[gthumb-list] Another patch (#2) to make 2.14.3 build on FreeBSD

["Ronald F. Guilmette" <rfg tristatelogic com>]

I was unable to have the link step for gthumb 2.14.3 complete successfully
on FreeBSD, at least until I applied the following patch.

Really, I am surprised that _anybody_ was able to successfully link gthumb
2.14.3 on _any_ platform, because it seems rather evident to me that nowhere
in the gthumb/Makefile (or in the corresponding Makefile.in file or in the
corresponding Makefile.am file) was there ever any proper -l option to instruct
the linker to drag in various routines from /usr/local/lib/libgconf-2.a which
are clearly referenced in the gconf-utils.c source file (e.g. the function
`gconf_is_initialized', referenced on line 77 of gconf-utils.c, but also many
many other such references in that same file to routines defined within the
/usr/local/lib/libgconf-2.a library).

        $(NULL)
  


After appling the above patch, a whole huge slew of link-time error messages
went away, and the build process was then able to progress further.


How did 2.14.3 ever build for _anybody_, ever, without any explicit -lgconf-2
option anywhere in any of the relevant Makefiles??

It is very puzzling.
