Re: Tool distribution

FYI, help-gnustep is a seldom used mailing list.  You have a better  
chance of getting your question answered on discuss-gnustep.

The first three messages are due to the fact that some of the  
resources (time zone information, locales) are not found.  You can  
probably just ignore those (unless your tool makes use of  
NSCalendarDates, etc), although it seems like the code in GNUstep  
could do a better job of finding the right time zone when there are no  
resources.

The last message seems to be unrelated to a resource or static/shared  
problem.  Do you get this with a normal shared build?  Perhaps you  
could debug it and see where it is coming from.
