Fwd: Installing GNUstep from FreeBSD ports, some more problems...

Well, I suppose very few people use GNUstep on FreeBSD...

It seems there is something going wrong with the Documentation indeed. The first errors I find during the build is during the execution of autogsdoc:

gmake[4]: Entering directory '/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gnustep-gui/work/libs-gui-gui-0_30_0/Source'

This is the start of a whole series of likewise errors/warnings, but the build conitnues.

until the error I mentioned previously.

I can remove the build of the documention from the Makefile in the port, by commenting the

instruction ${REINPLACE_CMD} -e "s|doc=no|doc=yes|" ${WRKSRC}/GNUmakefile

post-patch:
${REINPLACE_CMD} -e "s|libpng/png.h|png.h|" ${WRKSRC}/configure
#${REINPLACE_CMD} -e "s|doc=no|doc=yes|" ${WRKSRC}/GNUmakefile

but then, I get other errors, also concerning the documentation directories:

Anybody any ideas what to try next to find the problem?

Gregory,

I suppose I install version 2.9.1 of gnustep-make if I see the folllowing:

=> Attempting to fetch https://github.com/gnustep/tools-make/releases/download/make-2_9_1/gnustep-make-2.9.1.tar.gz
gnustep-make-2.9.1.tar.gz 606 kB 2925 kBps 00s

Is there another way to check this version?

What I see is that somehow during the build, a directory Gui is created

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 138018 Dec 29 2022 GSXib5KeyedUnarchiver.m
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2752 Dec 29 2022 GSXibElement.m

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 210 Jan 22 14:59 Info-gnustep.plist

It contains this file dependencies, I attached. But I have not been able to find out how this file is created.

Thanks

Edwin,

NSCollectionViewLayout.h and its associated layout classes were not in gui-0_30_0. I'm confused as to why it's having an issue building docs. Are you certain you don't have a different version of gnustep-make installed?

Yours, GC

Hello,

can I bore you some more with my GNUstep on FreeBD adventures?
I noticed my FreeBSD version was out of support, so I freshly installed FreeBSD 14.0. That made the situation a lot better. The GNUstep ports worked, but the versions of gnustep-make, gnustep-libs and gnustep-back were not the latest. GNUstep-base was up-to-date.

So, i did some updates to get the newest version in the Makefiles of the 3 ports that were out-of-date.

Gnustep-Make build with the latest version, GNUstep-Base in FreeBSD 14.0 is already at 1.29.0 so I started trying to build version 0.30.0. I just had to update the release number, and do some messing with the MASTERSITES variable to get the tarball from git,

But on make install, I got the following error:

make -C ../Source -f DocMakefile
gmake[4]: Entering directory '/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gnustep-gui/work/libs-gui-gui-0_30_0/Source'
cp ../Documentation/Gui.gsdoc .
cp ../Documentation/GuiAdditions.gsdoc .
Making all for doc Gui...
gmake[5]: *** No rule to make target '../Headers/AppKit/NSCollectionViewLayout.h', needed by 'Gui/dependencies'. Stop.
gmake[4]: *** [/usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/Master/rules.make:297: Gui.all.doc.variables] Error 2

(the problem is in the a file Gui/dependencies
NSTreeNode.m \
../Headers/AppKit/NSAnimationContext.h \
../Headers/AppKit/NSCollectionViewLayout.h \
../Headers/AppKit/NSWorkspace.h \
../Headers/AppKit/NSButtonCell.h \
../Headers/AppKit/NSUserDefaultsController.h \
mentioning a dependency of NSTreeNode.m on NSCollectionViewLayout.h.

I have to admit that the file NSCollectionViewLayout.h is not in the Headers files I downloaded with the ports Makefile

edwin@ottopedi /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gnustep-gui/work/libs-gui-gui-0_30_0/Headers/AppKit]$ ls -al NSCollection*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5025 Dec 29 2022 NSCollectionView.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1968 Dec 29 2022 NSCollectionViewItem.h

But I see that same file in Github. Is it possible there is a problem in creating the tarball file for the release-version of GNUstep libs-gui?
As an extra check I manually downloaded the tarball from https://github.com/gnustep/libs-gui/releases/download/gui-0_30_0/gnustep-gui-0.30.0.tar.gz, and there, the file NSCollectionViewLayout.h. is not present either.

I git clone of the repository, and there, the missing file (along with some others, was present:

[edwin@ottopedi ~/GNUstep-Gui-clone/libs-gui/Headers/AppKit]$ ls -al NSCollection*
-rw-r--r-- 1 edwin edwin 23550 Jan 23 21:07 NSCollectionView.h

-rw-r--r-- 1 edwin edwin 2228 Jan 23 21:07 NSCollectionViewTransitionLayout.h

Any help is welcome...
