Hi, getting a working clang+libobjc2 is a small saga now :-P I want to update my FreeBSD 12.1 laptop too. I did the same setup I did on my FreeBSD 11.3 workstation and it does not work, I am puzzled.
configure make: ./configure --prefix=/ --with-layout=gnustep --with-library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu ( I did not specify anything about the linker) configure and install libobjc2 (to get the latest one, the FreeBSD supplied version is still faulty and causes crashes) The generated libobjc2 has: $ ldd /System/Library/Libraries/libobjc.so /System/Library/Libraries/libobjc.so: libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x20842000) libcxxrt.so.1 => /lib/libcxxrt.so.1 (0x2086b000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x20887000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x20446000) $ then when I configure base, the objc test fails with one missing symbol: configure:7860: checking whether objc really works configure:7880: clang -o conftest -g -O2 -I/Local/Library/Headers -I/Local/Library/Headers -I/System/ Library/Headers -I/usr/local/include -I/System/Library/Headers -x objective-c -L/Local/Library/Libra ries -L/Local/Library/Libraries -L/System/Library/Libraries -L/usr/local/lib -L/System/Library/Librari es conftest.c -lrt -ldl -lpthread -rdynamic -pthread -fexceptions -fobjc-runtime=gnustep-1.8 -fblocks -L/home/multix/GNUstep/Library/Libraries -L/Local/Library/Libraries -L/System/Library/Libraries -L/us r/local/lib -lobjc -lm >&5 In file included from conftest.c:107: In file included from ././config/config.objc.m:2: ././config/objc-common.g:54:3: warning: assignment to Objective-C's isa is deprecated in favor of obje ct_setClass() [-Wdeprecated-objc-isa-usage] obj->isa = self; ^ ~~~~~~~ object_setClass( , ) ././config/objc-common.g:47:5: note: instance variable is declared here id isa; ^ 1 warning generated. configure:7880: $? = 0 configure:7880: ./conftest ld-elf.so.1: /System/Library/Libraries/libobjc.so.4.6: Undefined symbol "_ZNSt3__14cerrE" configure:7880: $? = 1 configure: program exited with status 1 and now?
