gnustep-base and libFoundation together in one GNUstep environment

[Sebastian Reitenbach]

Hi all,

my final goal is to use project center to develop for opengroupware. well, ok, 
fiddling around with the code (:

I installed gnustep-make, -base and -gui on my OpenBSD box, with default 
library combo, gnu-gnu-gnu.

then I compiled libfoundation with library_combo=gnu-fd-nil. no problem with 
that.

then compiled sope and ogo with default library combo, gnu-gnu-gnu.

when I start ogo now, it crashes, with following backtrace:

(gdb) r -WOUseWatchDog NO

I think this is because sope and ogo are using the wrong library combo, as 
they generally are installed using gnu-fd-nil library combo.

so my guess is to install sope application server and ogo with 
library_combo=gnu-fd-nil instead of the default. unfortunately when I compile 
sope, it ends with following error message:

anybody has a guess what's wrong here, and how I might get around that error?

I generally have ogo running in a gnustep-base, libFoundation environment on 
OpenBSD since quite a while, always compiled from source. There must be some 
interference with gnustep-base I think.

any hint much appreciated.

kind regards
Sebastian
