Re: Having build issues on Mac OS X

[Kevin Ingwersen]

Ok, so after my previous email, i thought: One last attempt for tonight. So I 
cd’d into the objc folder within gnu-startup/sources and followed the INSTALL 
instructions. But compared to these, I used Ninja, because I prefer it far over 
make :)
But, it looks like some of the code has errors, or my compiler is dumb. But 
since I am not an assembly (i belive that was .S) dude, I can not even fix it. 
o-o So, here is the output:

Same output also came across with Make.

Good night, kind regards, Ingwie.

PS….i’m starting to see the word „gcc“ where it doesnt even belong to. o-o;
