• Make the manual a DevHelp book
• Make the generation of PDFs of the cookbook and the manual optional
• Consequently, make the hard dependency on jw optional
• Clean up the checks and build for the additional documentation
Instead of creating stand-alone HTML files, use XSLT to transform the
DocBook into a DevHelp file, so that we can read the Cookbook inside
DevHelp -- just like the API reference.
The "Clutter Cookbook" is a document designed to contain solutions
to common problems applications developers might encounter when using
Clutter. It is meant as a companion to the API reference but it
requires knowledge of the Clutter API and framework.
The main COGL header cogl.h is currently created at configure time
because it conditionally includes the driver-dependent defines. This
sometimes leads to a stale cogl.h with old definitions which can
break the build until you clean out the whole tree and start from
scratch.
We can generate a stable cogl-defines.h at build time from the
equivalent driver-dependent header and let cogl.h include that
file instead.
We should generate a ChangeLog for each minor version cycle, starting
from the Git import date (since before that we used ChangeLog-style
commit messages that don't really look good with the Git ones).
For this reason we can take Cairo's Makefile.am.changelog file and,
after tweaking it to fit our use case, let it generate the correct
ChangeLogs on dist.
Some changes to make COGL pass distcheck with Automake 1.11 and
anal-retentiveness turned up to 11.
The "major" change is the flattening of the winsys/ part of COGL,
which is built directly inside libclutter-cogl.la instead of an
intermediate libclutter-cogl-winsys.la object.
Ideally, the whole COGL should be flattened out using a
quasi-non-recursive Automake layout; unfortunately, the driver/
sub-section ships with identical targets and Automake cannot
distinguish GL and GLES objects.
As part of an incremental process to have Cogl be a standalone project we
want to re-consider how we organise the Cogl source code.
Currently this is the structure I'm aiming for:
cogl/
cogl/
<put common source here>
winsys/
cogl-glx.c
cogl-wgl.c
driver/
gl/
gles/
os/ ?
utils/
cogl-fixed
cogl-matrix-stack?
cogl-journal?
cogl-primitives?
pango/
The new winsys component is a starting point for migrating window system
code (i.e. x11,glx,wgl,osx,egl etc) from Clutter to Cogl.
The utils/ and pango/ directories aren't added by this commit, but they are
noted because I plan to add them soon.
Overview of the planned structure:
* The winsys/ API is the API that binds OpenGL to a specific window system,
be that X11 or win32 etc. Example are glx, wgl and egl. Much of the logic
under clutter/{glx,osx,win32 etc} should migrate here.
* Note there is also the idea of a winsys-base that may represent a window
system for which there are multiple winsys APIs. An example of this is
x11, since glx and egl may both be used with x11. (currently only Clutter
has the idea of a winsys-base)
* The driver/ represents a specific varient of OpenGL. Currently we have "gl"
representing OpenGL 1.4-2.1 (mostly fixed function) and "gles" representing
GLES 1.1 (fixed funciton) and 2.0 (fully shader based)
* Everything under cogl/ should fundamentally be supporting access to the
GPU. Essentially Cogl's most basic requirement is to provide a nice GPU
Graphics API and drawing a line between this and the utility functionality
we add to support Clutter should help keep this lean and maintainable.
* Code under utils/ as suggested builds on cogl/ adding more convenient
APIs or mechanism to optimize special cases. Broadly speaking you can
compare cogl/ to OpenGL and utils/ to GLU.
* clutter/pango will be moved to clutter/cogl/pango
How some of the internal configure.ac/pkg-config terminology has changed:
backendextra -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE # e.g. "x11"
backendextralib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE_LIB # e.g. "x11/libclutter-x11.la"
clutterbackend -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS # e.g. "glx"
CLUTTER_FLAVOUR -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS
clutterbackendlib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_LIB
CLUTTER_COGL -> COGL_DRIVER # e.g. "gl"
Note: The CLUTTER_FLAVOUR and CLUTTER_COGL defines are kept for apps
As the first thing to take advantage of the new winsys component in Cogl;
cogl_get_proc_address() has been moved from cogl/{gl,gles}/cogl.c into
cogl/common/cogl.c and this common implementation first trys
_cogl_winsys_get_proc_address() but if that fails then it falls back to
gmodule.
Following bug #1762, the syntax of g-ir-scanner was changed in
gobject-introspection, so Clutter does not build anymore with 0.6.4.
See the bugzilla bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591669
GObject-Introspection now uses a different mechanism to extract the
SONAME when building the gir file and it needs the libtool archive as
option.

