The problem here is that you are linking the wrong Objective-C runtime library.

Well not necessarily, but yes. In fact the problem is that, no one has gone through -gui and -back yet to add:

#include <GNUstepBase/GSObjCRuntime.h>

where necessary which includes further headers that will do the mapping from GNU runtime functions to Apple's runtime. But note that there isn't always a (useful) mapping available. When that's the case we try to provide a GS(ObjC)SomeThingFunction in GSObjCRuntime.h to abstract that difference.

I'm not too involved with -gui but I just put this at the end of my TODO list. I'd be very glad if someone else could look into this as I cannot say that I'll be able to deal with this any time soon.

Hi David,

could you please be a bit more explicit, where you think GUI is doing things wrong? The only method I could find that uses strange OBJcRuntime fucntions was [NSGraphicsContext subclassResponsibility:] and even that seemed ok. I hope that all the complicated things get handled by base, so gui is not concerbed by them at all.

Fred
