[Toxine-devels] [PATCH] Toxine portability, fixes and MinGW port

[Frantisek D. <va...@us...>]

Hi folks,

I have little worked on toxine recently. I did some bugfixes and
portability improvements, and last but not the least I intoxicated
toxine by Windows platform too. :->

You will find the patch here: http://xine.czechian.net/patches/toxine-
win32-patch4.tar.gz . Binaries are at
http://home.zcu.cz/~valtri/xine/win32/toxine-mingw32-latest.zip and
http://home.zcu.cz/~valtri/xine/win32/xine-mingw32-latest.zip .

There is still many work on xine-lib but I ran testsuite with toxine.exe
under wine with very good results.

Here are list of changes I did:

Bugfixes and common portability:
  - stdin --> use_stdin
  - pthread_t can be a structure
  - fixed build
  - X11 plugin optionally
  - DXR3 and syncfb only on linux
  - replacement functions
  - replaced AC_TRY_RUN by AC_LINK_IFELSE for cross compiling
  - removed some relics (from CFLAGS, INCLUDES)
  - proper uninstall & clean of the hacked libtool
  - fixed build
  - defined _GNU_SOURCE
  - fixed double free on rejected redirect toxine.out
  - fixed reading of the scripts (there was sometimes mystery command
behind
    the end)
  - free loaded plugins on exit
  - join watchdog thread on exit
  - proper set string result
  - don't detach the loop event thread in X11 plugin, toxine joins it
TODO: move getopt.h to separate directory because of collision with
system header

Windows MinGW port:
  - checked for static pthreads in libxine
  - loader stuff, plugins relative to runtime dir
  - X11 plugin optional
  - vo_win32 plugin
  - nice logos ;-)
  - console handling and interaction with readline
    (works well with GNU Win32 readline)
  - workaround select on stdin

I'm interesting in becoming developer, there will be still some rare
bugs for fixing or something for improving.

Thank you,
  Frantisek
