Not really ... that variable doens't exist -- where did you find it ? ;-)

You need to put in your GNUmakefile

ADDITIONAL_GUI_LIBS += -lPreferencePanes

before including application.make.

This assuming that you are using the gnu-gnu-gnu library combo ... if
you're using something different or more complex, let me know, as there
can be complications / other options actually.

Yes, -- good point.
