Re: gnustep on redhat 7.0

[Georg Huettenegger]

stephen,

using the egcs compatibility packages i was able to build gnustep on rh
7.0 (i did install compat-egcs-objc, compat-egcs, compat-egcs-c++,
compat-glibc; but i think the c++ part is not necessary for gnustep)

i used the following command line:
CC=egcs LDFLAGS="-u shmctl@GLIBC_2.2 -L/lib -lc -u getpwuid_r@GLIBC_2.1.2
-L/lib -lc -u getpwnam_r@GLIBC_2.1.2 -L/lib -lc" ./configure

using the cvs version from october 5th i also had to comment out line 37
of core/gui/Tools/GNUmakefile where it says: SERVICE_NAME = example (the
makefile wanted opentool which is not available prior to install; at least
it is not within the path).

the next thing i will try is to get dps-0.0.6 running but i think that
task may take some time. in any case if i manage to get the xdps backend
to work without using dgs i will report what i did.

bye,
 georg
