[gdome]removing glib dependence

["T.J. Mather" <tjmather tjmather com>]

I got the e-mail from somebody who is having a hard time installing glib 
on Mac OS X.  I was wondering if we could remove the glib dependence to 
make it easier for people on non-linux platforms to install.  I noticed 
that some of the functions in glib are available in libxml2, and the 
others we could probably rewrite?

Thanks,
TJ

Subject: PPM for XML-GDOME?

Hi:

After spending many hours pulling my hair out trying to get GDOME to 
compile on my Mac OS X machine without a great deal of success, I was 
wondering if instead there was a PPM package for ActivePerl available. I 
checked the usual places: http://www.xmlproj.com/PPM and 
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/ but with no luck.

Anyone working on compiling a PPM for ActivePerl? Seems I can only use 
XML-GDOME on Linux at the moment. I would like to use this for the Perl 
binding to JXTA (http://jxtaperl.jxta.org/), but everything must work on 
at least: Linux, ActivePerl, Cygwin, and Mac (OS 9 and OS X). That is a 
pretty tall order, but Perl is a cross-platform environment, right? :)

Also, if anyone has successfully ported the GDOME libraries to OS X I 
would love to hear about it. The problem I have hit on is really with 
the glibs.

Thanks,

Nyk Cowham.
