Re: Installing GNUstep using MacPorts
Did you try mailing to macports-users macports-users@lists.macosforge.org? This list is somewhat active, I have no idea whether someone responds to those addresses inside the portfiles. cheers, Lars Am 01.12.2013 um 18:29 schrieb Adam Fedor: I would not use macports.

If by “they” you mean the MacPorts community, we certainly do respond to patches and bug reports. However we are a volunteer project. We have hundreds of contributors, who have volunteered to maintain various packages. Unfortunately, nobody has volunteered to maintain the gnustep packages in MacPorts, therefore bugs filed against those packages might not get resolved. What we need is for someone who is interested in gnustep and understands how it should work to volunteer to maintain and update these packages and address the outstanding tickets.

Trying to install GNUstep on OSX has turned many a programmer prematurely grey. ;-) And this may be a reason why nobody has yet figured out how to do it and translate that knowledge into a working MacPorts porfile. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

The only and current issue are some basic includes and weird declaration errors like: /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Headers/SecItem.h:410:42: error: expected ';' after top level declarator extern const CFTypeRef kSecAttrAccessible ^ /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Headers/SecItem.h:414:43: error: expected ';' after top level declarator extern const CFTypeRef kSecAttrAccessGroup ^ /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Headers/SecItem.h:416:46: error: expected ';' after top level declarator extern const CFTypeRef kSecAttrSynchronizable ^ /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Headers/SecItem.h:418:49: error: expected ';' after top level declarator extern const CFTypeRef kSecAttrSynchronizableAny (…) But, if i get aorund this, there shouldnt be a big issue porting my current way to macports! :) How did you get to this point? What steps would I need to take to reproduce this issue on my own system? It’s hard to know what’s wrong, based on just the information above. For example, I see that the Security framework is being used (presumably this was requested by passing the flag “-framework Security” to the compiler), but you didn’t show what file was being compiled at the time. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
