Hi all,
I am trying GNUstep GUI on Linux for the first time. I have installed GNUstep
on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 box like so
su -
apt-get install --yes --force-yes build-essential
apt-get install --yes --force-yes gobjc
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libffi6 libffi-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libxml2 libxml2-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libxslt-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libgnutls-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libjpeg-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libpng-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libtiff-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libxt-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libxft-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libcairo2-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes libfreetype6-dev
apt-get install --yes --force-yes git-core
git --version
mkdir /usr/src/GNUstep
cd /usr/src/GNUstep
git clone https://github.com/gnustep/tools-make.git
cd tools-make
./configure --enable-debug-by-default --with-layout=gnustep
make
make install
cd ..
. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
git clone https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base.git
cd libs-base
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/gnustep/libs-gui.git
cd libs-gui
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/gnustep/libs-back.git
cd libs-back
./configure
./configure --enable-graphics=art
make
make install
cd ..
ln -s /usr/src/GNUstep/tools-make/openapp /usr/local/bin
built my source tree and started the app first under the normal Ubuntu window
manager.
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
This worked not at all. I then tried
apt-get install wmaker
This worked a lot better. I at least got the application menu and was able to
log into in application. But as soon as I try to an application window I get

and the app malfunctions (window is not drawn, app hangs).
Any idea what this is caused by or what I could do to investigate this any
further?
Thanks a lot,
