Tim Janik 87c7aeb93b 18:36. incorporated proposed cleanups from gtk-devel-list.
Sat Jul 24 20:11:35 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * merged GLib 1.3.0 with glib-1.2.3 from Fri Jul 16 22:18:36.
        * incorporated proposed cleanups from gtk-devel-list.

        * bumped version number to GLib-1.3.1

        * glib.h:
        * gqueue.c:
        * gstring.c:
        * glist.c:
        removed string tokenisation (we got g_strsplit() and g_strjoin()
        already) and readline functions.
        s/g_list_delete/g_list_delete_link.
        implemented g_slist_delete_link.
        removed notion of g_ATEXIT() macro in glib.h, this is an *internal*
        macro, g_atexit() is provided for public consumption.
        added GTrashStack inline utility functions.
        reimplement double eneded queues.
        removed GStack implementation, people can use a queue or a (singly)
        linked list for this task.
        deprecated g_strescape(), we need the SunOS variants here.

        * gdate.c: added DEBUG_MSG() macro to wrap old messages.

        * *.*: CVS merges.

        * upgrade to libtool 1.3.3.

Simple install procedure
========================
% gzip -cd glib-1.3.1.tar.gz | tar xvf - # unpack the sources
% cd glib-1.3.1 # change to the toplevel directory
% ./configure # run the `configure' script
% make # build GLIB
[ Become root if necessary ]
% make install # install GLIB
The Nitty-Gritty
================
The 'configure' script can be given a number of options to enable
and disable various features. For a complete list, type:
./configure --help
A few of the more important ones:
* --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[ Defaults to /usr/local ]
* --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[ Defaults to the value given to --prefix ]
Options can be given to the compiler and linker by setting
environment variables before running configure. A few of the more
important ones:
CC : The C compiler to use
CPPFLAGS : Flags for the C preprocesser such as -I and -D
CFLAGS : C compiler flags
The most important use of this is to set the
optimization/debugging flags. For instance, to compile with no
debugging information at all, run configure as:
CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure # Bourne compatible shells (sh/bash/zsh)
or,
setenv CFLAGS -O2 ; ./configure # csh and variants
Installation directories
========================
The location of the installed files is determined by the --prefix
and --exec-prefix options given to configure. There are also more
detailed flags to control individual directories. However, the
use of these flags is not tested.
One particular detail to note, is that the architecture-dependent
include file glibconfig.h is installed in:
$exec_pref/lib/glib/include/
if you have a version in $prefix/include, this is out of date
and should be deleted.
A shell script glib-config is created during the configure
process, and installed in the bin/ directory
($exec_prefix/bin). This is used to determine the location of glib
when building applications. If you move glib after installation,
it will be necessary to edit this file.
