Re: Buildtool : other attempt to build a ported app : the Bean.app example

[Patrick Cardona]

Hi Gregory

The fix on NSFileManager is working well for me too. I am now able to make Bean 
with Buildtool from the gap Repo and to get the app running as well. So I can 
go on now to test more ported apps from MacOs.

Just a thing I noted : if you run 'make test' with the new gnustep-base, some 
tests are failing. It might be something RFM could look at too.

Cheers,
Patrick
