Committing this now so that I don't accidentally destroy it again.
We're going WYSIWYG, folks. This is the beginning of it. Don't bother
trying to tell me what doesn't work yet. This is just a sneak-peek.
Bold, Italics, and Underline work fairly well. The toggle buttons in the
tooltips won't necessarily be accurate yet, and things will get screwed up
if you say, start typing, make something bold, then go back to before where
you started typing and type there. It'll all be fixed eventually.
NOTE: I am not liable for any sexual arousal caused by using this code

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"); - When writing out paths to .gaimrc, use wgaim_escape_dirsep. This is necessary because the Windows dir separator '\' is being used to escape characters, when paths are read in from the .gaimrc file. 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)
