compiles now, since pantomime compiles too.

Thanks to Riccardo, the CVS version now compiles fine.

taking gworkspace from svn, it compiles now too. But I had to add -lt1
-lm to the LDFLAGS so that configure detected the PDFKit, and later
linked against it. Anyways, it segfaults after it starts up. I have to
recompile with debugging symbols, to see why...

this worked already before, was just omitted for the experiment.

this compiles now. I found that the culprit missing include file seems
to be not needed at all.

with llvm, it did not found t1lib.h, so I added /usr/local/include to
the CPPFLAGS, and -lt1 to the LDFLAGS and it worked afterwards. With gcc
it did not had the problem of finding this include. Is gnustep-make
doing sth. differently with the different compilers here?
I have to admit, PDFKit uses the xpdf sources from the ports tree, and
not the xpdf sources that are bundled in the source.

Also here, thanks to Riccardo, the CVS version compiles fine.

Not in the list, but what I got fixed is oolite, it had some plain C
variables declared within @interface, moving them outside fixed the
issue for now.
but running it, I get the console spammed of warnings like this:

also when I try to run SimpleAgenda I get spammed with those lines:

FisicaLab also only just segfaults immediately on startup. Need to
rebuild now to see why.

So the things that are still failing to build are:
steptalk
projectcenter
gdl2
sope (maybe sogo too)
oolite
see below for the errors:

regarding SOPE;
 * what do I do regarding this MethodList_t, is there an equivalent
replacement?
 * what do I do with those friends: error: incomplete definition of type
'struct objc_class'

regarding gdl2:
 * what can I do with the Ivar related things David pointed out already
to use some ivar_* functions, any examples available?

SOPE fails to compile here:
