I started getting a lot of user complaints about gnome-applets crashing.
I poked around, and found something really bizarre. All of the paths in
config.h were preceded by a '$'. For example:
#define GNOME_PIXMAPSDIR "$/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/pixmaps"
This is caused by the following code in configure:
test "x$prefix" = xNONE && prefix="$ac_default_prefix"
test "x$exec_prefix" = xNONE && exec_prefix='${prefix}'
ac_define_dir=`eval echo $"${pixmapsdir}"`
ac_define_dir=`eval echo $ac_define_dir`
GNOME_PIXMAPSDIR="$ac_define_dir"
If I remove the '$' from the line:
ac_define_dir=`eval echo $"${pixmapsdir}"`
And remove the line below that, config.h is generated correctly. The
reason I'm bringing this up here is I don't know if this is something
that would work in bash (FreeBSD uses the pure Bourne shell), or if this
is caused by a bad autoconf run (which may be systemic to more than just
gnome-applets).
Since I've never seen this on any other gnome-applets release, I figured
I'd ask. Thanks.
