Installing GNUstep on Solaris and GNUstep gui on Windows NT

[ramana rao]

Hi,

 

 

We are a company called Orillion, we develop Telcecom Software especially Network Management Systems.

 

Here we are having a NMS called OVista which runs in OpenStep environment, and we are planning to port it to GNUstep. WE need all the help we can for this.

 

We could install GNUstep on our Solaris 2.6 machines, but were having few problems

 

    1.    Everything was installed , but the last utility GDNC could not be built, the following error came

make[1]: Leaving directory `/u01/GnuStep/gnustep-base-1.0.2/Tools'
make: *** [internal-all] Error 2

    2.     After this when we build small applications they were getting built normally, but not so when we include Foundation Frameworks. Errors like above were coming 

 

 

    3. We are planning to port our client-side applications to GNUstep on NT. Foe that we understand first we need to install CYGWIN on NT. Our question is whether GUI of GNUstep runs on NT. The GNUstep document 'How-To" says only base is supported, gui backend not supported? Can we get any further help on it
