Hi, I think I've got a bit further with having a working GNUstep install, but I've not got all the way there yet.
The version of clang that David suggested has the same issue with non-termination for me, because of that, I've dropped back to using gcc-4.4.3. I'm getting some fairly major problems trying to get a working libobjc though. • If I try to link against /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libobjc.a I get this error building gnustep-base: /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libobjc.a(archive.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC • If I try to link against /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libobjc.so I get this error building gnustep-base: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.3/../../../../lib/libobjc.so: undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' ../Source/./obj/libgnustep-base.so: undefined reference to `objc_get_stream_class_version' ../Source/./obj/libgnustep-base.so: undefined reference to `objc_verror' ../Source/./obj/libgnustep-base.so: undefined reference to `__objc_add_class_to_hash' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.3/../../../../lib/libobjc.so: undefined reference to `std::terminate()' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status • If I install libobjc from http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc, then gnustep-base builds, but I don't get the symbols for blocks, so my eventual build of my project fails, specifically like this: ./obj/BDS.obj/Classes/Database/BDDatabase.m.o:(.data.rel+0x4c0): undefined reference to `__gnu_objc_personality_v0' ./obj/BDS.obj/Classes/Network/BDServerSession.m.o: In function `_i_BDServerSession__findExistingOrCreateGameMatchingStats_failureReason_': /home/tatd2/Documents/Battle Dungeon/Classes/Network/BDServerSession.m:231: undefined reference to `_NSConcreteStackBlock' ./obj/BDS.obj/Classes/Network/BDServerSession.m.o:(.data.rel+0x460): undefined reference to `__gnu_objc_personality_v0' ./obj/BDS.obj/Classes/Network/BDRequest.m.o:(.data.rel+0x170): undefined reference to `__gnu_objc_personality_v0' ./obj/BDS.obj/Classes/Server/BDConfig.m.o:(.data.rel+0x130): undefined reference to `__gnu_objc_personality_v0' ./obj/BDS.obj/Classes/Server/BDConnectionManager.m.o:(.data.rel+0x250): undefined reference to `__gnu_objc_personality_v0' ./obj/BDS.obj/Classes/Server/BDConnection.m.o:/home/tatd2/Documents/Battle Dungeon/Classes/Server/BDConnection.m:211: more undefined references to `BN_clear_free' follow ./obj/BDS.obj/Classes/Model/Immutable/Folder.m.o:(.data.rel.ro+0x0): undefined reference to `_NSConcreteGlobalBlock' ./obj/BDS.obj/Classes/Model/Immutable/Script.m.o: In function `_i_Script__newNodePosition': /home/tatd2/Documents/Battle Dungeon/Classes/Model/Immutable/Script.m:204: undefined reference to `_NSConcreteStackBlock' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status • If I install libojbc2 from http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc2, then gnustep-base fails to configure, reporting that my objc compiler doesn't produce valid output: checking whether objc really works... no I don't seem to be able to use your Objective-C compiler to produce working binaries! Please check your Objective-C compiler installation. If you are using gcc-3.x make sure that your compiler's libgcc_s and libobjc can be found by the dynamic linker - usually that requires you to play with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf. Please refer to your compiler installation instructions for more help. configure: error: The Objective-C compiler does not work or is not installed properly. I'm really not sure where I need to go from here. Exactly which libraries should I be building in what order to get this all to work nicely?
