| 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. |
