Hello! I've posted the message below to the newsgroup, but it seems to be lost (probably because of the munged email address), so I try to resend it to the list. Apologies if you receive this multiple times.
Regards, BALATON Zoltan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 21:55:08 +0100 From: BALATON Zoltan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: gnu.gnustep.bug Subject: Make package fixes Hello, Attached are two patches to GNUstep make. The first patch prevents scripts that are sourced (e.g. GNUstep.sh) to pollute the environment of the shell. (Since these scripts are running in the current shell all variables remain set after execution unless explicitly unset.) The patch also brings the csh scripts up to date with their sh counterparts. Also some optimisations and cleanups are included. The second patch (which can be applied after the first one) tries to provide additional robustness. It corrects problems with filenames and paths that contain whitespace. Several scripts have problems with quoting. This patch corrects some, but probably there are more. As far as I can tell GNUstep make currently does not support compilation in other directories than the source directory. (Using VPATH like automake does.) Am I mistaken? It can be useful to have a read-only source tree and a separate build directory. Are there any plans to support this? (I'm not sure how much work it would be.) Keep up the good work, BALATON Zoltan -- Sorry for the invalid From: address. To reply write to: balaton (at) eik (dot) bme (dot) hu
