[gaim-migrate @ 17495]
This should fix the statusbox issues that were keeping us from releasing beta
4 (and which were just really annoying). Thakn sadrul for most of this, I just
added the if (index == -1) bit. Anyway, the way this works now is that for
saved/popular statuses the primitive underlying that status is where the
dropdown for the statusbox starts. If we don't like that we can change it but
I'm not sure we'll find something better.
Also, this might plug a couple leaks, I'm not really sure but it certainly
looks right.
Up next, the patch to make the docklet use the per-protocol statuses in the
top section.
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)
