Following is the error logs I got from running startup/scripts/test-gnustep on a emac running 8.11.0 Darwin(ppc).
********************************************************************* * Startup configuration report * ********************************************************************* -------------------------------------------------------------- E093 Error It appears you are using the Apple cc compiler. The Apple compiler does not compile GNUstep. You need to install an FSF compiler, or make sure that the FSF compiler is found first in your PATH. -------------------------------------------------------------- I199 Information GNUstep is not installed yet. Please proceed with installation of GNUstep as long as you have resolved other errors listed here. -------------------------------------------------------------- W272 Warning You do not have a recent version of the libobjc library. Startup will install one. -------------------------------------------------------------- W403 Warning You need to install the JPEG library (libjpeg)) in order to load JPEG images with the GNUstep gui. -------------------------------------------------------------- E401 Error You need to install the TIFF library (libtiff and libtiff-devel) in order to use the GNUstep gui. -------------------------------------------------------------- W409 Warning You need to install the PNG library (libpng) in order to load PNG images with the GNUstep gui. ********************************************************************* Question is can we put in effort for better automation experience when try to startup gnustep environment ? if needed objc gcc is not installed, why not just compile it using apple's gcc ? This is true for other Unix OS (solaris,opensolaris,hp-ux and AIX etc...) also. knowing compiling gcc is not a small task, but without a gcc with objc support, gnustep compilation can't proceed. Is there other gnustep persion willing to contribute a version gcc source that can be compiled on emac ppc using gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367) ? tj _________________________________________________________________ i’m is proud to present Cause Effect, a series about real people making a difference. http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/MTV/?source=text_Cause_Effect _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
