[Freeciv-Dev] Multi-client support added (PR#181)

[jrb3@xxxxxxxxx]

Full_Name: Joseph Beckenbach
Version: 1.9.0
Distribution: Built from source
Client: Both (or N/A)
OS: BeOS
Submission from: (NULL) (205.149.168.248)


Patch to support more clients in the main source tree than just GTK and Xaw.
Couldn't upload to incoming/, so integrators will need to download via
http://www.jrb3.com/bdh/Cosource/freeciv/distrib.html (two files).

This is NOT the wishlist's "client API", but a decent supporting step towards
it.

The tarfile unpacks as freeciv-1.9.0-port/client/gui-{beos,stub,win32}.
The diff makes the necessary changes to actually support these new directories:
tweaks to aclocal.m4, client/Makefile.am, client/include/*_g.h, plus rewriting
sections of configure.in.  The "stub" client prints "FreeCiv rules!" and exits
cleanly;  this provides a starting spot for porting efforts.  "beos" and
"win32",
as submitted, are clones of "stub", and exist to prove multi-client capability.

Created and tested on BeOS X86 R4.5.  As you might guess, the upcoming port of
BeOS will make use of this new infrastructure.
