Compiling Osirix with GnuStep

[delafond gerard]

Hi all

I am a Doctor, and I am trying to get Osirix (http://www.osirix-viewer.com/), 
a free medical imaging editor with Gnustep.

I installed all gnustep software, I compiled pbxbuild, and tried to execute it 
as said in this page :
http://osirix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/osirix/Documentation/Developers 
Guide/index.html

$ pbxbuild OsiriX.xcodeproj/   

First, I get numerous messages like this:                          
2009-10-17 09:36:56.879 pbxbuild[22110] Warning: Unknown reference type

(looks like some file is missing)

I found this header should be the same as the one in Linux source file. So, il 
replaced
#include <libkern/OSByteOrder.h>
by
#include "/usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6-
desktop586-2mnb/arch/x86/include/asm/byteorder.h"

The error message stops, but the result is as bad :
././Papyrus3/PapyPrivFunctionDef3.h: In function ‘long long unsigned int 
UInt64ToHost(PapyShort, unsigned char*)’:
././Papyrus3/PapyPrivFunctionDef3.h:123: erreur: ‘OSSwapLittleToHostInt64’ was 
not declared in this scope
././Papyrus3/PapyPrivFunctionDef3.h:125: erreur: ‘OSSwapBigToHostInt64’ was 
not declared in this scope


then
make[2]: *** [obj/./Papyrus3/DicomDir/DicomDirDataSetWrite.c.o] Erreur 1
make[1]: *** [OsiriX.all.app.variables] Erreur 2
make: *** [internal-all] Erreur 2

The availability of this program on Linux should be very important to let 
medical establishments switch to free software.

I would appreciate any help which could make Osirix work on Linux

Many thanks
