To use ld.gold configure with:
-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING="-Wl,-use-gold".
ld.gold links the viewer on my machine in 8 seconds, as
opposed to 19 seconds with ld.bfd. Moreover, it uses a
LOT less memory during linking (about 750 MB instead of
2.5 GB!).
VWR-24254: Don't link with fontconfig on non-linux.
While we already added fontconfig in the above patch,
that code turned out to also be used by Windows and
Darwin (contrary to the comments in the code).
After looking at the history of commits and a
discussion on IRC it was decided that the original
coder (Kyle Ambroff <ambroff@lindenlab.com>) really
meant (LINUX AND VIEWER) instead of (NOT LINUX OR VIEWER).
Now using RunBuildTest.cmake to run tut and lscript_lsl tests, inorder to set path to llcommon.dll
Exported a few llcommon apis needed by server components/tests.
Ok, finally got this to a point where it doesn't break the build and I can check
in. llcommon can be built as a shared library (disabled but can be enabled with
cmake cache var LLCOMMON_LINK_SHARED.
reviewed by Mani on tuesday (I still need to get his suggested changes
re-reviewed)
