Fix a couple of longstanding problems with fontconfig on Windows that
manifest themselves especially in GIMP. The root cause to the problems is in
Microsoft's incredibly stupid stat() implementation. Basically, stat()
returns wrong timestamp fields for files on NTFS filesystems on machines
that use automatic DST switching.
See for instance http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154968 and
http://www.codeproject.com/datetime/dstbugs.asp
As fccache.c now looks at more fields in the stat struct I fill in them all.
I noticed that fstat() is used only on a fd just after opening it, so on
Win32 I just call my stat() replacement before opening instead...
Implementing a good replacement for fstat() would be harder because the code
in fccache.c wants to compare inode numbers. There are no (readily
accessible) inode numbers on Win32, so I fake it with the hash of the full
file name, in the case as it is on disk. And fstat() doesn't know the full
file name, so it would be rather hard to come up with a inode number to
identify the file.
The patch also adds similar handling for the cache directory as for the fonts
directory: If a cachedir element in fonts.conf contains the magic string
"WINDOWSTEMPDIR_FONTCONFIG_CACHE" it is replaced at runtime with a path under
the machine's (or user's) temp folder as returned by GetTempPath(). I don't
want to hardcode any pathnames in a fonts.conf intended to be distributed to
end-users, most of which who wouldn't know how to edit it anyway. And
requiring an installer to edit it gets complicated.
Looks like the last directory in the project which didn't use $(WARN_CFLAGS)
for some reason. Adding that found the usual collection of char * vs FcChar8
* issues (why, oh why is FcChar8 not just char...)
Use open instead of fopen (requested by Phil Race for Sun).
src/fccache.c (FcDirCacheWrite);
Fix GCC4 warning and Makefile brokenness for /var/cache/fontconfig dir.
helps make fontconfig FHS-compliant, but requires that all caches get
rebuilt.
Also, autogen.sh now needs the additional parameter
--localstatedir=/var.
Move man_MANS into the 'if USEDOCBOOK' block. (all-local): Remove excessive
whitespace.
Add 'set -e' to abort when any program fails, (avoids printing of 'now type
make' after configure aborts).
but there are still failures long into the process dealing with docs
(as always).
The big changes here are mostly to make $(srcdir) != "." work correctly,
fixing the docbook related sections and fc-lang were particularily
tricky. Docbook refuses to load system entities from anywhere other
than where the original .sgml file was located, so no luck looking in
"." for the configure-generated version.sgml and confdir.sgml files.
fc-lang needed help finding .orth files; added a -d option to set the
directory as the least evil of many options.
Now to go use a faster machine and try and wring out the last issues.
