Hi

Now I could go and ask the old maintainer about the intention of the
patch, and if he is fine with it, to actually remove it. On the other side I wonder, whether SystemPreferences would work on Windows, because BUNDLE_OBJ_EXT is set to .dll. I guess, plmerge on Windows would also
cause the same problem like I have seen here.
Otherwise, it probably would be save to remove all the "NSExecutable =" lines from the *Info.plist files that come with SystemPreferences, since the "NSExecutable =" line is created correctly when running make, and
then the rest of it is merged.

Don't ask how, but the current SVN trunk compiles and works on Windows!
ok, now I'm curious, could you please send me the output of make messages=yes when it makes one of the modules, like I did, starting from "Making all for
bundle Defaults...". And also what ends up in the resulting
DefaultsInfo.plist, the NSExecutable with or without the .dll.

Don't know whether this will help me to understand what's going on there, but
who knows ;)

Don't know whether this helps you, but the code happens to work under Windows because NSBundle contains conditional code that adds the .dll extension if it is not present (have a look at function bundle_object_name). Now you could do the same with .so for OpenBSD, but I doubt that this is a good idea.
