What would be great if is I could get GNUstep to just install on FreeBSD following the instructions that are posted on the website. FreeBSD cd /usr/ports/devel/gnustep make install clean Has never worked for me, it also suggested to me the first time that I tried installing it was that was all I needed to do. But then I learned about all the dependencies that may or may not be installed by using that command, and then I realized that I may never get it to work. Or something like that. So I stopped. I am sure that there are more on that list that have since no longer been able to work with the instructions because of how new distributions of the OS are configured. 20 websites later with various instructions and I still can't get it to work. I am far from a terminal wizard, but there always seems to be a "OH what you need to do is edit the configuration file for q3241q234rqwe on that version of FreeBSD" w.e. I am attracted to the dream of GNUstep, but my dream is clearly not exactly what everyone else is dreaming. I think GNUstep needs some goals and leadership. I know what I would nix first: TRYING TO SUPPORT EVERYTHING and not having the BEST options being default. I mean getting Objective-C 2.0 and Cairo seems like climbing a mountain sometimes. At least it used to… I haven't tried in a while. Binary distributions: A while back, I could not figure out why Ubuntu still had old versions of GNUstep. I had thought somebody upgraded them recently, but when I checked it was not so (at least it appeared not so in PackageManager). So I moved on crying. Good instructions for those who know nothing about Unix/Linux world would improve a lot. On Aug 8, 2013, at 6:50 PM, James Carthew <jcarthew@gmail.com> wrote:
