Proposal: drop the hard dependency on mingw32-gettext from mingw32-glib2
by Erik van Pienbroek 07 May '11

07 May '11

Hi, Recently I was browsing the upstream GTK website and I noticed that upstream has used a special trick to build the Win32 binaries for GLib. In order to make the dependency on gettext a soft one they used a small static wrapper library called libproxy-intl [1]. With this wrapper library the GLib DLL doesn't depend directly anymore on libintl-8.dll (from mingw32-gettext). The wrapper library makes the hard dependency a runtime one. This means that if libintl-8.dll is bundled with the application then gettext translations will be used, otherwise nothing gets translated. I'd like to propose that we apply this change as well in our Fedora MinGW toolchain. Such a change consists of the following smaller changes: - Bundle the libproxy-intl code (1 .c file and 1 .h file) in the mingw32-gettext srpm as additional source files - Compile the libproxy-intl code with these 2 instructions: %{_mingw32_cc} -c libintl.c -o libintl.o -I. %{_mingw32_ar} rc libintl.a libintl.o - Replace the files libintl.{a,.dll.a,.la} generated by the gettext compilation with the libintl.a file from libproxy-intl. This makes any binary which tries to link against mingw32-gettext using '-lintl' have a soft-dependency on libintl. After this a simple rebuild of mingw32-glib2 should be sufficient enough to make mingw32-gettext a soft dependency. Next to glib2 there are also some other packages which have a hard dependency on libintl-8.dll: $ repoquery --whatrequires 'mingw32(libintl-8.dll)' mingw32-atk-0:1.32.0-1.fc14.noarch mingw32-gdk-pixbuf-0:2.22.0-1.fc14.noarch mingw32-glib2-0:2.26.0-1.fc14.noarch mingw32-gnutls-0:2.6.4-3.fc13.noarch mingw32-gtk-vnc-0:0.4.1-1.fc14.noarch mingw32-gtk2-0:2.22.0-1.fc14.noarch mingw32-gtkhtml3-0:3.32.0-1.fc14.noarch mingw32-gvnc-0:0.4.1-1.fc14.noarch mingw32-hunspell-0:1.2.8-11.fc12.noarch mingw32-libglade2-0:2.6.4-4.fc12.noarch mingw32-libidn-0:1.14-5.fc12.noarch Most of these packages (if not all) don't use gettext directly, but get linked against gettext because of it being mentioned in glib2's pkgconfig and .la files. A rebuild should be sufficient to replace the hard dependencies on those packages by soft ones. However, in order to prevent the libproxy-intl functions from being exported in other DLL's (as mentioned on [1]) I think it's better drop the reference to libintl from glib2's pkgconfig and .la files. As most of the packages mentioned above don't use gettext directly, but the GLib gettext functions to handle translations this shouldn't cause any major problems. As the glib2 headers depend on the libintl.h header a 'Requires: mingw32-gettext' also needs to be added to the mingw32-glib2 package. I already applied these changes in a testing repository for a generic cross compiler framework (coming soon!) [2][3] and it works fine there. Another thing GTK upstream has done in their Win32 binaries is using win-iconv instead of GNU iconv. I just put up a review request for mingw32-win-iconv at [4]. Could somebody please review that package? Does everybody agree to these changes?

Status update about mingw-w64 support
by Erik van Pienbroek 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Hi everybody, It's been a while since the last announcement about mingw-w64 support so I think it's about time for another update. Packaging guidelines: --------------------- Some weeks ago I proposed a new set of packaging guidelines for mingw-w64 support. These have been under review for a few weeks and have been approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee at the meeting of April 13 [1]. These guidelines will be effective as of Fedora 16 [2]. One of the changes which wasn't in the initial draft, but was proposed by the FPC is that all mingw macros shouldn't contain an underscore any more. For example, the macro %{_mingw32_bindir} is now called %{mingw32_bindir}. Another change is that all mingw packages have to use the macros % mingw_configure, %mingw_make, %mingw_make_install and %mingw_cmake to build/install the package. In the original draft these macros were surrounded by curly braces. Upon request of the FPC, these curly braces were dropped. A test has been done to be sure this doesn't break anything. Backwards compatibility macros also have been introduced so packages using the original mingw packaging guidelines can still work (though package maintainers are recommended to make their packages compliant with the new guidelines once the 5 toolchain packages have been imported in Fedora) Package reviews: ---------------- As the approved packaging guidelines differ a bit from the original draft, the 5 base toolchain packages needed to be updated. This has already been done by now and updated packages have been put up for review [3]. Unfortunately, nobody has started reviewing the packages yet, so without that we can't continue. In order to perform a review you only have to be a package maintainer in Fedora, so various people in the MinGW SIG should already be able to perform these reviews (you don't need to have any other magic powers to perform reviews, so please help!) Legal approval: --------------- Back in Januari, when I put up the mingw-w64 packages up for review I already made them block 'FE-Legal'. Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything ever since from FE-Legal about the packages. Recently, one of the lead developers of the mingw-w64 project, Kai Tietz has been hired by Red Hat to help maintaining Windows cross compiler support. Right now he's trying to get everything rolling in Red Hat Legal internally to get legal clearance for mingw-w64 so we can continue with the introduction of mingw-w64 in Fedora. At the moment we don't have an indication about an estimated time for such an approval, but I'm confident that it will be cleared before the Fedora 16 feature freeze. Testing repository: ------------------- Because of the new packaging guidelines, all packages in the testing repository have also been adjusted to be compliant with these new guidelines. At the moment only the mingw32 and mingw64 packages are compliant with these new guidelines. The darwinx packages aren't really updated for now, but some changes have been made so that the darwinx packages can be installed independent of the mingw32 and mingw64 packages. In this new round of updated packages the mingw-w64 toolchain is now also based on the trunk branch. Support for the secure API (as was requested for wine-gecko support) is also enabled.

The spec and srpm above are missing all BuildRequires, did you upload the right files? The comment "we ship only a static library" just above the %files section is misleading now that you're also building a dll. There are some substantial build system improvements in mingw32-antlr.patch, have you submitted it upstream already? Not sure how close you want to keep to the native antlr spec file, but if that's not important, then you can remove BuildRoot definition, the whole %clean section, and the "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" in the beginning of %install, as they are no longer needed with current Fedora releases. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
