Link problems with lib

[Rich Burridge <Rich Burridge Sun COM>]

Hi all,

(I'm not on this alias, so please reply directly. Thanks to cactus for 
helping with this problem, and sending me here).

I am trying to build libgnomeui-1.108.0 which I downloaded from the
GNOME 2.0 beta1 download page:

  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/pre-gnome2/releases/gnome-2.0-lib-beta1/

At build time I get:

...

http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/libgnomeui-2/libgnomeui/gnome-client.c#48

shows where the two externs for program_invocation_name and
program_invocation_short_name are.

In looking at .../libgnomeui-1.108.0/libgnomeui/ChangeLog, there is a comment:

2001-12-08  ERDI Gergo  <cactus cactus rulez org>
 
    * gnome-ui-init.c (libgnomeui_segv_handle):
    * gnome-client.c (gnome_client_new_without_connection):
    * gnome-app.c (gnome_app_class_init): use g_get_prgname () instead
    of program_invocation_name
    
I removed the extern for program_invocation_name, and replaced it's
usage at line 1043 in gnome-client.c with g_get_progname(), and that 
undefined symbol is now solved at link time, but what should be the 
equivalent of program_invocation_short_name (used at line 2253).

Also, can somebody fix this problem at the HEAD?

Thanks.
