Re: gnustep-gui failing to build

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Mike,

I think this problem is caused by your version of the GNUstep base
library not being linked against libxml2. Best to start anew. Install
the dev package for that library and re-configure GNUstep base,
compile and install that and have another go at GNUstep gui.

If this isn't an option for you, you will need to comment out a
section of the file gui/Source/GSXIBLoader.m, as the XML processing
isn't needed in most cases.

Hope this helps,
Fred
