Re: cannot install...

[Ricardo 'Dino' Strausz]

Hola Adam y David,

I went directly to NSGraphicsContext.m and comment some conditional lines (where the _gcontext variable appear) and I was able to compile all the way up to Gorm... however, macports is not finding GDL2 anywhere... could you please be so kind to point me to a site where I can directly download it? (see log below)

to be honest, this is very frustrating...

I hope this process is finite; if so, I will try to make a .dmg with a .mpkg of my configuration and put it in a public place... (can I?)

Since I really do not know how GNUstep works, I decided to follow all the 'default' dependencies of GDL2; but, as you are suggesting, GDL2 should work directly on top of Cocoa + gnustep-base... can you please point me to detailed instructions on how to do this?

Mil Gracias!!
Dino
