Thank you very much for responding! Hope you are well too.
It is great news to know that you are working on a universal installation script, it gives me hope to run GNUstep (and GWorkspace my goal in particular) on the mac! I will continue testing the script for sure! Best regards! Gregory Casamento <[email protected]> escreveu no dia quarta, 21/04/2021 à(s) 02:45: > Hello Pierre, > > I hope you are well.
