Well, they only leave them when the system is configured appropriately, but more importantly, Ubuntu/Launchpad buildbots are ephemeral: they're set up freshly for each package build, and destroyed immediately afterwards. So even if I could access them, I doubt it'd be of much use... > I also supect some of your configure options > > ./configure CC="clang" CXX="clang++" LD="clang" > CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector > --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -O3 -fvectorize -g > -fblocks -fPIC -pthread" \ > OBJCFLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 > -Wformat -Werror=format-security -O3 -fvectorize -g -fblocks -fPIC -pthread" > LDFLAGS="-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro " \ > --disable-bfd --disable-mixedabi --with-installation-domain=SYSTEM > > could you leave out all the CFLAGS and CPPLAGS as a test? I ran exactly the same build procedure (Debian packaging layers atop GNUStep's own build system) locally on my own system, and there it worked fine. So I did something else that led me to the problem: I tweaked gnustep-tests and made sure that my version was used. I first tried to set up signal traps in it that would connect a debugger to crashing process, but that didn't work out. So I added a "--backtrace" option, which basically runs the test from inside a debugger, and always asks for a backtrace when execution stops. I surely could have whipped up something more elegant, but this crude approach showed that the crash occurred under [NSStringClass performSelector: @selector(initialize)] and that led me to realise that Ubuntu's dependency list didn't include gnustep-libobjc2 ... Apparently the code *links* fine against the GNU/GCC ObjC runtime (libobjc4) but applications won't run ...
