Unable to compile gnustep-baseadd with apple-apple-apple

[Stéphane Corthésy]

Hi,

I tried to compile gnustep base, from CVS sources, on Darwin, using 
apple-apple-apple combo, but failed to (I installed gnustep-make before 
and did the compilation using gnustep native system, not MacOSX files).

There are two main problems: linker is unable to link gnustep-baseadd, 
due to a problem with libxml2,

 Linking library libgnustep-baseadd ...
ld: Additions/./shared_obj/subproject.o illegal reference to symbol: 
_getColumnNumber defined in indirectly referenced dynamic library 
/usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib
/usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed

 and make wants to compile SSL bundle whereas it shouldn't do it for 
apple-apple-apple.

I don't know what to do.


Then here are some patches for sources:

- In Source/Additions/GSLock.m: we need to #include 
"GNUstepBase/GSCategories.h" to get definition of -[GSLazyLock 
gcFinalize] and -[GSLazyRecursiveLock gcFinalize]
- In Source/Additions/GSObjCRuntime.m and GSXML.m: we need to declare 
+[NSObject methodForSelector:] somewhere to avoid compiler warnings, 
because Apple forgot to do it (this bug has been filed to Apple).
- In Source/Additions/GSXML.m: we need to declare

@interface GSXPathObject(Private)
+ (id) _newWithNativePointer: (xmlXPathObject *)lib
                     context: (GSXPathContext *)context;
@end

at the beginning of the file, to avoid compiler warning. In 
@implementation GSXMLParser, the variable must be of type NSHashTable* 
instead of NSMapTable*
- In Tools/AGSHtml.m: at lines 1577/1579/1583, local variable "name" 
should be renamed "nam", because there is already a variable "name" in 
parent block.
- In Tools/AGSOutput.m: at line 1846, variable "c" should be 
initialised with 0, to avoid compiler warning


BTW, gsweb uses objc_thread_id() implemented in thr-pthread.m, but this 
file is not compiled when we compile only gnustepbase-add.
One more thing: isn't gnustep make system able to create a framework 
out of gnustepbase-add?

Cheers,

Stéphane
