Re: [Specifying idl path.]

[Anthony Richardella <zorc3 netscape net>]

Having thought about this a little more, using $GNOME_PATH shouldn't be
necessary for compiling things. Is there a analogy for $CFLAGS that can be
used for passing arguments to the orbit-idl program? Are there any conventions
for setting paths to idl files?

Also why doesn't orbit-idl exit with an error code when it encounters an
error? It prints an error message but make keeps on going afterward.
