Then you definitely have some remnants from an old installation. It could be from a debian package (purge removes every file *dpkg* knows about), something in /usr/local or $HOME. I had to install GNUstep on ~20 machines recently, it worked flawlessly with 2.7.0. If you'are trying with the master branch it shouldn't make any difference; there are a few unrelated commits on top of 2.7.0. > Yavor Doganov wrote: >> Or you can install in the USER domain which always takes >> precedence. > > How do I install in the USER domain? make install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=USER Or, if you don't have root access and/or intend to install in the USER domain most of the time, you can put in your ~/.profile: export GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=USER and then use just `make install' which would install in the USER domain. You can still explicitly specify `make install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=LOCAL' in cases when you need to. >> That's what I'm doing and it works nicely except when testing changes >> to GNUstep Make. > > Why don't you install GNUstep Make into the USER domain as well? Well, GNUstep Make introduces the concept of domains, you cannot install it in the USER or any other domain without extra hoops, it honours --prefix. > Now gnustep-base says objc headers are missing, what package is that > in Debian? I already tried objc*dev but the error remains. What are you trying to do? You must have an Objective-C compiler and runtime before configuring GNUstep Make. You build the compiler and the runtime first, then Make, Base, Gui, Back and the rest of the GNUstep world. GNUstep Base has a configure check to detect if there's a mismatch between its own and gnustep-make's configuration. If you have gobjc/gobjc-7 installed, you already have the GNU Objective-C runtime headers (libobjc-7-dev). If you intend to use Clang and the GNUstep runtime, you have to remove gobjc, install clang as a debian package (or build it manually if you wish) and build/install the GNUstep runtime before configuring GNUstep make. There is no Debian package for the GNUstep runtime (aka libobjc2). _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
