DOH! If don't work, then I don't need this. Obviosly, the idea is
share code between
my Windows <-> OSX machines.
It is possible to get up a working GNUstep system on OS X, but doing
this is non-trivial. The issue on OS X is that we have two
conflicting Objective C runtimes, the GNUstep one and the Apple one.
Having both linked with your program almost instantly leads to a
crash. Unfortunately, since OS X 10.4 Apple's CoreFoundation library
uses Apple's Objective C runtime and a lot of open source projects
nowadays make use of Apple specific features on OS X, which (directly
or indirectly) use CoreFoundation.
Maybe somebody will have a look at making GNUstep work with Apple's
Objective C runtime (i.e., an apple-gnu-gnu combo), but until then,
you'll have to be brave (and a bit masochist :-) in order to find out
all GNUstep dependencies that use CoreFoundation on OS X and either
disable them during GNUstep's configuration or recompile them in a
way such that they don't use Apple specific features.
