| DBus Daemon for Windows CE/Windows Mobile 6.5 |
| ============================================= |
| |
| Bugs in upstream for any window version: |
| * MoveFileExA < 0 result check bug |
| * double dbus_free somewhere I forgot where (check in -ugly) |
| * alignment issue |
| * CreateProcess process information handle leak |
| * _dbus_getsid NULL vs INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE |
| * win_account_to_sid |
| |
| Customisation |
| ============= |
| |
| 1) At installation, the following registry value should be set to the |
| installation directory of the dbus installation (the directory |
| containing the bin, etc, share folders): |
| |
| HKLM\Software\freedesktop\DBus\Install Directory |
| |
| 2) Instead of environment variable DBUS_VERBOSE, use |
| HKLM\Software\freedesktop\DBus\Verbose |
| |
| 2) The keyring directory is MYDOCUMENTS\dbus-keyrings, not |
| HOMEPATH\.dbus-keyrings. |
| |
| |
| Compilation |
| =========== |
| |
| ./configure --host=arm-mingw32ce CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/expat/include LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/expat/lib |
| |
| A recent version of libtool is required, with this change: |
| |
| 2010-02-28 Pierre Ossman <ossman@ossman.lkpg.cendio.se> (tiny change) |
| Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| Fix deplibs check fallback for 64-bit Windows and Windows CE. |
| * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_MAGIC_METHOD): Accept file formats |
| 'pe-arm-wince' and 'pe-x86-64'. Add note about consistency with ... |
| * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_win32_libid): ... the respective |
| pattern here; sync pattern from the former. |
| * tests/deplibs-mingw.at (deplibs without file command): New |
| file, new test. |
| * Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Update. |
| * NEWS: Update. |
| |
| |
| MB vs WCHAR |
| =========== |
| |
| Windows CE only supports the Unicode interface, while DBus Daemon uses |
| the Multi-Byte interface on Windows by default. The glue code does |
| not support multibyte in all cases. In particular, the _mbsrchr |
| function is not correctly implemented. It could be correctly |
| implemented, or dbus daemon could use the wchar interface more |
| consistently on all Windows targets. For now, the Windows CE port |
| will only work for filesystems without some weird characters in file |
| names. Is this a serious limitation? |
| |
| |
| Known Issues |
| ============ |
| |
| Autolaunch is broken so far. |
| |
| Environment variables are faked. Some are punted to the registry, but |
| in any case they can not be used reliably for IPC. |
| |
| The test suite is not ported yet. |
| |
| dbus-pipe.c: |
| * Uses libc file descriptors. Needed for --print-address and |
| --print-pid which probably don't work yet. |
| |
| dbus-sysdeps-win.c: |
| * Backtraces have been disabled. |
| * _dbus_fd_set_close_on_exec Not supported, maybe we should disable |
| the warning. |
| * SearchPathA: Uses HKLM\\Software\\freedesktop\\DBus\\Install Directory |
| to locate binaries. |
