Siggi Posted February 25, 2017 The make files that come with the Hexen and Heretic source release will run the command "prsucc" once the binary has been made. tic.exe : $(LOCOBJS) $(GLOBOBJS) i_ibm.obj wlink @tic.lnk copy tic.exe striptic.exe wstrip striptic.exe 4gwbind 4gwpro.exe striptic.exe heretic.exe -V prsucc hex.exe : $(LOCOBJS) $(GLOBOBJS) wlink @hex.lnk copy hex.exe striphex.exe wstrip striphex.exe 4gwbind 4gwpro.exe striphex.exe hexen.exe -V copy hex.map v_$(VERSION_ID).map prsucc What is this "prsucc"? 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted February 25, 2017 It's something that says PrBoom succ because it cannot play Heretic and Hexen. Seriously though I think it's just something that signals that the compilation was a success. 0 Share this post Link to post
Siggi Posted February 25, 2017 I mean sure... It's something about the compile process being successful. But what did it do? Is it some in-house Raven thing? Or something more standard from back in the 90s I have not heard of before? Did it upload the build somewhere for the testers? Is this the reason -timedemo demo1 on vanilla Hexen makes the Warrior explode? Maybe they did this on purpose. Just when you think the compile is a success, make tells you it cannot find prsucc. We're going to tell you it worked by marking the build a failure with an error message indicating success. Will this forever remain a mystery? 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted February 25, 2017 Maybe it was a custom cracktro used by Raven that fired up all sorts of crazy scrollers, chiptune music and pics of boobies, when the build was a success. They probably didn't get many of those, so they added this as an incentive? 0 Share this post Link to post
VGA Posted February 26, 2017 Maybe it prints out a success message, does some cleanup and exits with exit code 0. 0 Share this post Link to post
