Building libobjc2 can be from easy, "just works" to a nightmare, depending on a platform. Best, of course, is if it comes ready for your OS. > Hm, I'll give that a try,. > But to build a product, I want to know that my users can install it > without all the monkey business. Otherwise it becomes a support nightmare. GCC almost always "just works" if the operating system provides it. If you don't need Obj-C2 features for your app, it is usually a very easy path and that's why I love it. Except FreeBSD, where you mention working. THhere the situation is complicated, because GCC provided has its obj-c runtime removed, supposing you to use libobjc2, which won't work. SO I abandoned that path, but compiled libobjc2 from sources.
