) constructor: load the font of the object, and store other values.
b) DrawText: calculate the aspect for the given size (sounds hacky but this is how blf works) and call the render routine in RenderTools
4) KX_BlenderGL.cpp (called from rendertools) ::BL_print_game_line:: Draws the text. Using the BLF API
*) In order to handle visibility of the object added with AddObject I'm adding to the m_scene.m_fonts list only the Fonts in a visible layer - unlike Cameras and Lamps where all the objects are added.

Thanks Benoit for the review and adjustment suggestions.
Thanks Diego for the BFL expertise, patches and support (Latin community ftw)
Thanks my boss for letting me do part of this patch during work time. Good thing we are starting a project in a partnership with a Japanese Foundation and eventual will need unicode in BGE :) for more details on that - www.nereusprogram.org - let's call it the main sponsor of this "bug feature" ;)
Simple python benchmark shows this to be about 3x faster in the case where an update isn't needed.
This also speeds up rna function argument parsing, since each arg in a function call did 2 string lookups on the context which were never needed.
globbing vs explicit is discussed here.
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2008-December/025694.html
Practical implications are:
- developers need to keep CMakeLists.txt files up to date.
- Users wont get strange linking errors if they build after a file is added, since CMake detects CMakeLists.txt is modified and automatically reconfigure.
Both stored the filename of the blend file, but G.sce stored the last opened file.
This will make blender act differently in some cases since a relative path to the last opened file will no longer resolve (which is correct IMHO since that file isnt open and the path might not even be valid anymore).
Tested linking with durian files and rendering to relative paths when no files is loaded however we may need to have some operators give an error if they are used on the default startup.blend.
- omit render code from this warning (cmake only), until render branch is merged.
- moved -Wunused-parameter warning to apply to all C code in blender (not just ./source/blender), (cmake only).
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
The FullScreen state was never set. Therefore the window boundary was returning the wrong dimensions (it was assuming that it was not fullscreen).
* Note: blender.exe -W has a similar problem. We are working on that ...
Tested in Windows only. If someone can test in Linux and OSX please let me know if it's good there as well. To test it: ./blenderplayer -f myfile.blend
After last commit I realized that we have a different behavior when running blenderplayer or a runtime. Reason being is that when running blenderplayer the filename is mandatory. While in runtime mode it has no use for it (it can still be passed, but it makes no difference).
I also updated the -h (help) message to be multiplataform and to pass the filename argument only when in blenderplayer mode.
If someone wants to have fun it would be nice to port the blender new parsing code to the gameplayer.
* note: how come "noaudio" is used in the examples but it's not in the options list? *ouch*
I'm leaving as it's in case noaudio get implemented ...
argc always include the filename, therefore all the optional parameters should check for < argc instead of <=argc.
E.g. That was causing "blenderplayer -f 800 600 myfile.blend" to play in a wrong Bpp (since it was trying to parse the filename to fullScreenBpp).
Bug introduced on rev. 16448 (in 2.49) and merged to 2.5 in rev. 19323
