Fix the various library checks to use this. Meanwhile, remove a bunch of old cruft and reorganize a little. * acconfig.h: Remove cruft svn path=/trunk/; revision=8997 --- README | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 425cf2c178..dcc0ca6206 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -33,6 +33,12 @@ or one of its dependencies to compile, try running the "verify-evolution-install.sh" script in the tools/ subdirectory.
