win32	win32: install theme manager by default	2013-10-20 03:37:58 -04:00
.gitignore	win32: Use version information from configure.ac to populate the Windows-specific files that need it - config-win32.h, version.txt, hexchat.rc, hexchat.iss	2013-10-12 18:41:27 -07:00
.travis.yml	Update travis to build theme manager	2013-08-28 13:32:35 -04:00
acinclude.m4	On my system (openSUSE 12.2 / GNU bash, version 4.2.24(1)-release (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu) ), the shell doesn't like that the '=' character in 'if test...' doesn't have spaces around it. This causes the test to always be true, and thus the AS_AC_EXPAND macro only expands once. This led to two #define's in config.h containing broken values: HEXCHATSHAREDIR and DBUS_SERVICES_DIR.	2012-09-20 22:04:14 +08:00
