I installed a bunch of dependencies which was fine, including libdispatch and libblockruntime which are hope are not too old. Next, I installed clang 6.0.1 binaries, then tried to compile libobjc2 1.8.1 which is where I've run into trouble. I'm following the basic install instructions:

mkdir Build

cd Build

cmake ..

make

and it is failing with error:

Do you actually need the "modern" runtime or do you just need current APIs. In case, just stick with GCC.
If you wish libobjc2, then compile everything with clang (and reconfigure/build also gnustep make and base afterwards).

I am having some difficulties with libobjc2 lately, for others it is fine. If you can, get the latest gnustep-make and configure with --library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu and it should be smooth. Richard recently fixed some stuff there.
