IIKRC Solaris is a complete pain because you need to bootstrap a working 64bit compiler and then figure out the special flags the compiler needs. CentOS on the other hand is really easy and should just work. But I think the rather ancient version (5.4) comes with a crappy old version of gnutls (and openssl with security holes, though probably there are update available for that), so you would probably want to build/install the current release of gnutls from source. I'm currently developing on CentOS-6.5-x86_64 and that's worked well (though I do server stuff without gui code). _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
