Re: GNUstep on 10.7

[Adam Fedor]

Well, if you removed it and it still worked, that probably  means there was 
another libffi somewhere.

And if you are using clang, you probably want libobjc2, not libobjc. You should 
look at the instructions that David sent a link to.

To install. Make sure you source the GNUstep.sh script

. /System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

(make sure the patch is correct for where you install GNUstep).  If that still 
doesn't work, it's because sudo does not pass on environment variables, and 
you'd have to do something like

sudo make GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/System/Library/Makefiles install
