I don't have experience with this kind of varied environments, so this might be a stupid question...
let's imagine I created this wonderful application with GNUstep. And imagine that for a popular Linux distribution there is a packaged version for GNUstep (base, make, gui & back) made with compiler A and runtime A. And then again, imagine I packaged my application for this distibution, but with Compiler B/Runtime B ; If someone used the package manager to install GNUstep and my application, would this be guaranteed to be working? 2016-12-02 11:16 GMT+01:00 David Chisnall <thera...@sucs.org>: > On 1 Dec 2016, at 21:16, Luboš Doležel <lu...@dolezel.info> wrote: > > > > Dne 1.12.2016 v 17:30 David Chisnall napsal(a): > >> On 1 Dec 2016, at 16:26, Matt Butch <mbu...@volitans-software.com> > wrote: > >>> I’m hoping to be able to use Objective-C on servers, so Mulle-Objc > might be a good option for that.
