Hello,

I am playing with buildtool and xcode.  I have a basic "hello world" window, every-time I try to get it I get this error "This is an XCode 5 XIB file". I found the error message in ./work/libs-gui-gui-0_27_0/Source/GSXibKeyedUnarchiver.m

You are using an older version of the framework.  We are about to release a new version of the libraries that has XIB v5 support.
 

Looking at the code it looks like its checking in there is a "document" defined in the xml. 


When I go to try and build libs-gui-gui-0_27_0 locally (not using the pkg install gnustep-gui) I get the following error

GSCharacterPanel.m:81:10: error: use of undeclared identifier 'TRUE'
  return TRUE;

You should download and build the latest version from github.com.  I have written a script to make this very easy.  Make sure you have clang installed and execute the following line:


That script should download all dependencies and build the frameworks for you.   I recommend uninstalling any gnustep packages you have downloaded for your distro before you run this script.
Before I was too much time... Is there a tool that will convert the xcode 11 xib back down to a version that will work with gnustep?  Is there a simple "hello world" window xib that I could use to see what the differences are?

This is likely a waste of time.  There is no tool to convert the xib back to a previous version and we have already addressed the issue by implementing the newer version.
Could I install gorm and build the gui using it? 

Yes, of course.  Gorm is fully functional and has been for some time.

Thanks,
Alexandra 

My pleasure.

 
Yours, GC
