yes I did. the checkout is fine. I just found a way to work around after cmake .. ... I edit CMakeFiles/objc.dir/link.txt and remove the word "pthread" in it. I can't figure out where it comes from. I have to leave this to the Cmake experts..
cmake also complains about some project() missing but that seems to be just a warning. Maybe this might be triggered by a new cmake. I downloaded the cmake 3.16 today from cmake.com <http://cmake.com/>. The stock debian cmake (3.13.4) is not good enough for libobjc2 apparently. Now I can compile gnustep-base The following tests are failing: base/NSArray/blocks.m: Failed test: blocks.m:31 ... Can forward enumerate array concurrently using a block base/NSRunLoop/dispatch.m: Skipped set: dispatch.m 118 ... No libdispatch, no blocks support or no runloop integration hooks in libdispatch and one more about an empty plist file. The dispatch one puzzles me a bit because libdispatch was explicitly installed and export OBJCFLAGS="-fblocks" was set Not sure if I should worry about that. Personally I don't use "GrandCentralDispatch" aka libdispatch but I usually want to build the base libraries so someone could use it. gnustep-gui complains about configure: WARNING: The International Components for Unicode (ICU) development headers and libraries do not appear to be available on this system. despite libicu63 and libicu-dev packages being installed ./configure --disable-icu-config fixes that (apparentyl theres no pkg-config file for libicu) a few warnings about depreciated stuff in CUPS, I have a gnustep-gui 724 Passed tests 15 Skipped sets 1 Dashed hope I also noted that gnustep-base is version 0.27.0 and gui and back are 0.28.0.
