Debug libraries now have the same name as normal libraries (i.e. no "_d"
suffix). This reduces the possiblity of multiple libraries being loaded
into the same executable.
Added dragonfly OS to make targets.
Spaces and backslashes are no longer allowed in paths used by the
make package (e.g. with Windows OS). The libraries can still use native
paths.
existing GNUstep configuration files.
Explicitly set the path to the global configuration file, because
otherwise a system-dependent default pathname for GNUstep.conf is used,
which often does not match ${PREFIX}.
Bumped PKGREVISION.
The `GNUstep.conf' file is now viewed as the essential determination of
the install location for GNUstep libraries, tools and other files.
During configuration, this file is read, if it exists, to determine
this information. This can still be overriden with environment and
command line options, however. See the filesystem documentation in the
GNUstep Make Documentation directory for more information.
You no longer need to source GNUstep.sh in order to compile GNUstep
programs. All that is needed is the definition of GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES.
You should also have the GNUstep system tools directory in your path.
All netbsd systems are assumed to use ELF libraries. Support for the
old static libs version of netbsd was removed.
Serveral new options were added to configure to change the location
of basic dir locations and basic configuration files. Also, the help was
greatly improved. Note that -prefix=/usr/GNUstep/System no longer
works. Please use -prefix=/usr/GNUstep or
-with-system-root=/usr/GNUstep/System.
A few more fixes for cygwin are included as well as Windows resource
rules.
Support for ObjC++ has been added. You should list the ObjC++ .mm
files in the xxx_OBJCC_FILES variable, and put extra ObjC++ flags in
xxx_OBJCCFLAGS or ADDITIONAL_OBJCCFLAGS.
* New rules for building and using DLLs were implemented. Now gcc
and other tricks are used to properly export symbols, so no .def
file should be needed.
* The GNUsteprc file in $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is deprecated. See the
new GNUstep.conf file (which is not installed by default).
* Psuedo-framwork support was implemented on MingW. This essentially
involves copying the framework to several places so it can be used
without links, which Windows does not really support. There's no
other clean way to do it.
* Support for xxx_WINDRES_FILES on MinGW was implemented.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
* a GNUsteprc file is now automatically created and installed in
$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT, which sets the system-wide default for the
user root directory (default=~/GNUstep, which can be overriden
with the `--with-user-root' argument to configure, or by modifying
GNUsteprc after configuration.)
* make_services is not run by GNUstep.sh anymore. You must run this
manually now (see the gnustep-gui documentation).
* Palettes use a plist instead of a strings format file now for the
palette.table file.
* You can use the `--enable-native-objc-exceptions' argument to
configure to enable use of built in objc exceptions with compilers
that support it.
Changes in version `1.9.1'
==========================
* Remove `--disable-import' option
* README.Darwin for darwin/MacOSX install
* Framework version and naming clarified.
Changes in version `1.9.0'
==========================
* Support for building in a separate build dir.
* Add `--enable-strip-makefiles' option to configure
* List of classes in a framework gets written to the plist file.
Read the NEWS file for a complete list of changes since the last
stable release. The major difference from 1.6.0 is that the locations
of certain directories have changed. Generally this will not cause a
problem unless your GNUstep directory is shared by multiple machines
running this and earlier (1.6.x) versions of the software.
Make now configures by default for only one system. To compile and
run GNUstep for multiple platforms from the same directory, use the
configure argument -enable-multi-platform.
* Auto-build def file for DLLs
* Work natively on MacOSX systems. Now use apple-apple-apple instead
of nx-nx-nx on OSX systems.
* More efficient checks for re-making a project.
alpha, and probably pmax) show up as 'netbsd' while others (such as i386)
show up as 'netbsdelf'. Should fix problems on all ELF systems which
come up as 'netbsd'.
Changes in version `1.5.1'
==========================
* Framework support rewritten, also supports multiple names.
* API change: Replace frameowork's xxx_TOOLS by xxx_COPY_INTO_DIR.
* Unified link commands between libraries and frameworks
(LIB_LINK_*).
* New 'make strings' target for localization support.
* Speed improvements.
* Doesn't try to build OSX bundle on GNUstep and vice versa.
* API change: Tools/Subproj can have resources.
* API change: TOOL_INSTALL_DIR.
