1) build as shared libs
2) pass all 29 tests
Please read the attached NOTES file thoroughly -- especially if you're thinking about turning this simple patch into a full-blown set of cygwin packages. [Note that the attached patch affects only the primary sources; after running the bootstrap script the patch grows to almost 1.9MB]
I also have some patches for glib-2.2.0, and will post those soon. However, 2.2.0 fails two tests...

(*) if using 20021227-1, you need to apply the following patch to
/usr/autotools/devel/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 BEFORE running bootstrap,
below. I'll release a new libtool that includes this fix soon.

build instructions:
==================================
This is what I did, but you might want different CFLAGS or configure options.
1) unpack glib-2.0.7.tar.bz2
2) cd glib-2.0.7
3) patch -p1 < <path to>/glib-2.0.7.patch
4) chmod +x ./bootstrap
5) ./bootstrap
6) mkdir .build && cd .build
7) CFLAGS='-g -O0' ../configure \
--prefix=/usr/local --srcdir=<path to>/glib-2.0.7 --enable-maintainer-mode
8) make
test results:
==================================
passes all 29 tests
packaging notes:
==================================
I don't intend to package glib for cygwin, or to support it. I just
viewed it as an interesting application/testcase for libtool. If anyone
wants to take these patches and use them to provide an official glib
package for cygwin, I wouldn't mind -- but be warned, the packaging will
be tricky, since the import libs and headers are versioned, as well as
the dll. See Nicholas Wourm's packaging structure for
db2
libdb2
libdb2-devel
db3.1
libdb3.1
libdb3.1-devel
I'd suggest
glib20-devel-2.0.7-1
(include files, import libs, static libs, locale files,
pkg-config files (.pc), glib-2.0.m4, but not glib-gettext.m4)
libglib20_0-2.0.7-1
(contains only the dlls)
glib-docs-2.0.7-1
(html docs, but not the man pages)
glib-2.0.7-1
(everything else, incl. glib-gettext.m4, .exe's, man pages)
Oh -- and don't "ship" usr/lib/charset.alias. That's part of the gettext
package on cygwin.
submitting "upstream"
==================================
These patches are probably large enough that I'd need to fill out
a copyright assignment for glib. I wouldn't mind doing that, if someone
else wants to push them into glib-2.0.8. (Also, Steven O'Brien would
need to fill out a copyright assignment too).
But....
These patches depend on reautotoolizing the whole tree using CVS versions
of libtool. There might be resistance to that. Plus, since 2.2.0 has come
out, there may not BE a 2.0.8.
porting notes:
==================================
My "solution" for the earlier string-test failures is cheezy. The problem is
actually in newlib's routines that format floating point numbers; hopefully
they will be fixed soon. However, I just reduced the %10000.10000f down to
the maximum that newlib can handle: %42.42f.
There are a number of places where I blithely replaced G_PLATFORM_WIN32
with G_OS_WIN32 (thus skipping various win32-isms on cygwin, and using
the unix-isms instead). I tried to only do this where it made sense --
and I kept some win32-isms. However, it is entirely possible that SOME
of the win32-isms that I killed in the cygwin build are actually needed,
especially as it relates to g_convert_filename functions dealing with
internationalization.
Tip Of Hat: Many of these changes originated with Steven O'Brien
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steven.obrien2/ Also, the basic port
to window-ish platforms is due to TONS of work by Tor Lilqvist and his
elves on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list.
