[gtk-osx-users] Gdk-pixbuf and Pango update query fails

[Timo <timomlists gmail com>]

I'm not really sure if I should ask this here. If not, please advice and sorry for the noise.

Building GTK+ failed because Gdk-pixbuf failed to update the loader cache. When trying to update it manually, I found out that it's looking for loadernames that don't exist. The same when trying to update the Pango cache.

$ ./pango-querymodules --update-cache

It seems that g_dir_read_name() doesn't return the full filenames. I hacked something up with the pixbuf loader, because all filenames start the same, like this:

    queryloaders.c:348
                        const char *dent;
                        char dent2[] = "libpixbufload\0";
                        char *dent_new;

                        while ((dent = g_dir_read_name (dir))) {
                                gint len = strlen (dent);
                                dent_new = g_strconcat(dent2, dent, NULL);
                                if (len > SOEXT_LEN &&
                                    strcmp (dent + len - SOEXT_LEN, SOEXT) == 0) {
                                        query_module (contents, path, dent_new);
                                }

And it works. The loaders are written correctly. But the Pango filenames are different, so this hack won't work.

Does anybody know why g_dir_read_name() doesn't return the full filename? And even better, how to fix this?

Thanks,
Timo
