Re: Cannot Build GNUstep Apps

[Jason Thomas]

The problem seems to be resolved.  For some reason the libraries were not getting moved into the correct directories.  After I rectified that and ran ldconfig, it worked fine.

I do have another small issue, which is performance over X.  If I am running any gnustep apps (Gorm, GWorkspace, etc) over an X lan link, graphical performance of the app is extremely poor, ie it takes up to 5 seconds for a repaint of the entire GWorkspace window.  

This is not true of any other X app that I've found, including Firefox, Gentoo filemanager, and other FMs, where the performance degradation over X is the sub-second lag that one would expect, maybe 250ms.

Any ideas here?

How did you build ffcall? On some platforms it must be built like this:

./configure --enable-shared --disable-static
