1 DBus Daemon for Windows CE/Windows Mobile 6.5 2 ============================================= 3 4 Bugs in upstream for any window version: 5 * MoveFileExA < 0 result check bug 6 * double dbus_free somewhere I forgot where (check in -ugly) 7 * alignment issue 8 * CreateProcess process information handle leak 9 * _dbus_getsid NULL vs INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE 10 * win_account_to_sid 11 12 Customisation 13 ============= 14 15 1) At installation, the following registry value should be set to the 16 installation directory of the dbus installation (the directory 17 containing the bin, etc, share folders): 18 19 HKLM\Software\freedesktop\DBus\Install Directory 20 21 2) Instead of environment variable DBUS_VERBOSE, use 22 HKLM\Software\freedesktop\DBus\Verbose 23 24 2) The keyring directory is MYDOCUMENTS\dbus-keyrings, not 25 HOMEPATH\.dbus-keyrings. 26 27 28 Compilation 29 =========== 30 31 ./configure --host=arm-mingw32ce CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/expat/include LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/expat/lib 32 33 A recent version of libtool is required, with this change: 34 35 2010-02-28 Pierre Ossman <ossman (a] ossman.lkpg.cendio.se> (tiny change) 36 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues (a] gmx.de> 37 38 Fix deplibs check fallback for 64-bit Windows and Windows CE. 39 * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_MAGIC_METHOD): Accept file formats 40 'pe-arm-wince' and 'pe-x86-64'. Add note about consistency with ... 41 * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_win32_libid): ... the respective 42 pattern here; sync pattern from the former. 43 * tests/deplibs-mingw.at (deplibs without file command): New 44 file, new test. 45 * Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Update. 46 * NEWS: Update. 47 48 49 MB vs WCHAR 50 =========== 51 52 Windows CE only supports the Unicode interface, while DBus Daemon uses 53 the Multi-Byte interface on Windows by default. The glue code does 54 not support multibyte in all cases. In particular, the _mbsrchr 55 function is not correctly implemented. It could be correctly 56 implemented, or dbus daemon could use the wchar interface more 57 consistently on all Windows targets. For now, the Windows CE port 58 will only work for filesystems without some weird characters in file 59 names. Is this a serious limitation? 60 61 62 Known Issues 63 ============ 64 65 Autolaunch is broken so far. 66 67 Environment variables are faked. Some are punted to the registry, but 68 in any case they can not be used reliably for IPC. 69 70 The test suite is not ported yet. 71 72 dbus-pipe.c: 73 * Uses libc file descriptors. Needed for --print-address and 74 --print-pid which probably don't work yet. 75 76 dbus-sysdeps-win.c: 77 * Backtraces have been disabled. 78 * _dbus_fd_set_close_on_exec Not supported, maybe we should disable 79 the warning. 80 * SearchPathA: Uses HKLM\\Software\\freedesktop\\DBus\\Install Directory 81 to locate binaries. 82
