Then, if you want to use the debug versions, you just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. So you can do something similar here if you really want both versions installed. > 1. remove the difference between shared_obj, shared_debug_obj, > static_profile_obj, etc. too.

Another advantage is we no longer need a symlink > here :-) I would prefer keeping the shared_obj and shared_debug_obj directories, since it makes compiling Debian packages easier (so that I can compile the regular and debug versions at the same time). But if you want to remove the distinction, this can probably be worked around. -- Hubert Chan - email & Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA (Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net) Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
