2001-02-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi> Cygwin support contributed by Stefan Ondrejicka <ondrej@idata.sk>. Hopefully I got it all in while simultaneously adding support for auto*/libtool for mingw. * Makefile.am: Changes for auto* support on Cygwin and Win32. Do still distribute the hand-written makefiles and *.win32.in files, though. Use GIO, GSPAWN and PLATFORMDEP macros set by configure. Use -no-undefined. Pass -export-symbols glib.def to libtool. * configure.in: Define G_PLATFORM_WIN32 on both pure Win32 (mingw) and Cygwin. Add AC_CYGWIN, AC_EXEEXT and AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL calls for Cygwin and mingw support. Check for %I64u guint64 format (in MS C library). Set G_MODULE_IMPL on mingw and Cygwin. Use ac_object and ac_exeext. Set GIO, GSPAWN, PLATFORMDEP and G_LIBS_EXTRA. Compile timeloop only on Unix. Define OS_WIN32 automake conditional on Win32. * glib.h: Include gwin32.h also on Cygwin. * gfileutils.c (get_contents_posix): Use O_BINARY (defined as 0 on Unix) for Cygwin's sake. * gtimer.c (GETTIME): Reduce #ifdefs, use a macro GETTIME(). * gconvert.c * gthread.c * gutf8.c * gutils.c: For code needed both on Cygwin and native Win32, test for G_PLATFORM_WIN32. * gtypes.h: Refine GLIB_VAR definition. Also check for DLL_EXPORT in case compiling a static library on Win32 or Cygwin. * gwin32.c: No <direct.h> on Cygwin. No need for ftruncate() or dirent emulation on Cygwin. (get_package_directory_from_module) Convert return value from GetModuleFileName() to POSIX path on Cygwin. * tests/Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Link with libglib, libgthread and libgmodule as appropriate. Use -no-undefined. * gbacktrace.c: Move #ifdefs around a bit on Win32. * gshell.c (unquote_string_inplace): Make static.
*** 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".
