My notes say that gmake-3.82 broke my build of gstreamer. I found that out pretty quickly and rolled back, so didn't investigate many more packages. (That was under Solaris 10, by the way, if that matters.) I wouldn't necessarily take my feedback as derailing gmake-3.82, just as a warning that it's probably worth testing it more thoroughly. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
