Hi, I actually switched to gcc 4 and that cleared a lot of things. I still havent gotten nsalert to work, but with many things turned off, the application does compile now. I tried making my nib files gmodels then .gorms. While that did work, it also really messed things up. The Gorm file is so corrupted that once i save it, i cant open it anymore. There are a few minor things, but beyond that i think OSXnews will have Gnustep sibling very soon, possibly this weekend. I am releasing 2.08 today and will use that code base to make the first gnustep build. I will probably post back on the NG with details and links Thanks, -Anu -- Anurodh Pokharel [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