Currently, Clutter depends on the internal copy of JSON-GLib for
the ClutterScript parser. This is done to allow building Clutter
on platforms that do not have the library installed on the system.
Just like we use the internal PNG/JPEG loader as a fallback in
case we don't have GdkPixbuf or CoreGraphics available, we should
use the internal copy of JSON-GLib only in case the system copy
is not present.
The change is simply to move the default for the --with-json
configure switch from "internal" to "check".
In order to allow stricter compliance, a third setting should
be present: "system", which fails if the system copy is not
available.
We should also change the introspection generation to avoid
breaking in case we require the installed Json-1.0.gir instead
of the generated ClutterJson.gir
Instead of using a specific function to check whether the X
server supports the XInput extension we can use the generic
Xlib function XQueryExtension(). This cuts down the extra
checks inside the configure.ac and simplifies the code inside
clutter_x11_register_xinput().
HAVE_COGL_GLES2 is defined in config.h through the configure script and
should not be used in public headers.
The patch makes configure generate the right define that can be used
later in the header.
Instead of blacklisting experimental features at the end we can
explicitly mark backends and image backends near their checks and
provide a summary at the end.
Use the AS_COMPILER_FLAGS to check whether the maintainer compiler flags
we use are supported; this should fail gracefully and only use the ones
that the compiler actually understands.

It seems GNU Gold (the new linker) either behaves as if with
--no-undefined by default, or has some issue preventing it from not
doing that when instructed to (I'm not sure if this actually
happens). In any case, clutter uses the Xshm extensions, but does not
link to libXext, which makes gold unhappy.

A merge conflict gone bad: the IMAGE_PC_FILES variable was not appended
to the CLUTTER_REQUIRES one, thus leading to Clutter depending on
GdkPixbuf but never actually checking for it.

The XInput support in Clutter is still using XI 1.x. This will never
work correctly, and we are all waiting for XInput 2 anyway. The changes
internally should be minimal, so we can leave everything in place, but
it's better to disable XInput support by default -- at least for the
time being.
Apparently, the XInput extension is using the same pkg-config
file ('xi') for both the 1.x and the 2.x API, so we need to
check for both the 1.x XGetExtensionVersion and the 2.x
XQueryInputVersion.
Clutter copies the gtk-doc from the usual gtk+ template, and
has a version.xml.in containing only:
@VERSION@
Without a newline at the end. Unfortunately, it appears that
autoconf has started adding a newline to the generated version.xml
which then is used as the payload for the "version" XML entity.
Instead of using a secondary file we can make configure generate
the whole clutter-docs.xml and cogl-docs.xml files from a template;
this way we also get the ability to substitute more autoconf variables
into the documentation -- if needs be.
Using --enable-debug, which controls Clutter's debug level, also
defines COGL_ENABLE_DEBUG. This should be left to --enable-cogl-debug
instead, since it's the configure switch that controls COGL debug
level.
Let's try to bring configure.ac into this century, shall we?
* Use the proper shell macros AS_IF and AS_CASE instead of if...fi
and case...esac
* Check for X11 and relative extensions only when building for GLX
and EGLX backends
* Add documentation on the behaviour of binary_age and interface_age
* Coalesce all the common checks to avoid redundancy
* Escape everything that requires escaping
Currently, COGL depends on defining debug symbols by manually
modifying the source code. When it's done, it will forcefully
print stuff to the console.
Since COGL has also a pretty, runtime selectable debugging API
we might as well switch everything to it.
In order for this to happen, configure needs a new:
--enable-cogl-debug
command line switch; this will enable COGL debugging, the
CoglHandle debugging and will also turn on the error checking
for each GL operation.
The default setting for the COGL debug defines is off, since
it slows down the GL operations; enabling it for a particular
debug build is trivial, though.
