Yes, but no version of SWIG would alter the Text in a Comment within the file it was processing, or would it? I wasn't aware of SWIG having any "automatic" spell-correction capability but I could imagine that it might be congigured/used to do that. So if SWIG is not responsble for the change to the text in a comment, then what changed the comment in the file SWIG processed, and where is the commit for that ? Apologies if I didn't make what I was asking clear, Kevin PS > For the record, starting with gnucash 4.0 we will no longer ship the swig > generated sources in our dist tarballs, aligning tarball builds a bit more > closely with git builds. Thanks for taking the time to "tidy up" a few loose ends in the 2.x series for me - it's appreciated. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
