(17:31:55) SimGuy: LSchiere2: because the person that redid it didn't think
to move the CPWs since they only have one field
(17:32:05) SimGuy: the others are all multiple pieces of data
(17:32:07) LSchiere2: its confusing and inconsistent now
(17:48:00) SimGuy: LSchiere2:
http://kevin.simguy.net:8888/patches/gaim-cpw-structify.diff
(17:48:03) SimGuy: that should apply to both
(17:48:16) SimGuy: the patch to util.c just fixes a spelling error in a
comment I fixed like 6 weeks ago
(17:48:59) SimGuy: er, both being HEAD and oldstatus

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)
