Hi List, I was just trying out the new GNUstep runtime, and wanted to check I'd configured things right. I've got clang 2.9 (svn) installed, along with gnustep-make and libobjc2 as described below. With that all ready, I tried to configure gnustep-base and amongst the output I got:
checking the Objective-C runtime... GNU checking for custom shared objc library... /usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries The custom shared objc library seems to be pointing to where I've just installed libobjc2, but the report of the GNU runtime seems surprising – is this a bug in the configure script, or have I set something up wrongly here?
