Re: Trouble building base with clang

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Philip,

could you please provide the log messages you get from running those commands? 
At least the error message?

And you definitely shouldn’t be using the Boehm GC any more. I did not look 
into the guide to see what else is outdated there. I am not using clang myself, 
except for a Dockerfile that I use to get the Coverity scan results for GNUstep 
base.

Cheers,
Fred
