True the program "gtk-update-icon-cache" seem to have a bug in it. It does not honor the option "--force". Whether or no another bug exists in not honoring --ingore-theme-index is another question. But, I want to know why the build process get suckered into/ or bugged into building an invalid "cache" according to "gtk-update-icon-cache". Clearly something is wrong. There a bug and I want to track it down. I should hope that the deveopers would as well. The developers, should not the bugs (if not illuciate why not). Good code, does not flunk like this. It should at the very, very least. give some hints as to why it considers a "cache" to be invalid. Then one can dig in a bit deeper to try to cure the illness, which in this case is a "make" crash. regards, d.j. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
