Re: [gccsdk] DeskLib

Hi Theo

Thanks for sorting that out. I've managed to successfully cross-compile DeskLib via the autobuilder with the attached patch. It currently requires some changes in the autobuilder branch in my fork, but once the relevant PR has been merged, the recipe can be changed to build from the upstream repository instead. I've also tried cloning DeskLib on RISC OS using SimpleGit, which seems to work but I've been unable to build natively because GCC can't locate the DeskLib headers for some reason.

Regards

Cameron

I've had a quick attempt:
https://github.com/riscos-dot-info/DeskLib

This is marked as experimental for now - please give it a spin and see if
there's any issues.  If there are, I may have to delete it and re-convert.
(if this happens you can likely replay any commits against the re-upload)

In particular, the svn->git userid translation is missing a number of email
addresses (plus myself, John Tytgat and Alan Buckley which I have details
for):

rosery = rosery <rosery>
no-author = no-author <no-author>
alex = alex <alex>
lee = lee <lee>
nick = nick <nick>
admin = admin <admin>
cpalmer = cpalmer <cpalmer>
jjvdgeer = jjvdgeer <jjvdgeer>
cgrasden = cgrasden <cgrasden>
jmb = jmb <jmb>
peter = peter <peter>
cpmartin = cpmartin <cpmartin>
phlamethrower = phlamethrower <phlamethrower>
stevef = stevef <stevef>
adam = adam <adam>

If anyone on that list wants to provide an email address they are happy to
live in the git history, please let me know.

I'm not sure if anyone is looking after Desklib these days (Steve F
committed something almost 2 years ago) so if you or anyone else wants
direct commit rights to the github repo, do let me know your github username.
