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. +
