[bug #28814] r29461 breaks building of gui on Windows

[Doug Simons]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #28814 (project gnustep):

Hmm... well, now that you've said the magic words (perhaps setting the status
of this bug to "Works For Me" did it?) it seems to be working for me as well.
I would think that I just did something wrong or got confused, but my
colleague Jonathan ran into the exact same problem with exactly the same
symptoms.

However, at the moment I have updated everything to an even more recent
version of the trunk (r29490), done a make distclean and a make install on
base, gui, and back, and everything seems to be working just fine. One factor
that may be related is that we are setting the installation domain to SYSTEM,
so my actual commands are:

make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM distclean
make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM install

I don't know if that would make a difference. I also noticed on looking
closer that the make_services tool and several other tools in my
GNUstep/System/Tools directory don't appear to have been built recently. They
all have creation dates of 2009-08-14 so I guess they are the original
versions that were installed by the Windows installer package? I would have
thought that the make distclean would delete them and force them to be
rebuilt, but apparently not.

I will check with Jonathan later and see if this problem is persisting for
him, but otherwise I guess it's a non-issue now unless you have other thoughts
about what might be going on.
