Re: Installation issues debian 8.2

[Tristan Bellogi]

Hi,
Thanks for you answers... yet even if ain't succeed already ;-)

As previously told, I've install GNUstep-VM-0.9.6 within my Virtulabox: easy to do and it works like a charm!

But I would have a working GNUstep install on my latest debian 8.2...
So I've done a fresh Debian install on a brand new HD then reboot, download Ivan Vučica' GNUstep installation script, cd to

~/ivucica-gnustep-ubuntu-install

for finally isssuing:

sudo WITH_TRUNK_LLVM=1 ./GNUstep\ with\ libobjc2\ on\ Ubuntu.sh

00-ubuntu-deps.sh, 05-vcs-checkout.sh.sh ran well... but 10-build-llvm.sh abort with th following message:

configure: error: In-source builds are not allowed. Please configure from a separate build directory!
Failed building trunk LLVM and Clang...

I've added some TRACING to ivan script... and relaunch the scrip with:

sudo WITHOUT_CHECKOUT=1 WITH_TRUNK_LLVM=1 ./GNUstep\ with\ libobjc2\ on\ Ubuntu.sh

Now I got:

> Skipping checkout from VCS
> Tristan:TRACING (10-build-llvm.sh - 1rst line)>> actual working directory = /usr/local/src/GNUstep/ivucica-gnustep-ubuntu-install

The goal is:
Porting a naval architecture system from Mac OS X to Linux. The system itself has been developed following the GTKCad project specs...
My customer will from Mac to Linux if and only if Development and Maintenance of the system could be as easy as onto the Mac... What is not actually the case... And Customers are'nt developers, they don't care to know why it doesn't work, they only want the thing are working actually...

OK, being here, I'va also installed a fresh Ubuntu onto a separate partition of our new HD... Ivan' script does the job! I've a GNUstep dir in ~/, another in /usr and after compiling some code of my own I can successfuly run opentool myTool and/or openapp meApp.app

The question st'ill remain the same: Howto install GNUstep/Objc2 onto debian 8.2 (just because for obscure my customer doesn't want Ubuntu but Debian... and a customer is to treated as a KIng...)

Debian installer seems to install llvm-3.5 by default (not clang, just llvm) ?

Thanks in advance for any help
