Re: Installing GNUstep from FreeBSD ports, again

[Edwin Ancaer]

Richerd, Sergei,

it works now: I must admit I did not know that the User Domain was the GNUstep directory in my home directory. And there was indeed a Gorm version that had escaped my attention. My sincere apologies for keeping you busy like that.

I wonder now if there is anybody using GUstep on FreeBSD that could help with getting the ports up to date again? I don't know if my messing around is good enough for that.

I have, installed from the local ports, in FreeBSD 14, build from the GNUstep git-repository: 

GNUstep tools-make 2_9_1

GNUstep libs-base 0_29_0

GNUstep libs-gui 0_30_0

GNUstep libs-back 0_30_0

As a test, I installed ProjectCenter and Gorm, and build the Convertor Application in https://gnustep.github.io/experience/PierresDevTutorial/index.html.

Kind regards,

If this is the official FreeBSD package, then it should go in the system domain;  that's what the system domain is for.
Things you build for yourself typically get installed in the local domain (this is the default) ... unofficial but available to all users of the machine.
Things intended for your personal account only, you should install to the user domain.

Lookup to find software normally goes in the reverse order; so if you try to run Gorm,  your user's copy is preferred, but if there isn't one, the local copy is used, and if there isn't one of those, the system copy is used.
