We were already considering the plugins under /common but
not the plug-ins that have their own subdirectories. So,
plugin_executables did not match custom_plugin_targets and
the build started to fail on macOS where install_name_tool
neeeds to process the plugins setting the right LC_RPATH.
This is a followup of previous commit. We must set the win_subsystem
option on executable() so that the result binary is compiled as a GUI
application (and doesn't output a console every time).
The previous commit is still needed and is what allows us to control
when to actually display a console.
Since no conversion operations are performed, just getting the
RGBA values from the gradient and then using them, this replaces
GimpRGB and GimpRGB * with gdouble * equivalents.
With the new API introduced int d1c4457f,
we next need to port all plug-ins using
the argument macros to functions.
This will allow us to remove the macros
as part of the 3.0 API clean-up.
- app: gimp_context_get_(foreground|background)() are now returning a GeglColor.
- libgimp: PDB functions named similarly in libgimp are returning a newly
allocated GeglColor too.
- A few other PDB functions (the ones using these functions) were updated and
their signature changed to use GeglColor too, when relevant. Plug-ins which
use any of the changed libgimp functions were fixed.
- GimpContext: signals "(foreground|background)-changed" are now passing a
GeglColor.
- libgimpconfig: new macro GIMP_CONFIG_PROP_COLOR using gegl_param_spec_color().
- GimpContext: properties "foreground" and "background" are now GeglParamColor
properties.
- app: All code interacting with GimpContext objects were updated to receive a
GeglColor (that they may still convert, or no, to GimpRGB for now).
- app: gimp_prop_gegl_color_button_new() was added as an alternative to
gimp_prop_color_button_new() when the property is a GeglParamColor. Eventually
the former should replace completely the latter.
- libgimpwidgets: gimp_prop_color_area_new() now works on GeglParamColor
properties only.
- libgimp: gimp_procedure_dialog_get_widget() will generate a GimpColorArea for
GeglTypeParamColor arguments.
If we leave a space between the macro name and opening parenthese for argument
lists, the args are not considered macro args (which will be discovered when
using it). I experienced this issue while testing code on some plug-in
yesterday, so thought I might as well fix all these broken macros for casting to
the specific GimpPlugIn subclass, so that we won't have a next time.
Now that we bumped our meson requirement, meson is complaining about
several features now deprecated even in the minimum required meson
version:
s/meson.source_root/meson.project_source_root/ to fix:
> WARNING: Project targets '>=0.56.0' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': meson.source_root. use meson.project_source_root() or meson.global_source_root() instead.
s/meson.build_root/meson.project_build_root/ to fix:
> WARNING: Project targets '>=0.56.0' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': meson.build_root. use meson.project_build_root() or meson.global_build_root() instead.
Fixing using path() on xdg_email and python ExternalProgram variables:
> WARNING: Project targets '>=0.56.0' but uses feature deprecated since '0.55.0': ExternalProgram.path. use ExternalProgram.full_path() instead
s/get_pkgconfig_variable *(\([^)]*\))/get_variable(pkgconfig: \1)/ to
fix:
> WARNING: Project targets '>=0.56.0' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': dependency.get_pkgconfig_variable. use dependency.get_variable(pkgconfig : ...) instead
This is the consequence of previous commit. Plug-ins' label and
documentation are now localized before sending these data to GIMP core.
In other words, we replace N_() macros with basic gettext calls.
Hence avoiding the stderr messages. These are going to be localized with
centrally installed catalogs "gimp*-std-plugins", "gimp*-script-fu" and
"gimp*-python".
We now handle core plug-in localizations differently and in particular,
with kind of a reverse logic:
- We don't consider "gimp*-std-plugins" to be the default catalog
anymore. It made sense in the old world where we would consider the
core plug-ins to be the most important and numerous ones. But we want
to push a world where people are even more encouraged to develop their
own plug-ins. These won't use the standard catalog anymore (because
there are nearly no reasons that the strings are the same, it's only a
confusing logic). So let's explicitly set the standard catalogs with
DEFINE_STD_SET_I18N macro (which maps to a different catalog for
script-fu plug-ins).
- Doing something similar for Python plug-ins which have again their own
catalog.
- Getting rid of the INIT_I18N macro since now all the locale domain
binding is done automatically by libgimp when using the set_i18n()
method infrastructure.
The gimp_drawable_type() is an issue though as gimp_drawable_get_type()
is already defined as a common GObject API.
Though I'm actually wondering if GimpImageType is well called. Rather
than Type, shouldn't we go with ColorModel?
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_bpp\>/gimp_drawable_get_bpp/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_width\>/gimp_drawable_get_width/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_height\>/gimp_drawable_get_height/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_offsets\>/gimp_drawable_get_offsets/g' "$@"
Renaming the temporary function gimp_scale_entry_new2() into
gimp_scale_entry_new() now that the original code is entirely gone. This
is now a fully-fledged widget with a nice and proper introspectable API.
This gives a big cleanup in the meson.build files of the plug-ins.
It's also quite a bit more maintainable, since anything that changes in
libgimp's dependencies, linkage, ... doesn't have to be copy-pasted into
each plug-in.
Turn all ID param specs into object param specs (e.g. GimpParamImageID
becomes GimpParamImage) and convert between IDs and objects in
gimpgpparams.c directly above the the wire protocol, so all of app/,
libgimp/ and plug-ins/ can deal directly with objects down to the
lowest level and not care about IDs.
Use the actual object param specs for procedure arguments and return
values again instead of a plain g_param_spec_object() and bring back
the none_ok parameter.
This implies changing the PDB type checking functions to work on pure
integers instead of IDs (one can't check whether object creation is
possible if performing that check requires the object to already
exist).
For example gimp_foo_is_valid() becomes gimp_foo_id_is_valid() and is
not involved in automatic object creation magic at the protocol
level. Added wrappers which still say gimp_foo_is_valid() and take the
respective objects.
Adapted all code, and it all becomes nicer and less convoluted, even
the generated PDB wrappers in app/ and libgimp/.
We now have both variants, one returning a GList, and another
returning an array. Turns out that while a list is often nicer,
sometimes a random-access array really keeps the code much simpler.
Adapt all plug-ins, and clean up a bit (like use g_list_reverse() once
instead of iterating the list reversed).
AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 m4 macro actually computes this value using
$PKG_CONFIG. Yet $PKG_CONFIG variable is the pkg-config tool looking for
target libraries (not host), hence it would return the executable
`glib-compile-resources` built for the target.
Also using the same variable name invalidates our test: our own
AC_PATH_PROG was never run as the variable was already set. And no
environment variable could override this test anymore either. This is
why I rename the test variable to HOST_GLIB_COMPILE_RESOURCES.
