Owen Taylor d8e88af7d0 configure.in acheader.h gdk/gdkwindow.c Check for Shape extension both on
Sun May  3 17:20:50 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

	* configure.in acheader.h gdk/gdkwindow.c
	Check for Shape extension both on the client and server
	side. (And, more importantly, check for the shape extension
	so we may include -lXext even when compiling with --disable-xshm)

	* gdk/gdkwindow.c: Set ->colormap to NULL for root
	and foreign windows. Use this to check if we
	need to get the colormap from X.

Fri May  1 16:40:57 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>
	[ security-audit changes from Alan Cox ]

	* gdk/gdkpixmap.c (gdk_pixmap_colormap_create_from_xpmp[_d]):
	  Fix a buffer overflow on pixmaps that claim to have
	  more than 31 characters per pixel.

	  (gdk_pixmap_read_string): Don't wrap around strings longer
 	  than half of address space ;-)

	* gtk/gtk[vh]ruler.c gtk/gtkinputdialog.c: Expand some buffers
	that were used for printing integers.

	* gdk/gxid.c (handle_claim_device): Some extra checks.
	It isn't safe against being fed bad X id's, but at
	least it should be safe against deleting all your
	files.

Sat May  2 23:14:34 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

	* gtk/gtkcurve.c (gtk_curve_graph_events): Ignore
	Configure events that would result in a negative
	size.

Sat May  2 00:14:05 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

	* gtk/gtkpreview.c (gtk_trim_cmap): Make sure the
	parameters to log are doubles. Digital Unix apparently
	is missing the argument in its prototype.

If you want to hack on the Gtk+ project, it will make you life easier
to have the following packages installed:
- GNU autoconf 2.12
- GNU automake 1.3
(Beta releases are at ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tromey)
- GNU libtool 1.2
These should be available by ftp from ftp.gnu.org or any of the
fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org.
If you are accessing gtk+ via CVS, then you will need to take several
steps to get it to compile. You can do all these steps at once
by running:
cvsroot/gtk+# ./autogen.sh
Basically this does the following for you:
cvsroot/gtk+# aclocal; automake; autoconf
cvsroot/gtk+/glib# aclocal; automake; autoconf
The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you
can run the configure script in cvsroot/gtk+ to create all
the Makefiles. You only need to call "configure" in cvsroot/gtk+
as the one in glib will be invoked automatically.
Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool
in your path.
Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass
options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options
to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure.
If at all possible, please use CVS to get the latest development version of
gtk+. You can do the following to get gtk+ from cvs:
$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.gimp.org:/debian/home/gnomecvs'
$ cvs login
(there is no password, just hit return)
$ cvs -z9 checkout gtk+
Please submit patches to the gtk-list@redhat.com mailing list (you must
subscribe before you post, e-mail gtk-list-request@redhat.com with a
subject of "subscribe"). All kinds of contributions are accepted.
Patches that you wish to go into the distribution should also be uploaded
to ftp://ftp.gimp.org/incoming. Follow the rules there for naming your
patches.
