Well, that is the naming of the included library, which I circumvented 
temporarely by making:

% ls -l /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries
libgnustep-base.so -> 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Foundation
libgnustep-db2.so -> /Library/Frameworks/EOAccess.framework/EOAccess

I do agree, that this should also be covered in configure/makefile, but 
there seems to be another problem with this empty "-l". Because the 
issue remains even with the links.

That's what I wanted to say: 'libgnustep-baseadd' is called 
'GNUstepBase' on MOSX. Which means, that in the makefiles, we should 
have something like this:

Or we should split the included libgnustep-base into 'Foundation' and 
'GNUstepBase' on MOSX

I will be on the usual IRC channel – if you need me.


Thanks!
