Re: PNG icons no way!

[Nicola Pero]

Yep - I suppose this is sort of a FAQ - I paste in an old answer -

"Make sure you have built PNG images support into GNUstep - you just need
to install the WindowMaker libwraster library (version >= 2.0) before
configuring and compiling GNUstep (GNUstep uses libwraster to read (and
write) PNG images)."
