# This script gets two paths as argument - and outputs a relative path
# which, when appended to the first one, gives the second one ... more
# precisely, the path of minimum length with this property.
#
# A third optional parameter controls the type of output; if it's set
# to 'strict' it outputs "strict" relative paths that always start
# with the exact sequence of characters './'. If set to 'short' it
# outputs "short" relative paths that might start with './' or with
# '../'. Here are examples:
#
# strict: ./
# short: ./
#
# strict: ./../System
# short: ../System
#
# strict: ./System
# short: ./System
#
# Inside shell scripts (eg, in framework.make) we use the 'short' mode
# because it prevents ugly unnecessary path fragments to get into all
# paths. Inside the configuration system we traditionally use the
# 'strict' mode because NSPathUtilities detects relative paths by
# checking that they start with './'. The 'short' mode might
# become the one used for the configuration system in the future if
# NSPathUtilities learns to detect that '../' also starts a relative
# path.
#
# If no this parameter is provided, 'strict' is assumed for backwards
# compatibility (even if gnustep-make v1 used to default to 'short').
# This might change in the future, so if you are depending on a
# specific behaviour, it's important that you specify the type of
# output you want.
#
# <NB: the paths must be absolute.>
#
# for example,
#
# $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES/print_relative_path.sh /usr/GNUstep/Local /usr/GNUstep/System short
#
# returns ../System (and not ../../GNUstep/System which is not the minimum).
#
# This is needed by `ln -s' to properly create symlinks between
# directories which are related ... but we don't know how. We only
# need this for frameworks, which are particularly complex and
# delicate. For example, to create the link
#
# /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu/libnicola.so
# --> ../../../../Frameworks/nicola.framework/Versions/Current/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu/libnicola.so
#
# (and where the paths are actually computed by make variables which
# might depend on variables in user makefiles outside our control, so
# it's not obvious what the relationship is between the two paths, and
# you only have the absolute paths) we do -
#
# cd /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu/
# $(LN_S) `$(RELATIVE_PATH_SCRIPT) /usr/GNUstep/System/Frameworks/nicola.framework/Versions/Current/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu/libnicola.so /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu/ short` libnicola.so
#
# which creates the link. We need to use the minimum path because
# that is the most relocatable possible path. I consider all this a
# trick and a hack and recommend to use libraries and bundles instead
# of frameworks, since libraries and bundles are much more portable
# and stable, anyway here we are.
#
# This script is also used to create relative paths in the
# configuration system for cases where the location of things is
# relative to the location of something (eg, base library).
# Unfortunately in that case because of limitations in gnustep-base's
# NSPathUtilities, we have to always output a './' at the beginning of
# the result so that gnustep-base recognizes the result as a relative
# path. This means we use the 'strict' output in that case.
# mode=strict means we always need to start our output with './'.
# mode=short means we always start our output with '../' or './'.
