+
−
1.	Test the built tools. No testing has been done whatsoever.+
−
+
−
2.	Build the package on platforms not listed here, and add them to the+
−
	list:+
−
		Windows XP 32bit+
−
		Ubuntu 10.4 32bit+
−
+
−
3.	Find all the perl scripts that are exported and ensure they run on+
−
	Linux.+
−
+
−
4.	Differentiate the exports so that .bat files are only exported by+
−
	Windows builds and .sh files are only exported by *nix builds+
−
+
−
5.	Numerous C++ warnings were fixed for constness violations. Where there+
−
	was a choice between changing the constness traits of an API and+
−
	using const_casts on pointers to cure the warning, const_casts were+
−
	always chosen, because changing the constness traits of APIs may spiral+
−
	into major refactoring. But changing the constness traits of the APIs is+
−
	the right thing.+
−
+
−
	Get rid of const_casts by fixing the APIs.+
−
+
−
6.	On Windows, the imgcheck target needs to link against libwsock32.a. This+
−
	library exist in the gcc mingw lib directory in the PDT, but because+
−
	the library is specified with the STATICLIBRARY keyword, the linker looks+
−
	for it in the epoc32\release\tools2\{deb|rel} directory and doesn't find it.+
−
	It is not included in the upstream package, so it cannot be exported there.+
−
	This bug has been worked around as one of the things done by the+
−
	fix_epoc32_win.pl script - it just copies libwsock32.a from the PDT to+
−
	the tools2 release deb|rel directories, but a real solution should be found.+
−
	Preferably, for all targets on Windows the gcc mingw libraries should be in+
−
	the linker's search path.+
−
+
−
7.	Add a toplevel GNU makefile to the package and scripting to support it which+
−
	can generate a GNU tarball containing a "normalised Linux" simplification of+
−
	the package. The normalised Linux spin will strip out everything from the+
−
	package contents and build that is only required for Windows or would+
−
	normally be provided by package prerequisities in a Linux setting, e.g. it+
−
	will not contain Windows binaries or build its own versions of make, bash,+
−
	cpp, python. A normalised Linux spin would be the right basis on which+
−
	to build .deb or .rpm packaging. +
