Thanks Yves ... a few comments: 0. yes, you should upgrade! :-)
1. if you find something that is not ready for gnustep-make 2.x, fix it and submit patches to the authors ;-) 2. if you find anything that is not ready on the GNUstep repository, send me the patches (or just the bug report) and I'll fix the makefiles and commit the changes myself 3. if you can't fix an external software, I'll fix it for you. Just send me the code / a link to the code :-) 4. I actually already submitted patches upgrading their makefiles (in a backwards-compatible way) to a few external projects (I tested gnustep-make 2.x on a variety of random GNUstep projects I downloaded from the internet), but I'm not sure the changes were ever incorporated as I don't think I got any reply Finally, ProjectCenter is particularly difficult because it's not just a matter of compiling the program, but the program itself is creating/maintaining makefiles. I guess I'll slowly update/fix it as reports come in. Thanks PS: And upgrading to gnustep-make 2.x can't harm too much because it you use it in the same way as you used gnustep-make 1.x, everything (well, almost) should work the same -----Original Message----- From: Yves de Champlain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sat, April 28, 2007 7:03 pm To: GNUstep Discuss-gnustep <[email protected]> Subject: Was GNUstep ready for GNUstep ? Hi After upgrading to make-2.0, I find many many many packages now just break at compile (I'm not tlaking about my personnal issue with back-0.12). Is it too early to upgrade ? Like it is for Vista ? (oh boy, that was mean ...) I'm provoking a bit, but it would have been darn simple if every developer had taken a __few_minutes__ to fix his own stuff. - Many packages still die trying if GNUstep.sh was not sourced - Some try to link with Framework/Version/A - Some have GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR all over the place I mean, why doesn't anybody care ? I find make-2.0 very a good step (not joking), but even ProjectCenter, a core GNUstep app is not "2.0- ready". Ok, I admit, I had a rough day yesterday ... and I always say coding is better than yelling, but every now and then, the great discussion of "The Future of GNUstep"(TM) comes along on this list, what else can I say ... I feel like it will be many months before I can upgrade gnustep-core without patching 20 or so other packages. Bleak future if you ask. yves _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
