It would be definitely nice if the developers of all packages have detailed knowledge of all platforms people might cross-compile their software for and maintained a database of configuration values for these platforms in the package. But that they don't is hardly a *bug*. To include such thing in the package someone who actually cross-compiles it must come and offer the known working confiuration for a specific platform. Did you and was it rejected? Moreover, the only way to tell that a configuration value is wrong is to deploy to the target platform and verify the behaviour there. Which means you should revise the config in any case. Yeti _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
