- Subject: [SM-Discuss] Easter Egg in gnome-core

Hi sourcemagers.
I was trying to debug a libpng error in configure for gnome-core
misdetecting libpng 1.2.5, and I came across this:
# cast gnome-core
<snip>
checking for CApplet library... found
checking for Configure Easter Egg version >= 3.14... found
checking for GdkPixbuf library >= 0.7.0... found
<snip>
# cat /usr/src/gnome-core-1.4.2/configure | grep -A 2 -B 2 Easter
echo $ac_n "checking for Configure Easter Egg version >= 3.14""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:9017: checking for Configure Easter Egg version >= 3.14" >&5
echo "$ac_t""found" 1>&6
As you can see, it does nothing, but "finds" the "Configure Easter Egg"
version "pi".
Those sneaky gnome developers thought they could slip one past me...
BTW, I downgradd libpng to 1.2.4 in test. Play around in devel and
compile some libpng-using spells to see how big the problem is. If it is
only a problem with a few spells, I'll patch the Makefiles to add the -lm
for each -lpng that the new version of libpng requires.
