Agreed. The configure script test for PDFKit (GWMetadata/gmds/aclocal.m4) is passing the wrong flags ...looking at it, it's clearly written for an ancient version of gnustep and just covers the options that were common some years ago. I have made an attempt at altering it to use the correct flags (by using gnustep-config to provide the flags) in svn trunk, but I don't have PDFKit to test it. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
