gimp/README.win32
Tor Lillqvist 0457d6914a New file.
* plug-ins/makefile.msc: New file.

	* plug-ins/*/*.c (Well, not really all files, but many):
 	Portability fixes. Include config.h, and guard inclusion of POSIX
 	and Unix headers like <unistd.h>, <dirent.h> and
 	<sys/time.h>. Include <string.h> if functions from it are
 	used. Use g_ntohl() and g_htonl() insteead of ntohl() and htonl(),
 	thus no need to include <netinet/in.h>. Include <io.h> on Win32
 	when using open/read/write (which actually are defined as
 	_open/_read/_write by glib.h). Define S_* macros if necessary on
 	Win32. Define rint() and M_PI if necessary (these definitions
 	should be factored out somewhere, no sense repeating them in lots
 	of files). Open files in binary mode when needed.

	* plug-ins/FractalExplorer/FractalExplorer.c: Use
 	g_malloc()/g_free(). Use g_strdup_printf().

  	* plug-ins/dbbrowser/dbbrowser.c: No need to include <X11/Xlib.h>.

	* plug-ins/destripe/destripe.c: Guard use of SIGBUS.

	* plug-ins/{flame/flame,hrz/hrz,pnm/pnm}.c: No need to check for
 	NULL returns from g_malloc() and g_new() as they abort on failure.
	Use g_strdup_printf().

	* plug-ins/gz/gz.c: Win32 version of running the subprocess.

	* plug-ins/hrz/hrz.c: Win32 version. Use more generic tests for
 	non-Unix (OS/2 and Win32), for instance HAVE_MMAP.

	* plug-ins/script-fu/interp_slib.c: Win32 version of myruntime().

	* plug-ins/script-fu/interp_sliba.c: Handle \\ (escaped backslahsh).

	* plug-ins/script-fu/script-fu-console.c: Bypass on Win32.

	* plug-ins/script-fu/script-fu-scripts.c: Portability fixes. Use
 	g_strdup_printf() instead of separate malloc() and sprintf(). Use
 	g_strescape() for strings being passed to Scheme. Some Win32-only
 	stuff.

This is an unstable version of the GIMP, intended for developers
only. Even more so the Win32 port.
For more information about the port or GLib, GTk+ and the GIMP to
native Windows, and pre-built binary packages, see
http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/ or
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/
To build the GIMP on Win32, you will need (for now) the Microsoft
compiler. Eventually gcc (egcs) on cygwin will also be supported, but
without the produced executables depending on the cygwin dll (gcc
-mno-cygwin).
First, build in the libgimp directory, then in tools/gcg, then in app,
plug-ins, and finally in modules. Check the makefile.msc files in said
directories.
The current build setup for Windows is a mess, with complex
hand-maintained makefiles. I know. Adding parallel makefiles for gcc
isn't going to make it any better. On the other hand, I don't think
using the Unix style configuration mechanism (under cygwin) is quite
feasible, either.
