It is the one described at http://www.gnustep.it/nicola/Tutorials/WritingMakefiles/node4.html It is supposed to display a simple string and a return button ; as the window i get is entirely black i can read nothing but i guess the text is here, anyway
I suggest testing a real app. Right. I tried the calculator from gnustep-examples. It works in the sense that the calculator appears. But either the buttons or the menus are unreadable (light grey text over grey colour) and nothing is visible in the calculator 'panel' I also noticed that for every app i run, i get the error message: Failed to locate strings file Localizable Cheers, Nicolas ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- _______________________________________________ Help-gnustep mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnustep
