On Fedora 21 x86-64 I configured the current Emacs master (commit
cde73794f61fec2a5a8676c2e36ec6634e72cdc5) using "./configure --with-ns",
and this failed as follows:
checking AppKit/AppKit.h usability... no
checking AppKit/AppKit.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: AppKit/AppKit.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: AppKit/AppKit.h: check for missing prerequisite
headers?
configure: WARNING: AppKit/AppKit.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: AppKit/AppKit.h: section "Present But Cannot Be
Compiled"
configure: WARNING: AppKit/AppKit.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##

configure: error: `--with-ns' was specified, but the include
files are missing or cannot be compiled.
Config.log says this (/usr/local/include is an empty directory, I'm running with
pretty much vanilla Fedora 21):
configure:10522: checking AppKit/AppKit.h usability

/usr/include/AppKit/NSWindow.h says this:
#ifdef GNUSTEP
@protocol NSWindowDelegate <NSObject>
#ifdef __OBJC2__
@optional
#else
@end
@interface NSObject (NSWindowDelegate)
#endif
...
#endif
Apparently GNUSTEP must be defined by the application? If I configure
this way:
./configure --with-ns CFLAGS='-g3 -O2 -DGNUSTEP'
the above problem goes away, but the builder shouldn't have to
configure CFLAGS by hand.
Have recent releases of GnuStep changed with respect to whether the application
must define the GNUSTEP macro? Fedora 21 is using gnustep-gui-devel-0.24.0-1;
