This bit indicates that you didn't build CEF first. This appears to be a documentation issue on my part. I am doing a meeting today about GNUstep it was posted to the mailing list. You're free to come if you like. I am going to show it there. I am going to revise how it's built afterwards to make sure people get it right. I will likely write a script to automate the entire process. Yours, GC On Sat, Jun 13, 2026 at 4:55 AM Gregory Casamento <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for the feedback.
