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)
