GitUp's GNUmakefile is not complete, because I haven't dared to try
building GitUp without a working CAAppKitBridge.

This is because libgit2 has C structs which inherit polymorphically from
struct git_object, and I have methods which take pointers to instances
of various subclasses of struct git_object. I don't know what the
correct way to deal with this in libobjc2 is, so I just ignored it.
I will probably try to look into this more later, and see if there are
any odd tricks being used by the application.

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:

I would start sorting that out and see if it helps and if it uncivers
other errors that can be looked at.
