DESCRIPTION: 
Glimmer (formerly CodeCommander and LATTE) by Chris Phelps, chicane@reninet.com
.
Glimmer is a simple code editor for use with just about any programming
language. It is still in the development stages, but is fairly useful
as a C/C++ editor with all the frills. This program is meant as a learning
experience for me, as well as a project which I thought that GNOME was lacking.
My number one goal in all of my programming is stability. What good does a
program do you if it crashes all the time?

--------------------------------------


Note about this Cygwin port:
---------------------------
Built on cygwin 1.3.20, with gcc-3.2-3, binutils-20030307, and 
glib-1.2.10, gtk-1.2.10, gnome-libs-1.4.2.

This release is built with python support. 
(With latest ld, Py_NoneStruct could be auto-imported.)

Note that in glimmer-1.2.1, PyGTK is required if python supporting support is enabled.

You can also download glimmer-1.0.1, which is built with python scripting 
support (in that version PyGTK is not obligatory in python scripting interface). 


Port Log:
---------
Mar 28, 2003:    
    1.2.1-2  Enabled python scripting support.
          (With latest ld, Py_NoneStruct could be auto-imported.)

Feb 17, 2003
    * 1.2.1-1:  Built version 1.2.1, without python support (as PyGTK is 
obligatory now when python scripting support is enabled.) This version could
be built smoothly on Cygwin.

Dec 3, 2002
    * 1.0.1-1:  First Cygwin port, python scripting support enabled, 
but without PyGTK.

Build glimmer-1.2.1 for Cygwin GNOME:
-----------------------------------------
Glimmer's homepage: http://glimmer.sourceforge.net.
You can find the source package there.

- In order to build glimmer, you need some GNOME libraries: glib, gtk+ and 
gnome-libs etc.

The source package of glib, gtk+, gnome-libs and other GNOME libraries
could be found at ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources.
   
Patches for Cygwin port of GNOME libraries is contributed and maintained by 
Steven O'Brian, at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steven.obrien2/. 

A collection of binary packages prebuilt for Cygwin could be found on the 
Cygwin GNOME project (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/cygnome). 

- In order to enable python scripting support, you also need python and python-gnome
package. 

Note you need the latest ld to correctly auto-import Py_NoneStruct.
I used binutils-20030307-1. If you're using 20021117, try pass --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc
option to the linker (ld).

- Start building (nothing special, version 1.2.1 could be built smoothly on Cygwin)
  - Unpack the source tarball of glimmer-1.2.1
  - Configure:
  $ CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome
  - $ make
  - $ make install
