I was installing GNUStep on a Debian Linux (Fedora) ix86 system... I
used the CVS version, and checked out the whole gnustep hierarchy.
I used the Startup/InstallGNUstep script to build/install.
Everything was fine until compiling the file core/back/Source/x11/
context.c.
There were a bunch of syntax errors that originated at the line:
extern void _wraster_change_filter(int type);
I traced these errors back to:
#include "x11/wraster.h"
This file is the culprit.
I did some research. It turns out I didn't have a modern libwraster
installed on my system. From reading the newsgroups, it was my
understanding that in this case, GNUstep includes its own wraster.h
providing the necessary functionality. However, if I am right in my
interpretation, there's something wrong with this file.
To remedy, I installed libwraster3-dev (using get-apt install), and
then started the build/install over again. This time, it worked
automagically.
So, I thought I would report this, in case anyone cares (and knows
how) to do something to fix it.
