Hi,

The config line for FreeBSD 11 (zsh), with GNUStep installed from packages:

env CFLAGS=-DGNUSTEP ./configure --with-ns --with-gnustep-conf=/usr/local/GNUstep.conf

Given all the difficulty that seems to surround this, I thought I would confirm that it will actually work before banging my head on this one too much longer.

getting emacs on GNUstep again would be lovable!

On OpenBSD I tried this line:
./configure --with-ns CC=egcc CXX=eg++ LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib

That means, no particular options except those I need to pass to configure gnustep-make itself (I am using a compiler different than the one in base which removed obj-c support)

With 25.1 it configures and get much further than you (did you source GNUstep.sh before? I did not need other flags as you see) but eventually fails during build:
  CC       nsfns.o

emacs 24.5 dies with the same error.

I just commented the declaration out. Build then completes, but I get:

on 25.1:
./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap

GNUSTEP Internal Error:
The private GNUstep function to establish the argv and environment
variables was not called.
Perhaps your program failed to #include <Foundation/NSObject.h> or
<Foundation/Foundation.h>?
If that is not the problem, Please report the error to bug-gnustep@gnu.org.

gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:737: bootstrap-emacs] Error 1

Ideas?
