patch for gdk-pixbuf-io.c (815 bytes, patch)

Description Maarten Bosmans 2010-10-04 08:44:31 UTC 
Since the split of gdk-pixbuf in a separate module from Gtk+, the abbility to have relocatable libraries on Windows is lost.

Where previously the gdk-pixbuf.loaders file was searched for in the etc subdirectory if the runtime location, the current behaviour is to search for loaders.cache in the lib subdirectory of the *build* location.

To me it seems as the solution is to adapt gdk_pixbuf_get_module_file() to use get_toplevel() is G_OS_WIN32 is defined, much like in (the now unused) get_sysconfdir()

Yes, this patch solves the problem. I've verified that module loading works again on Windows.

Can this be applied to master?
Perhaps it also warrants a new 2.22 release.
