Re: GNUSTEP_WITH_DLL and GSObjCRuntime.h

[Nicola Pero]

If it doesn't build for you, what error are you getting ?

It certainly worked for me ... and at a quick glance the preprocessor code
seems fine.  It's probably easier for us to understand what is happening
if you tell us the error that you are getting. ;-)

Thanks :-)
