Updated the Darwin architecture check to run only when darwin-arch-sanity-check is enabled, preserving current behavior by default while allowing opt-out.
Improved the check implementation to use pkg-config --libs-only-L glib-2.0 and only evaluate Homebrew path detection when the pkg-config call succeeds.
Extended the error message to include the explicit bypass flag -Ddarwin-arch-sanity-check=false for clearer remediation guidance.
Switched the GTK frontend build logic to select GTK2/GTK3 dependencies and emit corresponding preprocessor defines.
Added GTK3 GtkGrid/alignment handling and GTK3 GtkBox replacements for the channel list controls while preserving GTK2 table behavior behind guards.
Switched the ban list layout to use GtkGrid under GTK3 with GTK2 table fallback for checkbox placement.
Updated main GTK UI layouts to use GTK3 GtkGrid/GtkBox and alignment/attachment logic (quit dialog, topic bar, search/entry, chanview placement, main window table) while keeping GTK2 behavior via HAVE_GTK3 guards.
Since hexchat already depends on GLib, it's better to use GProxyResolver
instead. This might use libproxy, or not, as appropriate.
P.S. This removes a memory safety issue because proxy_list is allocated
using malloc(), not g_malloc(), and therefore using g_strfreev() is
incorrect. The proper way to free the proxy list returned by libproxy
is to use px_proxy_factory_free_proxies() (but nobody does that because
it was added in libproxy 0.4.16, which is somewhat recent).
This is mostly useful to avoid a newer gettext dependency
for translating the appdata file but it is also just useless
data for some distros without any app store.
Closes#2219
This was accidentally left behind, expose it beind an option as
with the old build system but default to false now. Enough time
has passed and only distros that care about it can enable it.
Quick rundown of benefits:
- Much faster:
- Autotools (with autogen): 22 seconds
- Meson: 7 seconds
- Meson (with ccache): 2 seconds
- Simpler:
- ~1000 lines smaller
- Single simple language
- Potentially better Windows (Visual Studio) support
What is not done:
- Complete Windows support
- OSX support (easy)
