What (should) work):
- LIBRETRO_DEVELOPER (default 1) to output all build progress
- LIBRETRO_LOG_DIR (default $WORKDIR/log) to change WHERE logs get
written. Useful for buildbots that have multiple WORKDIRs to put
logs in roughly the same place.
- LIBRETRO_LOG_SUPER (default libretro-super.log) to change the name of
libretro-build.sh's log file. No log would be written if unset, but
script-modules/log.sh sets it if unset for now.
- LIBRETRO_LOG_CORE (default %s.log) to change the name pattern for a
core log file. The %s is replaced with the "safe" core name used by
libretro-super's rules.
- LIBRETRO_LOG_APPEND (default ""), if set, would not clobber the log
files the next time you ran libretro-super. Caution: mame's output
is 34 megabytes on its own for a single successful build
What doesn't work yet:
- You should be able to unset LIBRETRO_LOG_SUPER and LIBRETRO_LOG_CORE
and have your decision mean something. This is the #1 thing I must
change, and I will do so in the next day or so.
- We assume that if you want output to screen and log, you'll have the
tee command. What if you don't? We choose log over screen in that
case, but tee is such a trivial tool to implement, perhaps we should?
- Currently logs lack date stamps. Bash's built-in printf has a way to
do this, but Apple STUPIDLY disables it because Apple. Turns out
that bash 2.05a didn't have the feature anyway. You may not have the
UNIX date command on Windows if you're somehow running bash from
cmd.exe. Worse, you have a command of the same name that requires a
/t argument to do half of what date does on UNIX. Running into
limits of bash here, easily solved using most anything else.
