Chun-wei Fan 2055f6ba91 VS 2008/2010 project files to build Cogl
These are the VS 2008/2010 project files to build Cogl, with a README.txt
to explain the process involved.

Note that the Cogl and Cogl-Pango projects (and filters for VS2010) are
expanded with the correct source file listings during "make dist", which
is done to simplify maintenance of these project files.

-added preconfigured config.h(.win32.in), which is expanded with the
 correct versioining info during autogen
-added preconfigued cogl/cogl-defines.h.win32
-added symbols files for cogl and cogl-pango
-Have configure.ac expand the config.h.win32.in into config.h.win32
 with the correct versioning info, etc, and to include the Visual C++
 project files for distribution
-Added rules in cogl/Makefile.am to expand the cogl VS 2008/2010 projects
 and filters from the templates with up-to-date source file listings, to
 distribute cogl-enum-types.c, cogl-enum-types.h to ease compilation and
 to avoid depending on PERL on Windows installations.
-Added rules in cogl-pango/Makefile.am to expand the cogl-pango VS2008/
 2010 projects and filters from the templates with up-to-date source file
 listings.
-Added/edited various Makefile.am's in build to distribute the VS2008/2010
 project files and associated items required for the build.
-Update .gitignore. There needs to be a pre-configured
 config.h(.win32) and its template, config.h.win32.in for Visual C++
 builds

Note that all this is rather experimental.
A more detailed description on using Visual C++ to compile COGL with
its dependencies can be found on the following GNOME Live! page:
https://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/Win32/MSVCCompilationOfGTKStack
Please do not attempt to compile COGL in a path that contains spaces
to avoid potential problems during compilation, linking or usage.
This VS9 solution and the projects it includes are intented to be used
in a Cogl source tree unpacked from a tarball. In a git checkout you
first need to use some Unix-like environment or manual work to expand
the files needed, like config.h.win32.in into config.h.win32 and the
.vcprojin files here into corresponding actual .vcproj files.
You will need the parts from GNOME: GDK-Pixbuf, Pango* and GLib.
External dependencies are at least zlib, libpng,
gettext-runtime* and Cairo*, and glext.h from
http://www.opengl.org/registry/api/glext.h (which need to be in the GL folder
in your include directories or in <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include\GL).
Please see the README file in the root directory of this Cogl source package
for the versions of the dependencies required. See also
build/win32/vs9/README.txt in the GLib source package for details
where to unpack them. It is recommended that at least the dependencies
from GNOME are also built with VS9 to avoid crashes caused by mixing different
CRTs-please see also the build/win32/vs9/README.txt in those respective packages.
The recommended build sequence of the dependencies are as follows (the non-GNOME
packages that are not downloaded as binaries from ftp://ftp.gnome.org have
makefiles and/or VS project files that can be used to compile with VS directly,
except the optional PCRE, which is built on VS using CMake; GLib has
VS9 project files in the latest stable versions, GDK-Pixbuf have VS9 project files
in the latest unstable version, and Pango should have VS9 project files
in the next unstable release):
-Unzip the binary packages for gettext-runtime, freetype, expat and fontconfig
downloaded from ftp://ftp.gnome.org*
-zlib
-libpng
-(optional for GLib) PCRE (8.12 or later, building PCRE using CMake is
recommended-please see build/win32/vs9/README.txt in the GLib source package)
-(for gdk-pixbuf, if GDI+ is not to be used) IJG JPEG
-(for gdk-pixbuf, if GDI+ is not to be used) jasper [JPEG-2000 library]
-(for gdk-pixbuf, if GDI+ is not to be used, requires zlib and IJG JPEG) libtiff
-GLib
-Cairo
-Pango
-GDK-Pixbuf
The "install" project will copy build results and headers into their
appropriate location under <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>. For instance,
built DLLs go into <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\bin, built LIBs into
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\lib and Cogl headers into
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include\Cogl-2.0.
*There is no known official VS9 build support for fontconfig
(required for Pango and Pango at the moment-I will see whether this
requirement can be made optional for VS builds)
(along with freetype and expat) and gettext-runtime, so
please use the binaries from:
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/ (32 bit)
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win64/dependencies/ (64 bit)
