Re: Converting xcodeproj to makefile

Uhm, okay. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The header file defines only protocols and interfaces for existing classes.

I added this test that checks if the class of NSDictionary is the class of an instance of NSDictionary, and specified for all NSDictionaries that they implement BSONCoding.

https://github.com/pepijndevos/bson-objc/blob/master/gnutest/gnutest.m#L8

The surprising result, on Mac(which works fine):

Failed test:       gnutest.m:9 ... NSDictionary is an NSDictionary.

On Linux:

Failed set:        gnutest.m:13 ... problem in Array.

Failed set:        gnutest.m:119 ... problem in Null.

Failed set:        gnutest.m:142 ... problem in Number.

Still the same exception in the logs.

Oops, I just noticed some replies that ended up in my spam folder. Really sorry about that. No wonder I got so few replies.

To make a category work, you need to get it linked/loaded in to your program ... which may mean that some code in your program needs to refer to something in the file containing the category.
eg. of the category is in a file foo.m containing the class foo, your code could call [foo class] just so that the linker will pull that into your program ensuring that the category will eb there at runtime.

I haven't looked, but if you need to add base64 encoding/decoding support, gnustep-base already has some base64 methods  as extensions in the GSMime class.
