Re: Undefined references to glib-functions when compiling nautilus

[Clemens Buss <cebuzz gmail com>]

Hi,

thanks a lot Manny. It seems to build now. I did some other voodoo, too
because it didn't from the beginning with your hints but I really guess
that was not necessary. I will probably blog on that, describing my
whole setup asap.


So now I have nautilus with tabs. Greets to gicmo and the spatial
fraction ;-)
