Actually the one in FreeBSD 7.x is libobjc.so.3. The release note of FreeBSD 7.0 states that there may be ABI changes: The shared library version number of all libraries has been updated due to some possible ABI changes. The libraries include: snmp_*, libdialog, libg2c, libobjc, libreadline, libregex, libstdc++, libkrb5, libalias, libarchive, libbegemot, libbluetooth, libbsnmp, libbz2, libc_r, libcrypt, libdevstat, libedit, libexpat, libfetch, libftpio, libgpib, libipsec, libkiconv, libmagic, libmp, libncp, libncurses, libnetgraph, libngatm, libopie, libpam, libpthread, libradius, libsdp, libsmb, libtacplus, libthr, libthread_db, libugidfw, libusbhid, libutil, libvgl, libwrap, libypclnt, libm, libcrypto, libssh, and libssl. > >> I will check the libobjc in FreeBSD ports and see. >> Changing libojbc requires recompilation of GNUstep and Etoile, >> which is quite annoying. :) > > You can probably just tweak loader.conf. I installed the one from ports and link the libobjc.so.3 to the GNUstep one, and the failed tests stay. Anyway, I am not pushing to get it fixed. Just report what I found now. By the way, is there any difference between the one from GNUstep and the one from GCC 4.x ? Any chance to use the objc runtime in David's branch for GNUstep ? Forgive me if I miss such discussion before. :) Regards Yen-Ju > > David > _______________________________________________ > Etoile-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss > _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
