This patch fixes the problem that gtk+-0.99.7 was having on Solaris 2.5, where compiling testglib testselection testgtk simple was causing seg-faults and coredumps. It's being caused by a problem in solaris's echo, in particular, it's printf routine. As such, it's only a kludge to prevent the error from appearing, one may hope that Sun will remove it sometime, but until then, this patch is provided to allow compilation on these machines. I don't know what the feeling is on applying it to the release gtk sources, but since the patch does nothing that should hurt anybody else, I think it would be a good thing to put it in future releases of gtk, until such time as a new libtool distribution adds this patch. The patch was generated against gtk+-0.99.7 as distributed on ftp://ftp.gimp.org Enjoy Deon Ramsey (Draco) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deon Ramsey (general Librarygopher) may be reached as: Work: Private: dfkidok@dfki.uni-kl.de ramsey@rhrk.uni-kl.de WWW: Deon Ramsey Or via Snail-Mail: Deon Ramsey Koenigstr. 11 67655 Kaiserslautern Germany Program (Pro'-gram) n.
