We have a configure.ac check for lib.exe that attempts to enable
creation of .lib files for our 5 public libraries. That has been broken
for a long time for two reasons:
1) the Makefiles hardcode 'lib' instead of 'lib.exe'
2) we dropped generation of .def files quite some time ago (except for
in gthread where we have the two-symbol file under version control)
Add new rules for creating .def files from dumpbin.exe (which you should
have if you have lib.exe) and fix the .lib rules to use lib.exe.
Add a bit of $(AM_V_GEN) all around, as well.

Remove workarounds for NeXTStep (last released in 1995), SunOS (1994),
HP-UX 9.x (1992) and 10.x (1995), OSF/1 / Digital UNIX / Tru64 UNIX
4.x (1999), and AIX 4.x (1999).
HP-UX 11 implements dlopen(), so dropping support for earlier versions
also lets us remove the HP-UX-specific gmodule-dld.

Since the initial addition of BeOS support in 1999, there has only
been one update to it (in 2005, and it wasn't even very big). GLib is
known to not currently build on Haiku (or presumably actual BeOS)
without additional patching, and the fact that there isn't a single
G_OS_BEOS check in gio/ is suspicious.
Additionally, other than the GModule implementation, all of the
existing G_OS_BEOS checks are either (a) "G_OS_UNIX || G_OS_BEOS", or
(b) random minor POSIXy tweaks (include this header file rather than
that one, etc), suggesting that if we were going to support Haiku, it
would probably be simpler to treat it as a special kind of G_OS_UNIX
(as we do with Mac OS X) rather than as its own completely different
thing.
So, kill G_OS_BEOS.

Perform a substantial cleanup of the build system with respect to
building and installing testcases.
First, Makefile.decl has been renamed glib.mk and substantially
expanded. We intend to add more stuff here in the future, like canned
rules for mkenums, marshallers, resources, etc.
By default, tests are no longer compiled as part of 'make'. They will
be built when 'make check' is run. The old behaviour can be obtained
with --enable-always-build-tests.
--disable-modular-tests is gone (because tests are no longer built by
default). There is no longer any way to cause 'make check' to be a
no-op, but that's not very useful anyway.
A new glibtests.m4 file is introduced. Along with glib.mk, this
provides for consistent handling of --enable-installed-tests and
--enable-always-build-tests (mentioned above).
Port our various test-installing Makefiles to the new framework.
This patch substantially improves the situation in the toplevel tests/
directory. Things are now somewhat under control there. There were
some tests being built that weren't even being run and we run those now.
The long-running GObject performance tests in this directory have been
removed from 'make check' because they take too long.
As an experiment, 'make check' now runs the testcases on win32 builds,
by default. We can't run them under gtester (since it uses a pipe to
communicate with the subprocess) so just toss them in TESTS. Most of
them are passing on win32.
Things are not quite done here, but this patch is already a substantial
improvement. More to come.
Some (broken) toolchains for example trip up
-Werror=missing-prototypes in system headers. This patch allows
people to skip the formerly hardcoded "baseline" warnings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694757
Before this commit, the only difference between the expected and actual
ABI were the addition of _init and _fini symbols in each module (now
that regexp-based export control is not catching those).
We only want to control the default visibility for our five main
installable libraries: libglib, libgthread, libgmodule, libgobject,
libgio. We should therefore only set -fvisibility=hidden when building
those.
Use a separate substitution variable for this purpose.
Using CFLAGS directly leads to some modules built in testcases not
exporting their symbols (and then the tests fail). It also affects the
fam file monitoring module.
Colin had originally done it this way in his visibility patch series but
I failed to understand why so I didn't copy it. Now I do.
Also: revert changes made to two testcases in an attempt to work around
this issue.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691756
With visibility now under the control of __declspec(dllexport) we no
longer need to build .def files or use them for building our various
.dll files.
.def files used to be installed (even though it is only really useful
when creating the .dll or .lib file). Don't do that anymore either.
The Makefiles still contain rules to create a .lib file for use with
Visual Studio and these rules require .def files. There are special
requirements to using these rules (like having installed and setup
Microsoft tools for use during the build) and therefore the problem of
creating a .def file for use with them is left open to anyone willing to
make the effort. Many options are available depending on which
toolchain is in use (dlltool, pexport, gendef, dumpbin.exe, just to name
a few).
If we can find a free tool for creating .lib files in the future, we
should probably revisit this issue and add proper support back to our
build system.
When building with MinGW/MSYS with srcdir != builddir the build fails:
- to locate the generated .def files
- creating libglib-gdb.py
- creating libgobject-gdb.py
Solved this by explicitly instructing these files to be generated
in $(builddir)/...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653167
The -e parameter to echo isn't recognized by echo in POSIX sh,
but isn't needed when no escaped characters need to be
interpreted.
This fixes building glib with a mingw cross compiler on Mac OS X.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654085
This is a minimal patch-out of the galias functionality. We will do a
release like this so that we can easily back it out if there are
reported problems.
A more substantial cleanup (mostly removing #includes from every file)
will follow if there are no issues.

