[Freeciv-Dev] Requiring glib...

[Daniel Sjolie <deepone@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi people...

I'm tired now but I thought I would just toss this into the debate
before going to bed... :)

I think making glib required would be a good thing (tm)
The purpose of glib is to act as a portability libary...
It would be best to use this rather than coming up with our own
solutions as soon as we find a problem...
If we need something that glib cannot provide or have problems with glib
we should very seriously consider to fix it in glib and thus work for an
improved, standardized portability libary...
That is the way opensource should work...

I'm planning on using glib extensively in the Client X project if I
don't hear any really serious objections... I really think that glib is
a libary that we *want* on every computer... Thus we *should* require it
to work for the spreading of this...
