Hi,
thank you for your help. 
I try to configure gstep-core (20010205) with --enable_ffcall option, but configuration process don't detected ffcall library (probably problem is that "forward callback in runtime" was detected as 'no')  . I have compiler: gcc 2.95.2.
Here is the fragment from configure log:
......
checking for strerror... yes
checking whether stdint.h defines uintmax_t... found
checking for register_printf_function... no
checking for realpath... yes
checking program_invocation_name in C Library... no
checking kernel support for /proc filesystem... no
checking short/int needs to be word aligned... yes
checking use of pass-through arguments... no
checking use of fake-main definition... yes
checking for ffi.h... no
checking for forwarding callback in runtime... no
checking for callback.h... no
checking FFI library usage... none
configure: warning: No ffcall interface library found

GNUstep requires the ffcall library to do invocations and DO
Make sure this library is installed (see installation instructions)
Otherwise DO will not be compatible with other systems
checking for xml-config... /usr/local/libxml/bin/xml-config
checking for libxml - version >= 2.2.3... yes
.....


How can I detect if my compiler works properly for invocations/distributed objects ?


Thank you for any help.
