RE: Help building GNUstep from scratch

[Michael Sullivan]

Patryk and Johannes,

 

I tried the scripts and I was able to build most of GNUstep with them!  Thanks!
I still haven’t been able to build libobjc2 but at least I made some headway. 

 

To answer your question Patryk, I am building under Ubuntu 20.04.  I’ve uninstalled gnustep from my system and am now installing from source.

One might add that this is the more detailed tutorial from which the
Debian scripts above derive:

Please also note that you usually have to remove all GNUstep
dependencies from apt/aptitude to make the manual installation work.

In case you want to build apt based packages on your own you might try
these sources for Debian source packages which will build the
GNUstep/clang runtime as well:
