[gaim-migrate @ 9041]
Because I won't be able to work on this until late this week at the earliest,
here's GtkIMHtmlToolbar. It's a composite widget that attaches to an editable
gtkimhtml and controls all the formatting with ease. All one has to do to get
a formattable, editable, gtkimhtml now is to replace a gtktextview with a
gtkimhtml (you can even leave all the other calls that control it as gtkimhtml
descends from gtktextview) throw one of these toolbars in there and
gtk_imhtml_toolbar_attach it to the gtkimhtml. That's what I did in the New
Away Message dialog. This would also be nice in gtkrequest.c and gtkpounce.c.
Of course, this isn't done and there's a ton of hacky commented out old code in
there. Things like keyboard shortcut preferences don't currently work and
there's a lot of things I want to move around yet. However, if anyone feels
inspired to work on it before I get back to it feel free. Maybe you can IM me
beforehand or something.
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)
