libtool problems "resolved"

2001-06-09 Thread John Levon
despite my eariler claim, it was the KDE removal patch causing the problem. It clashes with Lars' changing AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. Lars, why did you change this ? Can it be changed back ? thanks john -- "Someone turn off the good idea tap; we're drowning here!" - Rusty Russ

Larry is of course completely wrong. It's quite obvious: qt is an easy to use, gpl'ed, c++ widget set with a dialog designer, localisation tool, xml libraries, sophisticated table widgets, slots and signals, etc. It would be completely outrageous to replace xforms with qt. We've got a much bett
