I am new to Objective-C and GNUstep, and have spent the last few days trying to get an environment set up with support for blocks and ARC.
Ubuntu 14.04 has several versions of clang packaged for it in the standard repositories, so I thought that would be the way to go, since building clang from source requires a lot of time and disk space. The script here was very helpful in helping me get a working setup: http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/GNUstep_under_Ubuntu_Linux However, when I tried to follow it on a stock Ubuntu 14.04 system, I ran into trouble. I think my difficulty stemmed from the order the script builds things. The post here indicates that GNUstep make should be installed before libobjc2, and then reinstalled again afterwards: http://brilliantobjc.blogspot.kr/2012/12/cocoa-on-freebsd.html So, here is my script for installing Clang and GNUstep on Ubuntu 14.04. I'm hoping it will save someone some time. # inspired by http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/GNUstep_under_Ubuntu_Linux #install build tools and gnustep prereqs sudo apt-get -y install clang-3.5 git subversion ninja cmake sudo apt-get -y install libffi-dev libxml2-dev libgnutls-dev libicu-dev sudo apt-get -y install libblocksruntime-dev libkqueue-dev libpthread-workqueue-dev autoconf libtool cd ~/Downloads #download source git clone git://github.com/nickhutchinson/libdispatch.git svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/core svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc2/trunk libobjc2 export CC=clang export CXX=clang++ #install GNUstep make cd ~/Downloads/core/make ./configure --enable-debug-by-default --with-layout=gnustep --enable-objc-nonfragile-abi make -j8 sudo -E make install . /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh #install libobjc2 cd ~/Downloads/libobjc2 mkdir build cd build cmake .. make sudo make install #reinstall GNUstep make after libobjc2 cd ~/Downloads/core/make ./configure --enable-debug-by-default --with-layout=gnustep --enable-objc-nonfragile-abi make -j8 sudo -E make install #add GNUstep config to shell config echo ". /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh" >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc #install gnustep-base cd ~/Downloads/core/base/ ./configure make -j8 sudo -E make install #install Grand Central Dispatch cd ~/Downloads/libdispatch sh autogen.sh ./configure CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/kqueue" LDFLAGS="-lkqueue -lpthread_workqueue -pthread -lm" make -j8 sudo -E make install sudo ldconfig #install GUI prerequisites sudo apt-get install -y libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev sudo apt-get install -y libcairo-dev libx11-dev:i386 libxt-dev #install gnustep gui components cd ~/Downloads/core/gui ./configure make -j8 sudo -E make install cd ~/Downloads/core/back ./configure make -j8 sudo -E make install _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
