compile problem

[Sandro Magi]

I was having trouble compiling the gnustep-gui package. These were the 
errors:

GSFontInfo.m: In function `+[GSFontInfo encodingForRegistry:encoding:]':
GSFontInfo.m:248: `NSCyrillicStringEncoding' undeclared (first use in this 
function)
GSFontInfo.m:248: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
GSFontInfo.m:248: for each function it appears in.)
GSFontInfo.m:250: `NSArabicStringEncoding' undeclared (first use in this 
function)
GSFontInfo.m:252: `NSGreekStringEncoding' undeclared (first use in this 
function)
GSFontInfo.m:254: `NSHebrewStringEncoding' undeclared (first use in this 
function)
make[3]: *** [shared_obj/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu-xgps/GSFontInfo.o] Error 
1
make[2]: *** [libgnustep-gui.build] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory

make: *** [internal-all] Error 2s

Seems that they weren't declared properly(or they weren't being used 
properly. I don't think I have out-of-date packages(I just got the newest 
release). Anyway, I managed to fix this by looking in GSFontInfo.m for the 
problematic lines. I then checked NSString.h in 
GNUstep/System/Headers/Foundation, and the only references to Cyrillic, 
Arabic, Hebrew and Greek were NSISO* enum definitions. So I changed 'return 
NSCyrillicStringEncoding' to 'return NSISOCyrillicStringEncoding' and that 
worked fine.

The patch is included on the end of this e-mail. I don't claim to be any 
GNUstep expert, so I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do, but I just 
wanted to compile the dang thing. ;-)  Please cc: me if you want to get in 
touch with me(I'm not on the list).
