Hi.
(it seems my last mail never wetn through, so here it goes again;
sorry
for any dup).
Since last GNUstep update (make, back, gui, base) I have the following
"problem".
Before, I could change my gnustep backend using:
$ defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend back
Now, I need to use:
$ defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend libgnustep-back-016
Otherwize, I get the following error:
2008-12-26 16:21:29.840 Calculator[6895] Did not find correct
version of backend, falling back to std.
2008-12-26 16:21:29.842 Calculator[6895] NSApplication.m:286
Assertion
failed in initialize_gnustep_backend. Unable to find backend back
Calculator: Uncaught exception NSInternalInconsistencyException,
reason: NSApplication.m:286 Assertion failed in
initialize_gnustep_backend. Unable to find backend back
That's odd, because I would expect either of those two settings to
work since, looking through the code, I see that the GSBackend value
normally has 'libgnustep-' prepended if it's not already there and
tries both with '-016' appended (if you are using version 0.16 of the
library) and not appended.
So, for a setting of 'back' the code looks like it tries 'libgnustep-
back-016' and 'libgnustep-back', while for a setting of 'libgnustep-
back-016' the code should be trying 'libgnustep-back-016-016' and
'libgnustep-back-016'
If the second setting works and the first doesn't, it would seem to
imply that the bundle has actually been called 'libgnustep-
back-016-016', which seems very unlikely.
Perhaps your best bet is to run under gdb and set breakpoints in
initialize_gnustep_backend and gnustep_backend_bundle and try stepping
thriough those functions to see what is actually going on.
