Problem building gnustep-base

[Dennis Leeuw]

Hi all,

Something goes wrong while building gnustep-base with gcc 3.0.4
I just installed the new gcc in /usr/GNUstep
But the configure of gnustep-base returns:

checking for objc/objc.h... yes
checking for gdomap network details... checking for variable length
socket addresses... not found
checking for objc threading flags...
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no
checking size of void*... 4
checking size of short... 2
checking size of int... 4
checking size of long... 4
checking size of long long... 8
checking size of float... 4
checking size of double... 8
checking loading of constructor functions... yes
checking for dlfcn.h... yes
checking whether objc really works... no
I don't seem to be able to use your Objective-C compiler to produce
working binaries!  Please check your Objective-C compiler installation.
If you are using gcc-3.x make sure that your compiler's libgcc_s and
libobjc
can be found by the dynamic linker - usually that requires you to play
with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf.
Please refer to your compiler installation instructions for more help.
configure: error: The Objective-C compiler doesn't work or is not
installed properly.

The configuration I use is:

ld.so.conf:
maggy:/usr/GNUstep/bin# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/GNUstep/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.0.4
/usr/GNUstep/lib


GCC 3.0.4:
maggy:/usr/GNUstep/bin# gcc -v
Reading specs from
/usr/GNUstep/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.0.4/specs
Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/GNUstep --enable-shared
--enable-threads --enable-languages=c,objc
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.0.4

This is all on a plain (stable) Debian 2.2 system with additional
compiled from source:
gcc-3.0.4
ffcall-1.8
gmp-4.0.1
libxml2-2.4.15

This happens with a CVS checkout from yesterday and with one from today,
so I guess I am just missing something.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Dennis Leeuw
