Re: Error logs - Intel OS X Snow Leopard

GNUstep Startup does not support OSX.  Compiling on OSX is pretty difficult (and AFAIK, a bit pointless as there are already libraries on OSX that are similar to GNUstep). You might look in the discuss-gnustep archives for a new MacPorts work by Eric (but that does not work yet on Snow Leopard).  Also you can try this advice from Wolfgang:

Begin forwarded message:

To make this statement more precise, GNUstep *does* work on OS X 10.4 and later, too, but it will not work out of the box with the dependencies built from MacPorts (and I guess from fink either). The problem is not the Apple linker per se, but rather that many of our dependencies nowadays depend directly or indirectly on CoreFoundation on OS X and, unfortunately, CoreFoundation started to depend on Apple's libobjc in 10.4.

To successfully build and run GNUstep on Mac OS X 10.4 and later, you need (at least) to configure aspell with --disable-nls (the nonls variant of aspell should do for MacPorts). Next, you need a freetype configured with --without-old-mac-fonts (unfortunately no help from MacPorts here and the freetype shipped with Mac OS X 10.5 will not work either). Apart from that, configure GNUstep-base with --disable-tls and GNUstep-back with --disable-glx and use either the libart (the default) or xlib backend. Eventually, I may have forgotten some other libraries in this list, but you will notice that when looking at the crash report being produced in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter. Look for a line containing /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib.

Hope this helps
Wolfgang
