Re: GNUstep on OS X

By the way, in case someone is interested in fixing MacPorts rather than publishing an alternative and updated way to compile on OS X, the link to MacPorts bugtracker ticket is here:

Hi,

Has anyone recently installed GNUstep on OS X? 

Apparently, the compile process on MacPorts is quite broken, at least on Snow Leopard. Broken dependency on GCC 4.2 has been removed, but now Apple's compiler is used, for which libobjc-gnu does not exist on my system (that is, nothing has installed it). And according to the log, that's what compile process is attempting to do.

Installing a macports GCC, and attempting to force its use (manually!):

 sudo port install gnustep configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.4

doesn't make things much better. "configure" now passes, and compiler is "able to compile Objective-C", but log reveals that Apple's GCC is used once more (despite "configure" having run with macports-gcc-4.4 as active compiler).

Does anyone have any simple, easy to follow, instructions on how to compile GNUstep on OS X? Is someone on this list tracking MacPorts Portfile's usability?
