Change build flags in Godot 4 docs to current variants #6375
Conversation
Changelog: - `target=release_debug` -> `optimize=speed_race` - `target=release` -> `optimize=speed` - use `production=yes` as default option for production builds - remove headless compilation as current way to do this is non-obvious with current build targets available, should be added before merging
Also uses right LTO flag
|
NB: seems to complement #6316, which gets some of the other changes I mentioned but didn't figure out wrt headless builds etc. However, that PR does not seem to cover the production optimization flag changes. |

Was this functionality removed?
Can't find anything in the original PR: godotengine/godot#66242

As I mentioned in the original post, I couldn't find how to do this, so I removed it so as not to give bad instructions. I'll probably revert this because another PR seems to fix the headless build instructions.

#6316 has been merged, so this needs a rebase, if there is still some information worth adding, or we should close this if there isn't anything. |

I think this should be closed. If the creator thinks there is still information to be added we can re-open. |

Closing as per the above discussion. Please ping for a reopen if there is still important information to add to the current page, in which case this PR needs to be updated/rebased - or open a new one. Thanks for contributing! |
I was trying to follow the build instructions for production and found that at some point on
masterthe flags inSConstructhad changed - in particular thetargetvalues now only includeeditor,template_release, andtemplate_debug. I made my best guess at the proper ones to use, this probably needs a revision pass by someone who builds Godot from source more often than me.In particular, I had to remove the documentation for the
headlesssection, as it's not entirely clear fromSConstructwhat you'd pass to do it. This probably also needs to be changed on the other platforms, but I haven't had the opportunity to check that yet.Changelog:
target=release_debug->optimize=speed_tracetarget=release->optimize=speed(may also needdebug_symbols=no?)production=yesas default option for production builds
