" An update to com_err on debian appears to have broken
the ability of the zephyr plugin to compile with krb4.
Here's a patch, tested against comerr-dev
2.1-1.34+1.35-WIP-2004.01.31-1 in debian, and an older
version of com_err local to MIT, that fixes this. I
haven't tested this against non-kerberized zephyr, or
against other versions of com_err. A lot of the comerr
(error table) related code appears to be unnecessary.
This also fixes two other issues:
1) Upon each login, every entry in the "Anyone" group
was getting added to the Buddies group. I didn't notice
this earlier, since I usually don't restart gaim very
often.
2) No more compile warnings.
This also replaces occurrences of ZGetSender and
ZGetRealm with gaim_zephyr_get_sender and
gaim_zephyr_get_realm(),
in preparation for getting gaim to alternately use an
external program, "tzc" to talk to zephyr."

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"); - When writing out paths to .gaimrc, use wgaim_escape_dirsep. This is necessary because the Windows dir separator '\' is being used to escape characters, when paths are read in from the .gaimrc file. 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)
