Re: How to work in GNUStep?

[Jatin Nansi]

Hi,

IT WORKS.

finally.

I decided to do every thing from scratch. I also did a cvs update.
if only i had cvs updated b4. but now it all works like a charm.

the guide is perfect. i followed it to the letter and everything works.

Thanks all (Dennis, Max & Pete).

Jatin


PS, Pete, try to use cvs and update everything.
I also didnot need to change anything in 
<homedir>/GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults
