Update the notes that this is also used for Visual Studio 2015 support,
and correct the MSVC_VER_LONG for MSVC 2015, which is 14, not 2015.
Also add a note that this can be used for other projects that have
Visual Studio build support.
Add a note stating that this script can be copied for use to replace
strings in files when necessary, such as replacing autotools variables
in non-autotools builds, such as Visual Studio builds.
List the files that are generated in the process to generate the
glib-install property sheets, so that we can use that list as a
depedency, as well as deleting those files in one shot after the
property sheet is generated, so we don't need to worry about those
in 'make distclean' or so.
This "adds" the Visual Studio 2015 Project files by doing what we did
before: copying the Visual Studio 2010 projects and replacing items
in them, as the formats of the Visual Studio 201x projects are largely
the same.
Use a simple all-purpose utility script to generate the glib-mkenums
PERL script with the version info, and stop using the script that
tries to parse the autotools files. Move the things that
were taken out from build/win32/setup.py back there.
Update the autotools module so that we can use it to upgrade the
Visual Studio 2010 projects to become Visual Studio 2015-compatible.
Note that this will make the MSVC 2015 builds use the the the latest
VC140 CRT.
Make use of the common autotools module that is used to generate the MSVC
project files from their respective templates so that the main build files
beccome cleaner, and enhance them in a way that the headers that should be
installed can be written to the property sheets during 'make dist', so that
the chances of missing headers for MSVC builds can be greatly reduced.
Also use this autotools module to fill in the projects for
glib-compile-schemas and glib-compile-resources.

This adds a common autotools module that can be used by various
projects to generate the Visual Studio projects as needed, and
if necessary, generate the headers listings to "install" for that
project, based on items passed in to this. This is modelled on the
Makefile.introspection autotools file that is used by many GNOME
projects to generate the introspection files.

The if-else statement added in commit 9bc3ae9 was missing a '\' after the
'else', causing 'make dist/distcheck' to break with "unexpected
end-of-file" errors.
Fix this-didn't notice this when reviewing that patch. My fault. :|
Without this change, out-of-tree distcheck doesn't get very far.
Similarly, allow *.vcxproj, *.props to be in either the builddir or
the srcdir.
Finally, since I'm touching these lines anyway, eliminate some
useless uses of cat: "cat x | sed 's/foo/bar/' > y" is
equivalent to "sed 's/foo/bar/' < x > y".

Make use of pattern rules when generating the Visual Studio 2012/2013
Projects from the Visual Studio 2010 projects, which will help to clean up
the file and also avoid problems when running items like 'make -jN dist'.
Update the .pdb file generation for the MSVC 2010+ DLLs (and the x64 gspawn
helper programs), so that they match the names of the DLLs/EXEs that are
built. Also update the .lib generation so that all will use -$(ApiVersion)
from the property sheets instead of the -2.0 which was previously hard
coded (as we will eventually move into GLib 3.x in the future, for example)
Link to zlib1.lib for all builds, as:
-The notion of zlib1d.lib is rather not standardized across the board for
most cases.
-Easier for the grand all-in-one solution file.
Use the /MP option so that each project can build multiple sources in
parallel, which can cut down release build times by quite a bit. This will
cause a brief warning for debug builds due to their use of /Gm, and builds
would otherwise proceed as they did before.
Unfortunately Visual Studio 2008 is too old to support the /d2Zi+ flag, so
we can't make a better debug situation for it at the moment.
Use Multiprocessor compilation which can cut down build times by quite a
bit and use the /d2Zi+ flag to have better debugging info being logged to
the .pdb for release builds.
These are only applicable for Visual Studio 2010/2012 and later.
Rename the project to "install" the GLib files, as we are planning to have
a grand solution file that would build the entire GTK+ stack with its deps,
to ease the process for people building the GTK+ stack from a stock
installation of Visual Studio.
We are including the autocleanup headers as public headers for all builds,
although they work only for GCC in reality, so "install" them.
Also clean up a bit as we are having "\\" in places, where we only need
"\".
This updates the glib-install.[props|vsprops] so that the headers to
"install" for the build are kept up-to-date. Note that this has been
generated by a script, so that this hopefully means that the header
"installation" can be maintained along with the autotools files for most
uses, to simplify maintenance.
As glib-mkenums would likely be used in the building of the other
components of the stack, such as Cogl, Clutter and
gsettings-desktop-schemas, generate that using a Python script (if Python
can be found) and "install" it.
Be a bit more careful when copying and updating the property sheets, so that
we don't accidently change fields with '10' in them that are actually not
indicating the Visual Studio version.
Currently, due to the way that Visual Studio 2010+ projects are handled,
the "install" project does not re-build upon changes to the sources, as it
does not believe that its dependencies have changed, although the changed
sources are automatically recompiled. This means that if a part or more
of the solution does not build, or if the sources need some other fixes
or enhancements, the up-to-date build is not copied automatically, which
can be misleading.
Improve on the situation by forcing the "install" project to trigger its
rebuild, so that the updated binaries can be copied. This does trigger an
MSBuild warning, but having that warning is way better than not having an
up-to-date build, especially during testing and development.
Like the Visual Studio 2012 project files, the Visual Studio 2013 files are
largely the same as the Visual Studio 2010 project files, so support
Visual Studio 2013 by updating the autotools scripts that is used for
Visual Studio 2012. This means that project files for Visual Studio 2012
and Visual Studio 2013 can be maintained by simply maintaining the Visual
Studio 2010 project files, adding minimal maintenance overhead.
There are many test programs that are shipped with GLib, and this project
is a one-to-one project, which does not make sense to keep as various test
programs may have different CFLAGS, etc, which will require different build
options.
Make the projects include a single property sheet as necessary, which will
in turn include the other property sheet(s) as needed, so that we can avoid
warnings where we include the same property sheets twice in a single
project.
Also make the copying of pre-configured headers into custom build rules so
that they can be removed upon the clean command from the IDE and that they
can be re-copied if their counterpart *.h.win32 are updated.
...where possible, to make application of patches easier in the future.
The README.txt's and the .sln files are still in Windows/DOS line endings
as they need to be so.
Install the Python scripts that is used by gdbus-codegen in
share\glib-2.0\codegen, to be consistent with the other platforms.
Please see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702862 for details
on this.
Due to the split up of the property sheets, the install projects did not
have info on the Intermediate and Output Paths, which caused confusing
messages from Visual Studio to show up upon completing build+"install" and
closing Visual Studio on whether to reload the install project, at least on
Visual Studio 2008.
Include the property sheet which defines these properties to fix this.
Like the Visual Studio 2008 project files, split up the property sheets
so to ease maintenace, and to prepare to use autotools to fill in the
header entries to "install".
Put some of the items that are frequently repeated in the projects as well,
also to simplify maintenance.
Also, update the autotools files to automate the upgrade of Visual Studio
2010 project as we now have multiple property sheets to copy and process.
Split the property sheet into four sheets, to make maintainance of the
build files easier, and also to prepare for using autotools to fill in
the parts for the "installation" of headers.
Also put more of the items that are repeated in the projects into the
property sheets, also to improve ease of maintenance.
Updates to the Visual Studio 2010 projects will come later, as the script
to update them to Visual Studio 2012 must also be taken into account during'
the process.
This is needed for GetAdaptersAddresses()[1], which was used to implement
if_nametoindex on Windows, notably on Windows XP, in commit 01156b12.
if_nametoindex and if_indextoname, as noted in config.h.win32(.in), is
available with Windows Vista and later, so when we eventually drop
support for Windows XP, we can call them directly, and these functions
also reside in the same iphlpapi.lib
