This is a description how Bibledit was ported to the Windows platform.
The solution was chosen to compile on a Windows host with MinGW.
The libgen.h header.
This is not in MinGW.
The solution was to remove the need for libgen.h.
Package sqlite3.
Solution: from www.sqlite.org the source tarball was downloaded and installed
on Windows, using ./configure --prefix=/usr; make; make install.
TCP/IP communications in windowsoutpost.h/cpp.
Some header files were not found, e.g. inet.h, netdb.h, netinet/in.h, socket.h.
The best thing to do seems to port these portion to using winsock.h instead.
Sources:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnucmg/html/UCMGch10.asp
section Sockets and Networking, and the links on that page to the Winsock
documentation.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ioctl.h+site%3Amsdn.microsoft.com&btnG=Google+Search
The temporal solution is to remove support for the Outpost for the time being.
todo Port TCP/IP communications to winsock.h
TCP/IP communications in httpd.h.
Some header files were not found, e.g. inet.h, netdb.h, netinet/in.h, socket.h.
The best thing to do seems to port these portion to using winsock.h instead.
Sources:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnucmg/html/UCMGch10.asp
section Sockets and Networking, and the links on that page to the Winsock
documentation.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ioctl.h+site%3Amsdn.microsoft.com&btnG=Google+Search
The temporal solution is to remove support for the httpd for the time being.
todo Port TCP/IP communications to winsock.h
Filename matching.
Header file fnmatch.h not found.
Used in referenceutils.cpp, bible.cpp, tidy.cpp.
Glib has Glob-style pattern matching that could be used for a replacement, but
it does not support the '[...]' character ranges that bibledit needs.
Solution: Use a unix wrapper for it, so that the original fnmatch is used on
Unix, and a wrapper for on Windows.
Take some version of fnmatch.h and fnmatch.c, and insert it in our code.
Linux Sigals.
Information: search in google for: SIGPIPE site:msdn.microsoft.com
SIGPIPE undeclared, and SIGUSR1 too. Happens in mainwindow.cpp.
Solution: Don't use them in Windows.
File #include <sys/utsname.h> not found.
Solution: If WIN32 is defined, skip the function using this header file, and
just return the Windows variable.
Date and time functions, localtime_r was undeclared.
Solution: Use Glib's portable date and time functions.
Function getuid () not declared on Windows.
Solution: Don't use it on Windows.
During linking, it does not find fnmatch.
Solution: Don't use that library on Windows. Compile fnmatch.h/c and include
the files.
Using amperand (&) to start programs in the background through system()
doesn't work. It waits till the child is ready.
Solution: Use Glib's functions for spawning processes.
A DOS box becomes visible in Windows.
Solution: In the link step add a -mwindows switch to the command line.
Add this switch in the autotools using a WIN32 definition.
Creating directories that already exist.
In Unix, the --parent switch ensures no complains are made about that.
In Windows, the native mkdir complains.
Solution: Let it write the output to /dev/null, or "nul" on Windows.
PACKAGE_DATA_DIR is not found on Windows.
Solution: Use a wrapper that works both in Linux and Windows.
Subprocessed called create a DOS window.
Solution: http://www.codeproject.com/win32/runsilent.asp.
Let the popen calls go through the new spawning object too.
todo: See http://delphi.about.com/od/windowsshellapi/l/aa080304a.htm, or search
google for "listing windows".
Processes are not seen with "ps ax".
Solution:
todo: Solve
When asking Yes/No, the wrong button has focus, see when deleting note.
todo: Solve.
Zip and unzip are not found on Windows.
Solution: Download the zip and unzip packages from http://www.info-zip.org
and include the two executables with the installation package.
todo: Include in installation package.
Terminating process.
todo: See http://win32.mvps.org/processes/fkill.cpp
