RE: Was GNUstep ready for GNUstep ?

[Riccardo]

Hi,

I think Nicola writes some wise stuff. As a GAP developer with limited 
time, I can't check always all the Applications on all Releases... so 
I may not even be aware of a certain problem.
Contacting the authors is a good thing!

Yes. This is a very important point. I use ProjectCenter for almost 
everything if I am able to use it. If ProjectCenter generates 
"outdated" makefiles or anyway wrong makefiles, it is a big problem. 
Patches to the makefile will be just overwritten by the automated 
generator.

I think the ProjectCenter could need a minor release which updates it 
to compatibility in both compilation of itself i f necessary as well 
as the makefiles it creates. This should be done soon and without 
waiting for furhter stuff to be released. Just a maintainance release.

Thanks,
