# mtcompile-program-local.py

## Differences from mtcompile-program.pl

### Added
- Use $HOME/git/minetest if present INSTEAD of newline

### Removed
- EdgyTest options are mostly not present.
- FlagFakeMT4 options are mostly not present.
- FlagOldProto options are mostly not present.


## Known Issues
- [ ] Detect the number of cores instead of using `NUMJOBS = 2`
  (enforce a range of 1 to 3 like the original?)

Then manually fix functions:
- [x] pushd
- [x] popd
- [x] RunCmd
- [x] add `customExit` to replace `die`

Then manually fix uses of:
(errors caused by uhayat/perl2python)
- [x] `-f` perl feature
- [x] `-d` perl feature
- [ ] `segment` variable
- [x] Implement a `pushd` function
- [x] Implement a `popd` function
- [x] Implement a `GetOptions` function
- [x] use triple quotes for instances of `END` or other self-defined
      stream end after `<<`
- [x] implement a `RunCmd` function
- [x] `die..if` (change to `if...customExit`)
- [x] `die..unless` (change to `if not...customExit`)
- [x] python2-style `print` without parenthesis
- [x] `TRUE` and `FALSE` (change to `True` and `False`)
- [ ] errant adding of spaces around equal signs within strings
- [x] errant use of `evalSed` without an input (`a =~ b` should become
      `a = evalSed(a, b)` not `evalSed(b)`)
- [x] commented `exit` statements (they should not be commented)
- [x] use of `str` as a variable (should only be used as a builtin
      Python function) (replace all with tmpStr)
- [ ] commented `open` commands
