Description

There are several OS/2 patches for glib out there. We should incorporate them all here, if not already done (when appropriate).

comment:1 by dmik, 13 years ago

I have two patch sets. One from the glib-2.6.5 archive (found on Hobbes) and another one from Paul Smedley for glib-2.18.4.

It seems that many glib-2.6.5 patches are already applied. But there are some more left. It needs to be checked which of them are still relevant (some may be not since libc has changed a lot since then and we implement the Unix env much better now). The original patch is attached with the .orig extension, the reminter (excluding which was is applied and which is certainly not necessary) -- with .diff.

The Paul's patch is rather cosmetic but needs to be checked as well.

Note also that the gio library and some tests don't currently build (some stuff needs to be ported to OS/2 first) so I disabled it in r489.

Note also that DLLs have full names now: gmodule2.dll, gthread2.dll etc (I find it more convenient).

I have added the native g_spawn implementation (that uses spawn() instead of fork()) from the 2.6.5 patch to SVN. See r498.

Will use this defect to track progress of building the current trunk which is at level 2.33.12 (the current RPM build is 2.25.15). For some reason Yuri didn't release RPMs for 2.33.12.

Yuri, could you please tell why you did never release 2.33.12?

Anyway, I'm now reconfiguring glib with all our new and shiny autoconf/libtool. This draws some commits useless. I will roll them back. Also, the naming scheme for the Glib DLLs will change to follow the libtool's version-info logic (followed by all other platforms). The current base name of e.g the glib library itself is libglib-2.0 which gives us libglib-2.0.so.N on linux where N is the CURRENT-AGE number. Currently, this equals to 0. On OS/2, we will shorten the base name to glib2 (as it is already is) but N will also be added due to recent changes in libtool. So on OS/2 this will give us glib20.dll. This is incompatible with the current name glib2.dll so all projects using RPM Glib will need to be rebuilt (I only recall the Firefox IcedTea Web Java plugin so far).

After a series of fixes (including libtool) It /almost/ builds now. However, one of the generators in gio/tests fails with the following message:

  GEN      test_resources.c
GLib (gthread-posix.c): Unexpected error from C library during 'pthread_rwlock_init': Invalid argument.  Aborting.

Looks like it uses the unimplemented part of our pthread. I will quickly look at it tomorrow. If it's not easily solvable, I will disable gio/tests.

I had to disable tests completely with --disable-modular-tests in order to make it build (and created #43 to solve this issue later). Now glib 2.33.12 finally builds (after a small fix in r913). I will create an RPM later after testing it more with the new version of the Iced Tea plugin (http://trac.netlabs.org/java/ticket/230).

New glib a new primitive, GWakeup. The old OS/2 fix that used socketpair instead of pipe vanished as a result of this change. This broke event loop processing, see http://trac.netlabs.org/java/ticket/230#comment:6 for details. I need to resurrect it.

comment:9 by dmik, 10 years ago

Fixed this in r915.

@ydario thanks for taking care of Russian and Ukrainian locales in r1604. What I don't like though is that this code is applied to the FreeBSD case which makes the current patch not applicable upstream. Can you please fix it so that the default charset is set only on OS/2 and not on FreeBSD?

comment:14 by Yuri Dario, 8 years ago

Done in committed revision r1640.

comment:15 by Yuri Dario, 8 years ago

gettext is not using charset.alias because it embeds the list of known codepage aliases. Since the source code is the same, I added the missing bits.

glib: use gettext code to embed codepage aliases. ticket#14.
Sending libcharset/localcharset.c
Committed revision r1643.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

most of the fixes are applied, so I close this issue. a way newer glib2 port is on the way. see http://github.com/bitwiseworks/glib2-os2
