Nice hack ;) I also patched that Makefile 'coz those .gmo's that were built at last debuild were left over and caused dpkg-source to freak out... - rm -f core core.* *.pox $(PACKAGE).po *.new.po + rm -f core core.* *.pox $(PACKAGE).po *.new.po *.gmo I've sent this patch to upstream, says he'll look into it... Currently he's working on getting gtklp on GTK2, so I think it's worth telling him about updating his autotools and libtool too (and those `toos' are too much ;P Thanks again for sponsoring this package. And for now, I'm gonna work on that libtool and po stuff... after I finish teaching my students some math... Cheers, Zakame ;) -- |*-------------ZAK B.
