Re: XCode project to GNUstep GNUmakefile within ProjectCenter

[Patrick Cardona]

Hi Gregory,

Thank You for the aknowledgement about tools-buildtool. I got it and installed 
it from Github, after libs-Xcode.
To test it, I tried to make "Bean.app" from the gap repo.
The app bundle was created as expected, but when I run it, a error arised :

'Bean will quit due to an unrecoverable error. Perhaps the app was renamed 
while Bean was running ?'
'Bean could not find MyDocument.nib'

Even the said missing file is quite there, in the English.lproj subfolder :

pi@raspberrypi:~/Fabrique/gap/ported-apps/Util/Bean $ tree 
build/Bean/Products/Bean.app/Resources/English.lproj/
build/Bean/Products/Bean.app/Resources/English.lproj/
├── Bean Help
├── Credits.rtf
├── InfoPlist.strings
├── Inspector.nib
├── LinkSheet.nib
├── Localizable.strings
├── MainMenu.nib
├── MarginSheet.nib
├── MyDocument.nib
└── ServicesMenu.strings

How I could enhance this behaviour ? maybe a step missing with buildtool ?


Cheers,
Patrick C.
