cd2081d6a8 README.win32: More updates on GLib usage
Remove mentions of the pre-configured glibconfig.h.win32, as it does not
exist anymore.  Also make the 2008/x64 build workarounds clearer.

6888e3278c README.win32: Update build instructions
Let people know that they should use Meson for building GLib under
Visual Studio, and the steps that they may need to know.

a131134918 build: Drop nmake/MSC build system for GLib
It hasn’t been seriously maintained for the best part of 10 years and is
very outdated. The recommended way to build GLib on Windows is now
Visual Studio:

6dfc6fee7b Visual Studio builds: Move project files to win32/
It was suggested that the project files be moved here as we don't actually
need to go two directory layers from $(srcroot), and would help us to
standardize on things in the future across the board.

0dbe5c43df msvc_recommended_pragmas.h: Treat C4819 warnings as errors
Warning C4819 in Visual Studio builds indicates an issue of Visual Studio
2005 and later running on East Asian locales of Windows, which likely
results in broken builds of GLib, Pango, GTK+, and possibly other GNOME
projects such as Cogl and Clutter (and is also an issue when building other
projects like QT and Firefox).

Treat this warning as an error as a result when building GLib-based items
on Visual Studio, and tell people how to remedy this issue correctly.

c83c91a574 Bug 653841: Update README.win32 and VS README.txt's
This relates to my previous commit titled "add a script to generator
files for building" on behalf of Shixin Zeng.

Tell people about the availability of a python script to create the
necessary files for a Visual C++ build from a GIT checkout.

This is done with the courtesy of Shixin Zeng's python script which does
the job and eliminates the troubles of getting a suitable shell environment
to do the "make dist" job (which is especially not easy on Windows itself!)

	* configure.in: Don't use AC_TRY_RUN to test for long long format
	when using the MSVCRT.DLL runtime since we know the answer anyway
	and it causes some mild inconvience when cross compiling.

	* README.win32: Add a reference to the cross compiling section

2001-09-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

	* configure.in: Add variable for LT_CURRENT minus LT_AGE (the
	suffix used by libtool on Win32 for DLLs). Set variables for the
	compiled resource files on Windows. Handle the native Win32
	gthread stuff.

	* glib/Makefile.am
	* gmodule/Makefile.am
	* gobject/Makefile.am: (Win32) Add minor hacks to link in the object
	file produced from the resource file. Use the lt-compile-resource
	script from the build module. The non-hack way would be to teach
	libtool, autoconf and automake about .rc files (which are a kind
	of source code, after all, that gets compiled to object
	files). But then there would be problems for those who wouldn't have
	bleeding edge auto* and libtool.

	* glib/glib.rc.in
	* gmodule/gmodule.rc.in
	* gobject/gobject.rc.in
	* gthread/gthread.rc.in: Update InternalName and OriginalFilename to
	match libtool's naming convention for DLLs.

	* glib/gutils.c: Ditto when constructing the DLL name in the
	definition for GLIB_LOCALE_DIR.

	* glib/makefile.mingw.in
	* gmodule/makefile.mingw.in
	* gobject/makefile.mingw.in

	* glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_msg_create_watch): Owen forgot to
	rename the win32_watch_funcs variable here, too.

	* */makefile.mingw.in: Don't use version number in import library
	name. Use whole version number in DLL name. Use build-dll from the
	build module.

2001-03-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

	* gutils.c (g_path_is_absolute): (Win32) Remove test for initial
	double backslash (UNC path), this will of course be matched by the
	test for an initial G_DIR_SEPARATOR right up front. Silly me.
	(g_find_program_in_path): Implement on Win32.
	(g_get_any_init): (Win32) Also look for the USERPROFILE env var
	indicating the home directory equivalent.

	* testglib.c (main): Test g_find_program_in_path() on Win32 by
	looking for more.com and regedit.exe.

* makefile.mingw.in
* tests/makefile.mingw.in
* build-dll: Rename makefile.cygwin(.in) to
makefile.mingw(.in), which better describes what it is. Move the
build of gmodule, gthread and gobject DLLs to makefiles in those
directories. Move resource file handling and build number bump to
build-dll, where it sits much cleaner.

* README.win32
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update accordingly.

* glib.h: Add G_PI, G_PI_2, G_PI_4, G_E, G_LN2, G_LN10 and
G_SQRT2. M_PI etc aren't necessarily in <math.h> in strict ISO C
implementations.

* glib.def: Add g_strcanon.

* gtree.c (g_tree_node_rotate_left): Remove unused variables.

* gwin32.c (g_win32_opendir): Remove unneeded statement.

gmodule:

* makefile.mingw.in: New file, with gmodule stuff
moved from ../makefile.mingw.in.

* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST, and add rule to make makefile.mingw.

gobject:
* makefile.mingw.in
* gobject.def
* gobject.rc.in: New files, for Win32 (mingw) build.

* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST. Add rules to produce the
corresponding non-*.in files.

* gtype.h: (Win32:) Mark _g_type_fundamental_last for
export/import from DLL.

gthread:
* makefile.mingw.in: New file, with gthread stuff moved from
../makefile.mingw.in.

* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST, add rule to build makefile.mingw.

* glib.h
* gstrfuncs.c (g_filename_to_utf8, g_filename_from_utf8): New
functions for conversion between UTF-8 and the encoding expected
by C runtime functions like open() and stat(), and returned by
readdir().

Implement them on Win32 where we use the system "ANSI" codepage,
which might be single-byte or double-byte. On Unix, just skip the
issue for now and provide dummy implementations that return a copy
of the argument.
