Hi Ethan,

I have encountered a rather hairy issue, which I believe most
likely lies in gnustep-gui but in fact could lie anywhere in the
dozens of dependencies my project has. I am currently porting the
macOS Git client GitUp <https://github.com/git-up/GitUp> to GNUstep on
Clang on Linux, and the examples for using the underlying Git library
called GitUpKit are failing to work properly. The example GitDiff
launches and allows you to select a repository to view. However, it
immediately closes. When I modify -[AppDelegate
applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed:] to return NO, then
it displays an empty window. The same happens with GitDown. Meanwhile,
the example GitY uses a hacky way to allow selecting repositories with
the file picker (which I think is unnecessary), and due to its hacky
nature it doesn't work on GNUstep. I might look into that more, but
the issue of the empty window is very perplexing. I have a build guide
available at
https://github.com/ethanc8/GitUp/blob/gnustep/GitUpKit/DebianBuildGuide.md,
and a more detailed explanation of the issue at
https://github.com/ethanc8/GitUp/issues/1.
your project is complex so daemons may lurk everywhere. I have not yet
tried it, since I don't have its dependencies at hand.
I had a look at this makefile:
https://github.com/ethanc8/GitUp/blob/gnustep/GitUp/GNUmakefile
and noticed that it does not link against GitUpKit, this is at least
suspicious.
furthermore I watched the video in your issue and I see you spit out a
lot of signature issues, I think ther eis a mismatch in versions in your
libraries or some other runtime issue I don't know. Often it is
harmless, but sometimes not.
I would start sorting that out and see if it helps and if it uncivers
other errors that can be looked at.
