Re: Installing GNUStep under X11 on OSX...newbie...can anyone help please...

[Andrew Sheridan]

Thanks for your advice.

I am very new to compiling. I just wanted to switch into the GNUstep environment and saw the darwinports as a way t do this. I have Tiger running 10.4.3.

When I added the +truedarwin to gnustep-make install, I got further along with the gnustep-base but stuck again...

--->  Building gnustep-base with target all

Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command ". /opt/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh &&

        gnumake messages=yes" returned error 2

I have not the slightest clue as what this means. I have ordered a book on GCC to try and ubnderstand all the various switches and flags. But for now I am stuck. Can you help me get to compiled binaries?

You don't say what OS version you are using, nor did you include the log files. I'm guessing however that you are using the Apple gcc, not the FSF gcc. Or if you do have FSF gcc, it did not install the Objective-C library. You have to download and compile gcc from gcc.gnu.org. GNUstep can't use Apple's gcc.

(Actually, I've been able to compile, but not run, GNUstep using Apple's gcc that comes with Tiger, but that requires a few tweaks that are not included in Startup).

using darwinports will give you the compiler and the tweaks, but not the runtime.
