setup_bundle_symlinks.py creates POSIX symlinks inside versions/*-bundle/
at build time on Linux. These must not be committed to git (they break
Windows clones) but were appearing as untracked (??) entries in git status.
Add precise gitignore patterns that cover all generated symlink paths
(C, Asm, CPP/*.mak, CPP/7zip/*.mak|.h|.rc, CPP/7zip/Archive|Common|...,
CPP/7zip/UI/Agent|Console|...) without hiding the tracked project-owned
sources in Bundles/Nsis7z/ and UI/NSIS/.
Replaces the per-version in-tree build files with a shared overlay that
keeps all project-owned build infrastructure outside the vendor source trees,
making it safe to use vendor directories as pristine git submodules.
Changes:
- Add tools/linux/overlay/makefile.gcc: parameterised makefile that drives
MinGW cross-compilation; VENDOR_7ZIP, DEF_FILE and NSIS_DIR are all
overridable from the command line so no files are written into the vendor
tree at build time.
- Add tools/linux/overlay/include/: case-sensitivity shim headers
(Windows.h, CommCtrl.h, MAPI.h, NTSecAPI.h, Psapi.h, ShlObj.h) that
redirect to the lowercase MinGW system headers; also adds
z7_idecl_noexcept_strip.h which resolves the noexcept-specifier mismatch
in 7-zip 25.01 NSIS UI code.
- Move Nsis7z.def from versions/26.00/…/Bundles/Nsis7z/ to overlay/ (git
rename; content unchanged).
- Delete versions/26.00/…/Bundles/Nsis7z/makefile.gcc (superseded by the
overlay).
- Rewrite tools/linux/build_plugin_linux.py to drive the overlay makefile,
support multiple 7-zip versions (25.01, 26.00, 26.01, zstd) with a
VERSION_LAYOUT table, and add NSIS_DIR auto-detection for bundle-based
builds.
- Add _linux_build/ to .gitignore.
