Re: GNUstep app fails on Ubuntu 16

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

The app used to be source code compatible with GNUstep, meaning that I just had to compile the complete software stack (a dozen frameworks, some bundles and the app) on GNUstep and were ready to go. However, I have only really used the app on Solaris 10 with some ancient GNUstep tree so far (worked perfectly). This is my first (serious) attempt to get it to run on Linux with latest GNUstep sources.

The cairo backend produces

and the libart backend

I assume this worked before with the same setup (art backend, etc)? Do you have problems with other images or just gifs? It seems to me some of the errors about may be causing this, but I don't really know. Maybe you could try it with the standard xlib backend.

Do you have WindowMaker installed?

You might also try starting the programs with --GNU-Debug=NSImage and looking for things like:

It might give some additional info.

So others encountered this as well!?
