There seems to be little point in substituting the version number into
README (using autotools). Rename it to README.md and distribute that
verbatim (with autotools and Meson) instead.
Autotools still requires that README exists, so leave a stub README file
in place which redirects people to README.md. This can be dropped when
we drop autotools support.

We have not updated nor used this script for a long time, and nowadays
Meson makes it much easier to build on Windows for either Visual Studio
or MinGW, even straight from a GIT checkout, so it's about time that we
drop the glib-zip script from the source tree.
In master, it is already possible to build GLib using Visual Studio
using Meson[1] for some time, so we should focus on maintaining only the
Meson build files for building GLib with Visual Studio.
[1]: There are caveats when building with Visual Studio 2008, namely
that one needs to use the mt command to embed the manifests that
are generated with the .exe/DLLs, for all builds, and that in the
case where the compilation hangs on Visual Studio 2008 x64, as a
workaround, should stop the build by terminating all cl.exe tasks
and change the compiler optimization flag from /O2 (full speed) to
/O1 (optimize for size), due to compiler optimization issues.
Since automake 1.11.2, it’s recommended to use the prefixed version and
leave the unprefixed version for users to override. Since we depend on
automake 1.13.3, we should be doing this.
Based on a patch by Sam Spilsbury <smspillaz@gmail.com>.

Some of the Meson build files are not dist'ed by 'make dist', which are
reqired for things to work, and there was a missing '\' that cause some
of the meson.build files under tests/ not to be disted.

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.
While we cannot get Valgrind to automatically load this suppression file
for applications which link to GLib
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160905), we can at least install
it on systems in a shared directory, so that developers can use a
standardised (and up-to-date) suppressions file for GLib, rather than
rolling their own.
The file will typically be installed to:
/usr/share/glib-2.0/valgrind/glib.supp
Distributors: it is recommended that this suppression file be installed
as part of the development package for GLib in your distribution.

This causes several problems:
- Compilation in FreeBSD with --enable-gtk-doc broke
- Modules that still use the AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT macro
doesnt compile anymore because /usr/share/glib-2.0/gettext
is not filled with the correct files, as this was done in
the glib custom po/Makefile.in.in
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622991
This reverts commit e5c752371c.
It will be useful to document the major decisions which affect the whole
of GLib in one centralised, easily-greppable file, otherwise they will
get lost forever in Bugzilla.
This file should contain a brief explanation of the decision and its
rationale, plus a link to further discussion (e.g. on a mailing list or
bug report).
This contains an initial discussion about use of compiler attributes in
GLib.

The Makefile rules in glib-tap.mk were copied from an example that
assumed that all the test programs had names ending in ".test", so
they didn't actually have any effect for us and resulted in us still
using the standard automake test driver. Fix this so we actually do
use TAP now.

0192c59937 moved this file from EXTRA_DIST TO
BUILT_EXTRA_DIST for an unknown reason.
Having it here causes the timestamp to be updated during 'make dist' to
something newer than docs/reference/*/Makefile.in. This is a problem
because those Makefile.in are generated by including gtk-doc.make, so
automake becomes convinced that they need to be regenerated. This is a
problem for people who don't have automake installed, or have the wrong
version.
The timestamp problem has been around for quite a while, but it only
became a problem recently after automake changed policy about this in
commit a22717dffe37f30ef2ad2c355b68c9b3b5e4b8c7.
Specifically:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700350
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.
This is installed by automake. By maintaining it in git, we create
merge conflicts as people build with different versions of automake.
Just use 'mkdir -p' instead in gettext. Should be portable enough.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686839
This patch solves two problems:
First, it allows builders to optionally cut the circular dependency
between dbus and glib by disabling the modular tests (just like how
the tests can be disabled in dbus).
Second, the tests are entirely pointless to build if cross-compiling.
It also moves us slightly closer to the long term future we want where
the tests are a separate ./configure invocation and run against the
INSTALLED glib, not the one in the source tree. This would allow us to
run the tests constantly, not just when glib is built.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667806
These were meant to provide the ability to use GLib directly out of its
build tree but have a couple of rather serious limitations that prevent
their serious use:
- these files only worked with programs built using libtool
- for non-trivial uses, other environment variables will need to be
setup to allow GLib to function properly
- the system doesn't stack well when attempting to use multiple
libraries all uninstalled
The jhbuild --prefix= style system works much better in every way, so we
remove this old hack.
Otherwise due to weird things like gtk-doc.make copying files back
into the source directory, we may run into the maintainer mode
bits mistakenly attempting to rerun.
Correspond to GUnixInputStream and GUnixOutputStream. No true async
support though. But that is how the Win32 API is, for files not
explicitly opened for so-called overlapped IO.
The API to create these streams takes Win32 HANDLEs. Not file
descriptors, because file descriptors are specific to the C library
used. The user code and GLib might be using different C libraries.
Also add a test program for the new classes, and a gio-windows-2.0.pc
file.
We use the same rule pango uses to create a ChangeLog file with
the help of git-log. The format is somewhat different from traditional
ChangeLog, but it contains the relevant information.
Update various README files to refer to git instead of svn.
Add a README.commits that is pretty much a copy of the same file
in GTK+. Also discontinue ChangeLog files.
