Re: [gtk-list] Re: continue execution while updating a progress bar? (now thoughts on an Xinstall)

[<nuke bayside net>]

well actually, i was aiming more for a "gmake" or "gnomake" which would
pop up a filebox and let you chooke a Makefile. it would then list all the
jobs it's going to perform, and show their progress in status bars. once i
figure this out, my first priority will be to do just a GUI Make.
somethine more complicated like that will take extra help (any
volunteers?)
