Hi,
Hi guys,
A while back I mentioned that I had been working on a new IDE for
GNUstep. I am now testing out the different environments that GNUsteps
runs to learn more about what I will need to do to make it work best
on clean systems. Anyways, I am far from terminal loving expert and
was just wondering if I could get some help installing a fresh GNUstep
environment on FreeBSD. I simply want the simplest configuration with
wmaker, cairo, Objectve-C 2.0, gnu-base, gnu-gui, /et cetera/. I have
been trying for days to simply compile GNUstep on FreeBSD 9.0 fresh
instillation using the various instructions on the internet and keep
getting all sorts of errors. I would like to simply use the ports
available on FreeBSD to do the job, but have found instructions which
include changing configuration files, to changing etc/make.conf. Where
the instructions on the GNUStep website is as easy as
Where I get a 'needs compiler' error. But Clang and GCC are installed.
Ports should install clenaly, or there is a bug in ports. I think the
freebsd maintainers read this list, but you should rebort the bugs
directly to freebsd.
FreeBSD's 9 default compilers are crippled; gcc got obj-c supprot
removed sinve freebsd8 and thus cannot compile GS, while the default
clang doesn't work either. But you can install gcc or clang from ports
and then instruct make to use it.
I am running gnustep on freebsd compiled from sources without troubles.
each time you configure, do:
./configure CC=/usr/local/bin/clang
(or the equivalent to your gcc installed from ports, to override the
default gcc and clang compilers).
For packages that do not need configure, you don't need this, they will
just work fine with "make".
I do not prefer to use an SVN, I was having more problems with that
then I wanted.
Agreed, it is a bad advice that is often given by developers. However
you can get easily the nightly tarballs that get generated each day as
well as release tarballs, if the releases aren't current enough for you.
I am learning fast, and eventually I want to release the IDE I am
developing for both OS X and GNUstep/FreeBSD (clean environment). Any
help appreciated.
Also, It seems that Ubuntu is the easiest to get it running on, but I
think I'd prefer something with out another setup already installed.
For the quickest way, there is a read-made ISO image for virtual
machine, one step to gnustep.
Installing GS is really simple on most platforms: configure && make
install. On FreeBSD 9 you have the
