halle all so far i've had good success building a deployable binary package of my gnustep using application. although there are some issues, the built package seems to launch and run on all recent linux distributions - great!
there is one exception. recent nvidia based laptops have a technology called optimus [1] that is supposed to seamlessly use a integrated and a discrete graphics card. there is no official linux support, linux users currently have to resort to a 3rd party project [2]. optimus users are expected to launch GPU intensive applications (like my game) using "optirun <command>" so that the app uses the nvidia instead of the integrated GPU. however, launching a GNUstep based GUI applications seems to be impossible with optirun, attached is a backtrace that shows that my app is crashing right inside the gnustep window creation routines [3]. i am not sure if there is a problem in GNUstep here, but if someone has some more details or insight that i could attach to the bugreport i am gonna open at the Bumblebee project, that would be great. thanks, julian [1] http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html [2] https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/ [3] Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007f059f13d235 in ??
