Add a workaround for broken dlopen(NULL, 0) implementations, like NetBSD's
one, which don't search in modules opened at runtime to locate symbols
requested through the global handle. The workaround consists in querying
all open modules (not just the main one) when finding a symbol through the
global handle.
This should be fixed in NetBSD, but the check and workaround are needed to
let this work on not-so-old versions of it. The patch has been submitted
to glib developers, too.
This problem exposes, at least, in evolution's settings dialog, where many
widgets can't be created because of missing functions.
and caused lots of obscure problems in programs loading plugins (specially,
gstreamer).
The problem is that the check in the configure script tries to dlopen the
libpthread.so library, but the test program is not linked against libpthread
itself. So it crashes, because this is not supported in NetBSD (the program
was "initialized" as a non-threaded one). I've changed the test program to
use libintl, which seems to work fine.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1.
GLib-2.4 is a stable release adding an incremental improvement
in functionality over GLib-2.2 while maintaining binary and
source compatibility. New features include:
General
* Watches for child process exit integrated into the main loop.
* Unicode tables updated to cover all of Unicode-4.0.
* Standard header file for gettext macros, including Q_() macro
for strings with context.
* Improved seeding for the GRandom random number generator.
Threading
* Atomic operations on integers and pointers.
* GOnce for one-time initialization.
GObject:
* G_DEFINE_TYPE macros for easy definition of GObject types.
* Properties can now be added to interfaces.
* Instance private data allows private data members for objects.
"configure" script which otherwise picks "-pthreads" as the compiler
option for POSIX's Threads.
The real problem is probably that the buildlink3 framework passes
"-pthread" as a compiler option to "configure" and therefore defeats
the probes in the "configure" script. But that's hard to fix.
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
