Hallo dia-list, I got a problem here with Dia on Cygwin.
I use libtool and all works fine, besides some minor modifications to the base files for the autogenerated files (and recreation of Makefile.in & configure et.al) I have not changed the source to build it. However, I doesn't work. The first problem seems to be in lib/plug-ins.c. It should figure out that libtool is used (which is default on non Windows platform, then use the .la file to find the real name of the module/plug-in to load. But as I ran into the problems, I saw that dia requires the modules to be named in the usual unix fashion (libxyz.so instead of cygxyz.dll as it is on Cygwin). It is probably this part of plug-ins.c (this_is_a_plugin()) where .so is hardcoded and the name of the library is basename of 'libxyz.la' (='libxyz') plus '.so': #if USING_LIBTOOL basename = g_strndup(name,len-PLUG_IN_EXT_LEN); soname = g_strconcat(basename,".so",NULL); ... This is wrong, since we have already the function which looks up the filename: find_real_filename(), it should also be used? I changed this to be: #if USING_LIBTOOL basename = g_strndup(name,len-PLUG_IN_EXT_LEN); soname = find_real_filename(name); ... and it works as expected. Now I can run dia (without renaming cygxzy.dll files to libxyz.so files), however, another error came up, it says "cannot load /usr/lib/cygxslt.dll" which is probably a similar problem (but not the same), because the imortlib used for linking is 'libxslt.la' but the name of the DLL in the klibtool library is '../bin/cygxslt-1.dll', the importlib is 'libxslt.dll.a' and therefore, I have no idea why dia wants to load a "cygxslt.dll". I also have not looked up the relevant part in the code. I have no patch attached yet, see it as a heads-up because it seems there are some more parts which need to be fixed for a successful build on Cygwin (and other, non-.so platforms). Anyway, many thanks for providing such an interesting piece of code to the open source community, Gerrit -- =^..^= _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia
