xpidl depends on Andrew Veliath and Elliot Lee's libIDL, a part of the
GNOME ORBit C ORB.  We currently require libIDL >= 0.5.8, which in turn
requires glib >= 1.1.7.

libIDL builds for Linux and Win32 can be found, along with source tarballs,
at http://www.rpi.edu/~veliaa/libIDL/, and Win32 users will need glib 1.1 and
glib 1.1-dev from http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/.  There are currently
no Makefiles for Windows, but people _are_ building on this platform, so
hopefully they'll check their magic in soon.

glib tarballs and RPMs for Linux can be found through http://www.gtk.org.
Updated README. Better arg handling and now lower-case mode flags. andrewv's fixes to lose dependency on IDLN_ enum order (but not his changes to indentation settings!). 1998-12-02 19:53:27 +00:00			`Wed Dec 2 14:35:41 EST 1998`

Updated README now includes Win32 libIDL/glib URLs, and mention of msw's GTK+/glib 1.1.5. Generate #includes for interfaces to which we refer. Output inheritance data. Switch to PRUnichar * for wstring, and char * for string. in params that become pointer types get const'd. 1998-11-26 21:03:03 +00:00			`xpidl depends on Andrew Veliath and Elliot Lee's libIDL, a part of the`
Update to (and require!) libIDL 0.5.8. Fix silly argument processing brokenness. Prepare for IDL_tree_to_IDL when it arrives. Proper basename stuff for #ifdef __gen_nsIFoo_h__ and others. Handle empty interfaces. Dead code trimming (ident, etc.). Typedef support, including arrays. nsVarArgs instead of ... in C++ headers. Fix #include scanning bug that caused pain when we skipped an include that had already been processed. 1999-01-11 16:56:45 +00:00			`GNOME ORBit C ORB.
