        file, primarily checking that GetConsoleTitle succeeded.

2005-04-25  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * abort.C:
        * atexit.c:
        * forkedcall.[Ch]:
        * forkedcontr.[Ch]:
        * fs_extras.[Ch]:
        * gzstream.[Ch]:
        * kill.C:
        * lyxsum.C:
        * os2_defines.h:
        * pch.h:
        * tempname.C:
        * userinfo.C:
        include <config.h> in .C files, not .h ones.

2005-04-25  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * globbing.[Ch]: removed to frontends/xforms.

        * Makefile.am: associated change.

2005-04-24  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * userinfo.C (user_name): add Windows-specific code.

2005-04-22  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * package.C.in (get_binary_path): on prompting from Rob Bearman,
        ensure that the name of the executable, as input at the command
        line has a ".exe" suffix so that various file interogations
        work on Windows.

2005-04-22  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * forkedcontr.h:
        * forkedcall.h: remove pid_t definition to config.h.

2005-04-21  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * forkedcontr.h:
        * forkedcall.h: define pid_t for MSVC.

        * forkedcall.C (kill): work around evil MSVC max macro.

2005-04-21  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * forkedcontr.C: add #include <csignal>.

        * filetools.C (RunCommand): remove the signal blocking stuff
        now that we no longer use a signal handler on unix.

2005-04-19  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * filetools.C: remove unnecessary #include of forkedcontr.h.

        * forkedcall.C: protect system-specific headers with preprocessor
        guards.
        (running): don't call waitpid() on Windows.
        (waitForChild): add Windows-specific code to wait for a child process
        to finish.
        (generateChild): add Windows-specific code to spawn the child in the
        first place.

        * forkedcontr.[Ch]:Revert back to the LyX 1.3.x version of the code
        to spawn a child process asynchronously. Do this because 'issues'
        remain with the SIGCHLD handling code on *nix and because there's no
        easy way to implement such a monitor on Windows. Explicit polling,
        as in Lyx 1.3.x, is safe, robust and works on both platforms.

2005-04-19  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * package.C.in (get_temp_dir): call GetLongPathName on Windows.

        returning path.

        * os_win32.C (external_path): convert '/' chars to '\'.

        an input path containing space and '~' characters into something that
        LaTeX can understand.

2005-04-17  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * forkedcall.C (generateChild): do not strip quotes from args on
        Windows.
        Wrap lyxerr output inside an if (lyxerr.debugging(Debug::FILES))
        block.

2005-03-23  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * Makefile.am (build_package): Solaris sed does not like

        functions here from filetools.[Ch]. In the process:
        rename GetEnv as getEnv.
        rename putEnv as setEnv. Change the signature of the function
        to take a pair of arguments (a name and a value) rather than the
        existing coded "name=value" single argument. Merge the putenv.C
        code into setEnv.

        * lyxlib.h (putenv): remove declaration.
        * putenv.C: removed.

        * Makefile.am: add environment.[Ch]. Remove putenv.C.

        * filetools.[Ch]: remove environment setter/getter functions.

        * os_os2.C (init): s/GetEnvPath/getEnvPath/. Left over from an

        * package.C.in (get_binary_path): convert relative paths stored
        in the PATH environment variable to absolute ones.

2005-01-16  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * filetools.[Ch] (prependEnvPath): prepend a list of paths to

        * path_defines.C.in (setLyxPaths): on a Windows build,
        remove the ".exe" extension from the name of the LyX binary when

2004-05-20  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * debugstream.h: wrap the definition of debug_trait::DEBUG with
        preprocessor guards that protect against a name clash with a
        macro DEBUG. Such a macro is defined by the Qt library...

2004-04-27  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * path_defines.{h,C.in}: expose top_srcdir, renamed from

        * filetools.C (DeleteAllFilesInDir): delete directories with
        rmdir(), unlink() does not work

        exception.

2004-03-24  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * forkedcontr.[Ch]: get rid of the timer that we use to poll the list
        of child proccesses and ascertain whether any have died. Instead use
        the SIGCHLD signal emitted by the system to reap these zombies in the
        maximally efficient manner. The subsequent emitting of the signal
        associated with each child process *is* performed within the main
        lyx event loop, thus ensuring that the code remains safe.

        A detailed description of the design is to be found in forkedcontr.C.

2004-03-22  Angus Leeming  <leeming@lyx.org>

        * forkedcontr.[Ch] (childrenChanged, getPIDs, getCommand): remove

        lyx::void_class_fun to avoid compiler problems with Compaq cxx 6.5:
        more than one instance of overloaded function "lyx::class_fun" matches

        * forkedcontr.[Ch]: new files. Asger's forked call controller is
        re-born, with a working timer and a modified interface. The
        startscript method is now passed a Signal rather than a pointer
        to a callback function. This enables us to connect to the method of
        a C++ class, if we so desire.

2002-02-18  Angus Leeming  <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>

        * syscall.[Ch]: renamed as systemcall.[Ch]. class Systemcalls renamed
        as class SystemCall because one Systemcall instance represents a
        single child process.

        * filetools.C:
        * Makefile.am: associated changes.

2002-02-18  Jean-Marc Lasgouttes  <lasgouttes@freesurf.fr>

        * syssingleton.C: files removed.

        * syscall.[Ch]: remove the forked calls interface, as nothing, nowhere

        * filetools.C: (getExtFromContents) adding TGIF-format

        * filetools.C (do_popen): use os::read_mode().

        * os_win32.C (read_mode):
        * os_os2.C (read_mode):
        * os_unix.C (read_mode): new method

        * filetools.C (do_popen): fix for cygwin compatibility (from Claus
        Hentschel). This code should maybe be moved to os:: class.

2002-01-31  Herbert Voss  <voss@perce.de>

        * filetools.[Ch]: add getExtFromContents(), which returns
        the type of the (graphic) file

2002-01-14  Jean-Marc Lasgouttes  <lasgouttes@freesurf.fr>

        * lyxalgo.h: include <algorithm>

        by default where available. Used process_block for crc for speedup.

2001-12-01  John Levon  <moz@compsoc.man.ac.uk>

        * filetools.C: more robust failure for DirList()
