Hi List,
I was just trying out the new GNUstep runtime, and wanted to check I'd
configured things right. I've got clang 2.9 (svn) installed, along with
gnustep-make and libobjc2 as described below. With that all ready, I tried to
configure gnustep-base and amongst the output I got:
checking the Objective-C runtime... GNU
checking for custom shared objc library... /usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries
The custom shared objc library seems to be pointing to where I've just
installed libobjc2, but the report of the GNU runtime seems surprising – is
this a bug in the configure script, or have I set something up wrongly here?
Thanks
Tom Davie
