Hi, After getting GNUstep-base 1.19.1 working on OS X with macports thanks to Ivan's help, I decided to try base 1.21.1.
I'm running in to some problems now in the ObjectiveC2 framework. 1. The Source/ObjectiveC2/Availability.h file conflicts with apple's in /usr/include. This is because: a) gnustep-make supplies -I. to gcc b) blocks_runtime.c includes stdlib.h c) apple's /usr/include/stdlib.h #includes <Availability.h>, which is in /usr/include, but the copy in Source/ObjectiveC2/ takes precedence because of the -I. This breaks some things in apple's stdlib.h 2. The #include <objc/objc.h> in runtime.c is a problem. I've learned that if gcc thinks it is compiling objective-c (i.e. .m file, or .c file with the -x objective-c flag), and it is passed the -fgnu-runtime flag, it will automatically add the /opt/local/lib/gcc44/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin10/4.4.5/include-gnu-runtime/ directory to the include path, so the #include <objc/objc.h> would pick up the right file. But, since runtime.c is a c file, this doesn't happen, and apple's objc.h in /usr/include/objc is picked up instead. 3. there's an error caused by the -march=i686 flag: 712 :info:build /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.4 blocks_runtime.m -c \ 713 :info:build -MMD -MP -I/opt/local/include -Wall -Wdeclaration-after-statement -DGNUSTEP -DGNUSTEP_BASE_LIBRARY=1 -DGNU_RUNTIM E=1 -DGNUSTEP_BASE_LIBRARY=1 -fno-common -Wall -DGSWARN -DGSDIAGNOSE -Wno-import -pipe -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fgnu-runtime -fgnu-run time -march=i686 -fconstant-string-class=NSConstantString -I../../Headers/Additions -I../. -I../ -I../../Headers -I. -I/opt/local/inclu de -I/opt/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers -I/opt/local/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I/opt/local/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I /opt/local/include/libxml2 \ 714 :info:build -o obj/ObjectiveC2.obj/blocks_runtime.m.o 715 :info:build blocks_runtime.m:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set It goes away if I delete this part of Source/ObjectiveC2/GNUmakefile: 54 ifeq ($(GNUSTEP_TARGET_CPU), ix86) 55 ADDITIONAL_OBJCFLAGS += -march=i686 56 endif I'm not sure why the march=i686 was causing an error. It would be nice to get base 1.21.1 and more recent versions to work on OS X but I'm not sure if I can figure these out..
