[gaim-migrate @ 17340]
Put gaim-text and the gnt stuff into a gaim-text RPM so that our main RPM doesn't
depend on ncurses.
rpmbuild -ta gaim-2.0.0dev.tar.bz2 doesn't work for me anymore. Did it used to?
Does it work for other people? For me it prints
error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Release field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)
error: License field must be present in package: (main package)
And it creates a file called "tar: Pattern matching characters used in file n
ames. Please," in my ~/rpmbuild/SPECS directory. It does not put gaim.spec
in my ~/rpmbuild/SPECS directory, and it does not put anything in
~/rpmbuild/BUILD or ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES, either

Notes on keeping GAIM OS independant ------------------------------------ General ------- - Use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S and G_DIR_SEPARATOR for paths - Use g_getenv, g_snprintf, g_vsnprintf - Use gaim_home_dir instead of g_get_home_dir or g_getenv("HOME") - Make sure when including win32dep.h that it is the last header to be included. - Open binary files when reading or writing with 'b' mode. e.g: fopen("somefile", "wb"); Not doing so will open files in windows using defaut translation mode. i.e. newline -> <CR><LF> Paths ----- - DATADIR, LOCALEDIR & LIBDIR are defined in wingaim as functions. Doing the following will therefore break the windows build: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s\n", DATADIR G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S "pic.png"); it should be: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s%s%s\n", DATADIR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, "pic.png"); PLUGINS & PROTOS ---------------- - G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. gaim_plugin_init) - G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your dynamic library. (E.G. connections) (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in Win32)
