Hi All,
Further to the below mail from Peter Stephenson, this would give a broad 
overview of the changes to Zsh project during its migration onto Symbian 
OS.

Let me know how can we move further on this activity.

Symbian OS supports Zsh

   1.   Overview:
The Open source Zsh was migrated onto Symbian OS using PIPS (PIPS is POSIX 
on Symbian OS) libraries, the Standard set of POSIX libraries on Symbian.

None of the Zsh project defects have been fixed during this activity and 
all the changes are to support Zsh on Symbian OS.

 2.     Limitations:
This section elaborates the features that were not supported due to the 
limitations in PIPS/Symbian.
a. Signal related features are not supported -
PIPS currently don?t support Signals, because of which features like 
stopping, terminating a process are not supported. Signals are being 
implemented and this can be supported soon.

   3.   Key modifications to open source Zsh:
      a.        Make changes
The build and the project specification files for Symbian reflect the 
.Makefile of Zsh project. The tools of Symbian will use these 
specifications to generate the binary.

      b.        Source changes
Most of the changes during the migration have been blocked under 
__SYMBIAN32__ which is defined by the tools.

As Symbian doesn?t support two phase construction of a process, popen3() 
an API which creates a process with the image and gets three file 
descriptors corresponding to the stdio of the client process is used 
instead of fork() and exec ().  Most of the changes done to Zsh project 
are specific to the usage of popen3 ().

   4. Sourced from and version:

http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Interpreters/Zsh-1183.shtml 
(4.2.6 version).

Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi,

Thanks for the note... we'd certainly be interested in integrating your
changes back to zsh.  This would have to be the latest development version
(4.3) since there isn't any active development of older branches.

As you no doubt know, most of the discussion about details goes on on the
zsh-workers mailing list.  We'd be happy to look at patches to allow
compilation on Symbian.  Putting appropriate #ifdef's in the code is
probably the easy bit; setting up the configuration in the first place is
perhaps more difficult.  Are you using a cross-compiler?  This probably
makes things difficult, since zsh has to probe various bits of run-time
behaviour when configure is run.  We would probably need to look at other
ways of providing the necessary information.  Alternatively, I suppose we
might be able to supply a library of pre-built configuration headers for
special cases like this.

Anyway, if you let the mailing list know the sort of changes you have we
can start to think about the best way of integrating them.

Regards,
pws

I understand that the changes have to be merged with the current development
branch of the Zsh project, meanwhile i would be glad to answer any of your
specific queries.

Hi Peter,

To introduce myself, Iam a software engineer  working  for a company called
Symbian (www.symbian.com) in Bangalore, India.

I have been subscribed to zsh-workers since long time and have seen lots of
your postings related to submissions/defect fixes/technical discussions, so
thought you would be my better point of contact for my interest.

Actually, i was involved in a project of Symbian where we had migrated Zsh
onto Symbian OS sourced from the opensource Zsh project (
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Interpreters/Zsh-1183.shtml),
now we are interested to look at the possibilities of contributing back our
changes to the Zsh project, for which i would like to know the process
involved from the Zsh project perspective and moving forward we can discuss
about the changes and the list of features that we were not able to support
due to certain limitations.

Iam sorry if you are not the right person for this query, please do redirect
me to the person who would be of better help in that case.

PS: This is just an initial mail to inform about our work, we can further
discuss in detail.

Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi,

Please reply with your suggestions for contribution.

Here are my views,

1. Contributing back to the current development brach of the Zsh project.
    - This is just by getting our changes under a compiler switch specific
to Symbian, may be __SYMBIAN32__, then making sure the code compiles and
works as expected for both the platforms. Symbian code structure is
different from the Zsh project, hence we need to change this to align with
Zsh project.
    -  Any update to the Symbian specific source can only be performed by
using the available Symbian SDK for Windows as we currently don't have one
for Linux and there is no solution yet to emulate Symbian OS on Linux.

2. Contribution categorised by platform, having a separate code base for
Symbian.
   - This is just by pushing our code with the current code structure, the
integration to this branch would be an extra effort.

3. Zsh project advertising the source hosted in Symbian Developer Network.
    - This doesn't need any contribution to the Zsh project, the integration
activities will have to be maintained by Symbian.

Please post your views about any other sort of possibilities.

Thanks,
Karthik.

That's fine...  I'm expecting that there'll be #ifdef's in the code;
probably the messier part is working out where to put your non-standard
build code.  Ideally, it would be good (both for you to maintain it and
for us not to mess it up) if this could live in a subdirectory, but
Makefile-style files in the source directories aren't a problem.  I think
the major limitation is that we'll have to be careful that the distribution
doesn't come with files that normally get autogenerated.  (I'm not familiar
with Symbian myself.)

Don't really like this one, I think that's likely to be too much effort to
keep going.  I would hope that enough little tweaks could be made by the
Symbian developers to keep the normal code aligned.  The fundamentals of
zsh (OS-related parts) don't tend to change that much.

This is certainly no problem, but it would be worth at least exploring a
better integration.

This is really a good option, having a subdirectory for duplicate files to
which our make files
can point to, but any common changes must be integrated carefully.

We will be cautious in not getting the auto generated files distributed...

After integration, we must make sure that the existing behaviors on Linux is
not broken, so is there any test suite (sort of) to confirm this.?

Yes, it's not completely comprehensive but it's quite good at testing low
level stuff.  (The major weakness is interactive features; we need a
pty-based test harness for that.)  After building the shell, run "make
test" in the Test subdirectory.  Either all tests should pass, or you
should see a plausible message why a test wasn't executed or actually
failed on a given platform.

We shall start exploring this integration from our side.

Which is the latest development branch that you would suggest to base our
integration.?, and other tips that you would like to give us.

About the only game in town is the head of the main branch at sourceforge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/zsh/).

I think the way to start is to integrate any #ifdef's into the source and
send diffs (or pointers to diffs if they're long) to the list for
committing to the archive---not sure if you have separate source files for
Symbian support but we can add those, too.  To begin with you might want to
keep your own build system and we can integrate that once the code is
basically merged.

We have not added any new source files as such, but a file to have the stubs
of signal related (unsupported) functions was added.

I guess 4.3.6 would be right development branch to base my integration ?

It's the same branch (the main one), yes, but you should use the head of
the CVS from Sourceforge.  See http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=4068
for information on anonymous access.  This will ensure the changes are
as close as possible to what will be committed.

Or "make check" in the top-level directory.  I forget whether "test"
