Re: Having build issues on Mac OS X

[Adam Fedor]

gnustep-make
gnustep-base
gnustep-gui
gnustep-back

Note that building GNUstep on MacOSX is difficult as the symbols used by 
GNUstep conflict with ones in the standard OSX libraries.  It's also not very 
useful as there is a perfectly acceptable implementation of Cocoa already on 
OSX. Probably a better approach is to load a virtual machine onto OSX running 
Linux or Windows and compile GNUstep on that, using that to test any code you 
have built on OSX.
