This is the wave of the future! Or something like that.
Imma go eat cake later! Yay happy Easter!! Oh crap, I'm probably
going to get in a lot of trouble now. Holiday references, y'know. They're
illegal'n stuff. Or something like that. Personally, I like Christmas, but
it's just too near my birthday, you know? The presents should be spread
out. Birthdays are cool, sometimes. Halloween can be fun. Free candy!
Society says I can't trick-or-treat anymore though, so I take my little
sister around and get candy. Mmm.. Like stealing candy from a baby, except
we share it. So it's not stealing, really. Voluntary. On her part, not
mine, because it'd be stealing if it was my volunteering to take her candy.

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)
