glib-compile-resources have been updated to ensure that the symbols
generated are referred to, so that they will not be optimized out by the
linker in release builds. We can change from /opt:noref to /opt:ref,
which should improve optimization a bit.
This partially reverts de16a4e.
As we now ensure that items using GResources and GConstructors are always
referenced so that the linker does not optimize them out in a default
Release build, we no longer need to enforce the use of /LTCG, so
/LTCG:incremental will work as well.
MSVC 2015 changed its default link-time code generation setting to
/LTCG:incremental, which causes problems if /opt:noref is to be used,
meaning that some code will be optimized out by the linker.
Avoid this situtation here by enforcing the use of /LTCG for MSVC 2010+
builds.
This updates the Visual Studio Project GUIDs so that they don't repeat with
the GTK+-2.24.x ones, as the 3.x projects can be used with the 2.24.x in a
all-in-one solution file (such as when one wants to use a complete GTK+2
and GTK+3 stack when porting Windows applications from GTK+2 to GTK+3), and
each project in a solution file is expected to have an unique GUID.
We need to rename the projects so that when these projects are added
into an all-in-one solution file that will build the GTK+ 2/3 stack,
the names of the projects will not collide with the GTK+-2.x ones,
especially as GTK+-2.x and GTK+-3.x are done to co-exist on the same
system. This is due to the case that the MSVC projects are directly
carried over from the GTK+-2.x ones and was then updated for 3.x.
We still need to update the GUIDs of the projects, so that they won't
conflict with the GTK+-2.x ones.
Use the common automake module from the previous commit in the
Makefile.am's, which means that the Makefile.am's in gdk/ and gtk/ can be
cleaned up as a result. As a side effect, the property sheet that is used
to "install" the build results and headers can now be generated in terms of
the listing of headers to copy during 'make dist', where we can acquire
most of the list of headers to "install", so that we can largely avoid the
situation where the property sheet files are not updated in time for this,
causing missing headers when this build of GTK+ is being used.
Also use the Visual Studio Project file generation for the following
projects:
gtk3-demo
gtk3-demo-application
gtk3-icon-browser
gdk-win32
gdk-broadway
gail-util
So that the maintenace of these project files can be simplified as well.
