NOT everyone is using LinSux.
And yes, I know SVN isn't supposed to be stable.
But that doesn't mean a developer shouldn't use some care when
uploading new code.
Stunts like that doesn't help GNUstep.
I suspect that comments like that do a lot to put developers off
working on GNUstep, doing immeasurably more harm than breakage of
code in svn-trunk.
The implied notion that a change must be tested on all platforms
before submission to svn-trunk in order to qualify as demonstrating
'some care' is frankly ridiculous and insulting.
The best way to report a bug is politely, and with helpful detail
about where it actually occurred and on what system it was running etc..
Now, anyone using gnustep-make must be using gnu-make, which supports
the --version flag. So the question is why your system barfed? It
must have been running some other make somehow.
I'm not familiar with the most recent changes to gnustep-make, so I
don't actually know where your problem is coming from. Is this the
configure script? If so, I guess the configure script needs to check
that it has gnu-make before trying to use it.
Any chance you could submit a patch to fix it?
