Merge in current Win32 version. Almost no Unix code touched.
* README.win32: More text.
* config.h.win32 glibconfig.h.win32: Update to match the
corresponding generated files on Unix.
* makefile.msc: Update with new source files, and gthread
library. Use the compiler flag -MD instead of using -D_DLL and
"/nodefaultlib:libc msvcrt.lib" in the link phase.
* glib.def: Include new functions, drop removed ones.
* glib.h: Add comments about main loop and polling on Win32. (In
general, it's only for the GIMP's use.) Add Win32 IO Channel
functions. Remove the obsoleted old IO Channel stuff (which was
in #if 0 already).
* giowin32.c: New file.
* gmain.c: Include config.h, conditionalize <sys/time.h>
inclusion. Add g_poll implementation for Win32 (only for the
GIMP's needs for now, it's hard or even impossible to be as clean
and generic as on Unix). Implement g_get_current_time on Win32. If
threads aren't supported, don't try to wake up main thread's
loop. On Win32, use a semaphore and not a pipe to wake up the main
loop.
* gmessages.c: On Win32, allocate a console window if the standard
output handle is invalid before writing to stdout, and reopen stdout
to that console window.
* giochannel.c: Conditionalize unistd.h inclusion. Some indentation
cleanup.
* gstrfuncs.c: Include <signal.h>.
* gutils.c: On Win32, also check the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
environment variables.
* gmodule-dl.c gmodule-dld.c: In
_g_module_build_path, don't add the "lib" prefix and
".so" or ".sl" suffix if already there.
* gmodule-win32.c: Likewise for the ".dll" suffix.
* gthread-posix.c: Conditionalize <sys/time.h> inclusion.

|
|
native Windows, and pre-built binary packages, see
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/ . "Native" means that we use the
|
|
|
|
|
Win32 API only, and not any POSIX emulation layer except that provided
|
|
|
|
|
by the Microsoft runtime C library. Additionally the pthreads
|
|
|
|
|
emulation library is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As for now, to build GLib on Win32, you need the Microsoft compiler
|
|
|
|
|
and tools. Both the compiler from MSVC 5.0 and MSVC 6.0 have been used
|
|
|
|
|
successfully.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before building you must get the pthreads library for Windows from
|
|
|
|
|
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/pthreads-win32/. Edit the location of the
|
|
|
|
|
pthreads library and include files in makefile.msc. Also edit the BIN
|
|
|
|
|
definition in makefile.msc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build with `nmake -f makefile.msc`. Install with `nmake -f
|
|
|
|
|
makefile.msc install`.

Support for building using the cygwin tools (without depending on the
|
|
|
|
|
cygwin runtime, i.e. "mingw32"), and maybe LCC-Win32 might be added
|
|
|
|
|
later. When using the cygwin tools *with* the cygwin runtime the
|
1999-01-19 22:13:59 +01:00
|
|
|
normal Unix configuration method should work as if on Unix (knock on
|
|
|
|
|
wood).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With a little work, it might be possible to use the ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism also with a "mingw32" configuration. I.e. building GLib for
|
1999-02-25 22:34:25 +01:00
|
|
|
Win32 would use the cygwin tools (and runtime), but the produced
|
|
|
|
|
libraries would not depend on the cygwin runtime being present.

The following preprocessor macros are used for conditional compilation
|
|
|
|
|
related to Win32:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- WIN32 is defined when compiling for the Win32 platform, regardless
|
1999-02-25 22:34:25 +01:00
|
|
|
if using the X11 or Win32 windowing API (in the case of GLib, this
|
|
|
|
|
dimension isn't significant), regardless whether using a more or
|
|
|
|
|
less complete POSIX emulation runtime layer (like Cygwin) or not.
|
1999-01-19 22:13:59 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- NATIVE_WIN32 is defined when compiling for Win32, *and* without
|
1999-02-25 22:34:25 +01:00
|
|
|
any POSIX emulation, other that to the extent provided by the
|
1999-01-19 22:13:59 +01:00
|
|
|
(Microsoft) C library, or the pthreads-win32 library. For instance,
|
|
|
|
|
pathnames use the native Windows syntax.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- _MSC_VER is defined when using the Microsoft compiler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently the Win32 port uses the combination with all three of those
|
|
|
|
|
on, but eventually the cygwin compiler and tools will be supported
|
|
|
|
|
also, and in that case _MSC_VER wouldn't be defined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the usage of these macros is probably a bit mixed up, and will
|
|
|
|
|
have to be straightened out when actually trying other combinations.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
The pthreads for Win32 package that the thread support uses isn't
|
|
|
|
|
released yet, and thus threads really should not be relied upon.
