Re: Compiling on AMD64 architecture

[Armando Di Cianno]

Pete,

I'm putting together new and modern ebuilds for GNUstep on Gentoo, and 
during my initial phase, I've had moderate luck running GNUstep on 
AMD64 ... I don't have graphical access to a box, so I',m stuck for 
testing.  However, some users reported only general sketchiness and 
most apps would bomb out after clicking "apply" in any prefernces 
window.

If libffi is your problem, please find a copy of my libffi ebuild that 
is against 3.4.1 for amd64.  Ebuilds aren't terribly hard to read, and 
this should put your in the right direction.

... if you have any luck with this, please let me know.  There's a 
good handful of Gentoo AMD64 users who wanted to give GNUstep a go.
