There are two solutions to that: 1. source GNUstep.sh inside ./configure. ./configure is a shell script, so I don't see what's the problem with that. You first check that GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES is set, if not you exit with an error. If it's set, you source $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES/GNUstep.sh and then you have all your GNUstep variables available! ;-) 2. do it inside your GNUmakefile directly ... use a Makefile ifeq(,) with a wildcard expansion to check for the existence of the library. If it exists, you include palette.make, if not, you don't. ;-) I suppose we could have a prewritten, ready to use, autoconf check for libraries. Or we could have a gnustep-make macros that expands to 'yes' or 'no' depending if a certain specified library (or tool) is installed on the system or not (I can write that for you)! ;-) Thanks _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
