2013-10-06First steps towards removing glib dependenciesGravatar Dirk Hohndel
- remove the build flags and libraries from the Makefile / Configure.mk - remove the glib types (gboolean, gchar, gint64, gint) - comment out / hack around gettext - replace the glib file helper functions - replace g_ascii_strtod - replace g_build_filename - use environment variables instead of g_get_home_dir() & g_get_user_name() - comment out GPS string parsing (uses glib utf8 macros) This needs massive cleanup, but it's a snapshot of what I have right now, in case people want to look at it.

2012-10-11Conversion to gettext to allow localizationGravatar Dirk Hohndel
This is just the first step - convert the string literals, try to catch all the places where this isn't possible and the program needs to convert string constants at runtime (those are the N_ macros). Add a very rough first German localization so I can at least test what I have done. Seriously, I have never used a localized OS, so I am certain that I have many of the 'standard' translations wrong. Someone please take over :-) Major issues with this: - right now it hardcodes the search path for the message catalog to be ./locale - that's of course bogus, but it works well while doing initial testing. Once the tooling support is there we just should use the OS default. - even though de_DE defaults to ISO-8859-15 (or ISO-8859-1 - the internets can't seem to agree) I went with UTF-8 as that is what Gtk appears to want to use internally. ISO-8859-15 encoded .mo files create funny looking artefacts instead of Umlaute. - no support at all in the Makefile - I was hoping someone with more experience in how to best set this up would contribute a good set of Makefile rules - likely this will help fix the first issue in that it will also install the .mo file(s) in the correct place(s) For now simply run msgfmt -c -o subsurface.mo deutsch.po to create the subsurface.mo file and then move it to ./locale/de_DE.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/subsurface.mo If you make changes to the sources and need to add new strings to be translated, this is what seems to work (again, should be tooled through the Makefile): xgettext -o subsurface-new.pot -s -k_ -kN_ --add-comments="++GETTEXT" *.c msgmerge -s -U po/deutsch.po subsurface-new.pot If you do this PLEASE do one commit that just has the new msgid as changes in line numbers create a TON of diff-noise. Do changes to translations in a SEPARATE commit. - no testing at all on Windows or Mac It builds on Windows :-) Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2012-09-19Use a 64-bit 'timestamp_t' for all timestamps, rather than 'time_t'Gravatar Linus Torvalds
This makes the time type unambiguous, and we can use G_TYPE_INT64 for it in the divelist too. It also implements a portable (and thread-safe) "utc_mkdate()" function that acts kind of like gmtime_r(), but using the 64-bit timestamp_t. It matches our original "utc_mktime()".
