Hi Stefan,

there is a bug in the latest gnustep-base release.  I fixed it on  
trunk on 2007-05-02 and it should presumably be put into a bugfix  
release since it prevents packaging.

... but if you can't use trunk and are packaging a gnustep-base  
release that doesn't include it yet, you can make the following one- 
line hand-made change to configure:

 before GNUSTEP_SH_EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES=yes add the line

GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES="$GNUSTEP_CURRENT_MAKEFILES"

that should fix your problem.  I'm sure the next stable release of  
gnustep-base will include the fix. :-)

Thanks
