I have installed the ffcall: $ ./configure --prefix=/home/stevko/Developer/Windows/ --host=i586-mingw32 --enable-shared $ make $ make install Then I did: [EMAIL PROTECTED] base]$ ./configure --host=i586-mingw32 --prefix=/home/stevko/Developer/Windows/GNUstep --enable-ffcall --with-ffi-include=/home/stevko/Developer/Windows/include/ --with-ffi-library=/home/stevko/Developer/Windows/lib/ And I still get: ... checking callback.h usability... yes checking callback.h presence... yes checking for callback.h... yes checking "for forwarding callback in runtime"... yes checking "FFI library usage"... none You do not have either ffcall or libffi installed, or configure needs --with-ffi-include and/or --with-ffi-library flags so GNUstep can find them GNUstep requires ffcall or libffi and proper libobjc hooks to do invocations and DO. (This does not apply on apple-apple-apple systems where DO is not compatible with other GNUstep systems.) You most likely do not want to build base without DO support. Many things, including all applications, won't work at all without DO. If you really want to build -base without DO support, add --disable-do to the configure arguments. For more information, read the GNUstep build guide, ffcall section: http://documents.made-it.com/GNUstep/buildguide.html#FOREIGN.FUNCTION.INTERFACESconfigure: error: Incomplete support for ffi functionality. Thanks for any hints, Stefan Urbanek p.s.: I have created the mingw cross-compilation environment as described here: http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/build%20a%20Win32%20x-compiler% 20for%20Linux -- http://stefan.agentfarms.net First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. - Mahatma Gandhi _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
