I downloaded gnustep-examples.0.9.7.tar.gz. Running make for instance on Finger results in Finger.app etc. When run, the main window appears with the graphic buttons. However, there is no text anywhere. Not in the main window. Not in the menu. This happens with all the example programs. If anyone can tell me what I've done incorrectly I'd appreciate it. Jim
To answer my own problem:
The instructions for building gnustep-back are for both xlib and art.
Step #3 says to set the default backend to art. As soon as I went into
~/GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults and changed the backend to xlib
it all worked.
You have to install Font packages for the art backend. Did the instructions say to do that? I would think art would give some kind of warning, but maybe it doesn't I'll have to test that out...
3. Post-install
Setting the default backend to use:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend libgnustep-art
Get from http://w1.423.telia.com/~u42308495/alex/backart/
the backart resources and installThe 'make install' wants to place the fonts into:
/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Fonts/which doesn't exist and generates an error. I created the directory
and the fonts installed. Same results, no text in apps. Then copied
fonts to:
/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Fonts/Still no text. That's when I changed the backend from art to xlib and it worked.
As an aside, I'm building this on Slackware 9.1 and the only thing I had to add was the 'ffcall' libraries.
I also had to be logged in as root, not su from user, to get a good build.
