Hello,
I checked the sources and Project Center defaults to calling NSWorkspace which
in turn calls xdg to open files. So I will leave it at that.
As to the GNUmail error, I ran the program through GDB and the following call
in NSThread is returning null :
line 619 : NSThread *t = pthread_getspecific(thread_object_key);
where the value for thread_object_key is 0 (as seen in gdb). Since this is the
first thread that is created I guess this is normal, because no set was
previously made
It then does :
if (nil == thr)
{
NSValue *selfThread = NSValueCreateFromPthread(pthread_self());
...
which also returns null. This I think it should not return null
it then does :
if (nil == thr)
{
GSRegisterCurrentThread();
thr = pthread_getspecific(thread_object_key);
if ((nil == defaultThread) && IS_MAIN_PTHREAD)
{
defaultThread = RETAIN(thr);
}
}
but unless it was set in some other place, the variable thread_object_key is
still 0, so thr should still be null after this.
And then the assertion :
assert(nil != thr && "No main thread”); is reached, and there’s the error I saw
in the console.
I noticed that I can make GNUMail if i first run the GNUStep.sh script from the
makefiles project, and then the error running it.
If I don’t run the GNUStep.sh script and do make on the command line I get :
This is gnustep-make 2.7.0. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help' for help.
Running in gnustep-make version 2 strict mode.
/usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/config-noarch.make:121: ***
GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT is obsolete. Stop.
