armv7s seems to be legacy. (cherry picked from commit 25b0e27)

CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE fixes the issue where system libraries weren't being found. Eg: "SDL_X11 (Wanted: ON): ON" was OFF without this setting. Eg: "Found OpenGL: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenGL.so " was a not found error without this setting. I removed the pkg-config settings since they didn't seem to do anything and I couldn't figure out if they were correct in the first place. I'm assuming CMake figures these out automatically (it should automatically find the host version of the pkg-config executable and I'm *assuming* (please verify) it uses the CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE variable to figure out which set of .pc files to use).

x64/amd64 is handled the same way for consistency.

All native library builds modified in this PR shall attempt to be built by CI.

This is because it otherwise gets confusing in the "run project" dropdown.

Self code review complete. My review comments mainly explain why the changes were made. I didn't make an effort to comment how the code works this time though. This is because I want to rework this setup eventually.

Exanite · 2026-04-19T06:40:32Z

    set(PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE "/usr/bin/${ZIG_ARCH}-${ZIG_OS}-${LINUX_ABI}-pkg-config")
    set(ENV{PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR} "/usr/lib/${ZIG_ARCH}-${ZIG_OS}-${LINUX_ABI}/pkgconfig")
    set(ENV{PKG_CONFIG_PATH} "/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig")
-    set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH "/usr/${ZIG_ARCH}-${ZIG_OS}-${LINUX_ABI}")


This folder doesn't exist on Ubuntu and the include, lib, and bin folders instead have the following format:

/usr/bin/{target-triple} /usr/include/{target-triple} /usr/lib/{target-triple}

Setting CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE lets CMake find these automatically.

I prefixed the OpenAL example project name and folder name since it was confusing in the "run project" dropdown of Rider (and maybe other IDEs).

 )

-call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" arm64


arm64 seems to work when using MSVC, but breaks for Clang. Using amd64_arm64 specifies the host_target setting properly.

Also verified that the output binary is arm64 as intended.

armv7s was breaking the build since Xcode doesn't support it anymore. Looking it up online also shows that armv7s is old and unsupported.

DSDL_TEST_LIBRARY was defaulting to ON and led to some build issues on Linux x64. I've updated all the build scripts to consistently disable it.

These also specify :amd64 purely for consistency.

Executables must use the host architecture, so they are unsuffixed.
Compile dependencies must use the target architecture, so they are suffixed (armhf in this case).

I'll probably convert this .sln file to an .slnx file as my next PR and ensure that Nuke works with the new format (should work after updating Nuke).