* */Makefile.am: More work on enabling static building on
Windows. When building statically: Also define
GOBJECT_STATIC_COMPILATION in glibconfig.h so that also the

2005-07-09 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* configure.in: Don't use autoconf variables for the resource
object files on Win32 any longer. Instead handle that in the
Makefile.am files. Check for windres.
* glibconfig.h.win32.in: Minor tuning to match the
configure-produced glibconfig.h closely.
* */Makefile.am: Don't use the scripts in build/win32 to
compile the .rc file into a resource object file. (This means
we loose the build number increment magic, but I doubt it was
that useful anyway.) Instead use windres directly. To pass the
normal .o file produced by windres through libtool, which
wants .lo files, pass it directly to the linker using a -Wl
option.
* */*.rc.in: Thus replace BUILDNUMBER with 0.
2005-06-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>

* README.win32: Update.

* */Makefile.am: Drop the hand-written makefile.mingw(.in)

maintain the hand-written mingw makefiles.

* glib/Makefile.am

* gthread/Makefile.am: Use srcdir also in references to the .def
files. (#118885, Jeff Bonggren)
2003-03-01 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>
* autogen.sh: require automake 1.7. Add calls to libtoolize and
gtkdocize. Clean up some of the error messages.
* configure.in: move version declaration to the top of the file
(before AC_INIT), using M4 macros.
GLIB_AC_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP() calls no longer necessary, due to use
of M4 macro expansion in help messages instead.
Convert AC_ARG_WITH/AC_ARG_ENABLE calls to use AC_HELP_STRING to
format help strings. Use quadrigraphs to get square brackets to
show correctly.
Replace gtk-doc checks with a call to GTK_DOC_CHECK() macro.
Use AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([glibconfig.h], ...) to output
glibconfig.h, so that "./config.status glibconfig.h" works.
Add an extra AC_CONFIG_FILES call listing other files we want
generated by config.status protected by an "if false" block. This
way automake generates the rules needed to rebuild the files for
us.
Add quotes in various places.
* docs/reference/*/Makefile.am: convert to use the common
gtk-doc.make file. This localises the complexity to a single
makefile fragment maintained with gtk-doc itself.
* */Makefile.am: remove unneeded rules to build win32 files with
config.status. Automake now does this for us.
Replace instances of @FOO@ with $(FOO) where appropriate -- this
allows automake to do a better job checking the makefile.
Add some files to DISTCLEANFILES where appropriate
* Makefile.am: use the DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable to
ensure that --enable-gtk-doc is passed to configure during a
distcheck. Remove the custom distcheck, since the standard one
will now do.
* gobject/Makefile.am: switch to BUILT_SOURCES, since that now
works.
2003-01-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* {glib,gmodule,gobject,gthread}/Makefile.am:
[Win32] Install also the .def files, to help users generate

along with Pango, GTK+ where we need to do that for
bin-compat reasons.
* Makefile.am: Add a slightly modified distcheck rule
that passes --enable-gtk-doc to the configure inside.
(So that 'make dist' succeeds inside.)

Add dummy -rpath argument. On some (but not all) platforms,

* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add README.in, INSTALL.in -
autoconf-2.5x checks for 'make dist' in the tarball
when you make distcheck.

GLIB_DEF, GMODULE_DEF, GOBJECT_DEF and GTHREAD_DEF. For .exp

libtool when building libgplugin_[ab].la, otherwise libtool
doesn't create a DLL, but a static archive.
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.
