2000-12-22 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de> * configure.in: Determine the suffix of the shared librarries for this system. This is done analogous to ltconfig.sh. G_MODULE_SUFFIX in glibconfig.h is set to either "sl", "dll", or (most often) "so". * tests/Makefile.am, tests/module-test.c, tests/libmoduletestplugin_a.c, tests/libmoduletestplugin_b.c: Added new testcase for gmodule. This is mostly copied from gmodule/testgmodule.c, but unlike that is is quiet. (Why BTW are some tests that verbose, not to say loquacious...) * gmodule.c: Make g_module_open more tolerant wrt to the module name. First it tries to open the module as named, if that fails, it checks, whether it is a libtool archive and parses it, if that fails it appends the systems shared library suffix (i.e. ".so") (if not already found) and tries again and if that fails it tries to append the ".la" libtool suffix (if not already found) and parses it. * gmodule.c: Lock recursive mutex during most module functions for safety. * gmodule-dl.c: Return an error from _g_module_symbol only, if dlerror says so. All other functions return an error as well, if dlerror returns NULL. * testgmodule.c: Thanks to the above change the #ifdefs have vanished. * glib/glib-sections.txt: Added G_MODULE_SUFFIX. * glib/tmpl/modules.sgml: Updated.
*** IMPORTANT *** This is a development version of GLib. You should be using a stable version, which is available at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/. This version is meant for developers of GLib only: * You should not base stable software on this version of GLib. * GNOME developers should use a stable version of GLib. Distributions should *NOT* ship a development package of this GLib. Do not ship the headers and do not ship the glib-config script. These things will conflict with the stable 1.2 series. Package only enough to satisfy the requirements of some other package. Package only the library itself. Doing otherwise will do no favors to the community. If you install this version of GLib, we strongly recommend that you install it in a different prefix than GLib 1.2. Use --prefix as an argument to configure to do this. Otherwise, you will not be able to do development with GLib 1.2 any longer. *** You should be using GLib 1.2 instead. *** General Information =================== This is GLib version 1.3.1. GLib is a library which includes support routines for C such as lists, trees, hashes, memory allocation, and many other things. The official ftp site is: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk The official web site is: http://www.gtk.org/ A mailing list is located at: gtk-list@redhat.com To subscribe: mail -s subscribe gtk-list-request@redhat.com < /dev/null (Send mail to gtk-list-request@redhat.com with the subject "subscribe") Installation ============ See the file 'INSTALL' How to report bugs ================== To report a bug, send mail either to gtk-list, as mentioned above, or to gtk-bugs@gtk.org. If you send mail to gtk-list, you must be subscribed yourself. In the mail include: * The version of GLib * Information about your system. For instance: - What operating system and version - What version of X - For Linux, what version of the C library And anything else you think is relevant. * How to reproduce the bug. If you can reproduce it with the testglib program that is built in the glib/ directory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded. * If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occured. * Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary. Patches ======= Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on ftp.gtk.org. Please follow the instructions there, and include your name and email address in the README file. If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
