Re: [XonX-Users] Bug in Darwin.cf

[John D. P. <joh...@ma...>]

What does it break? I'm building Xorg right now and I'm wondering what 
the "correct" fix is. Also, I'm not sure if "cpp3" exists if one 
chooses not to install gcc 3.1 from the dev-tools even on panther. the 
correct behaviour would be to use "cpp-3.1", if we must use 3.1, no?

Thanx,
JP
