Hi Mark,

This may be related to an issue reported by Josh Freeman on this list in late April (4/23). The crashes he observed also had to do with graphics.

To work around it I think he simply checked out slightly older versions of the GNUstep repos. Josh provided an altered compilation script to do this as an attachment to his emails to the list.

See that discussion for details. The specific change that he made was to check out an older version of GNUstep make:

...
cd make
git checkout `git rev-list -1 --first-parent --before=2017-04-06 master`
./configure --enable-debug-by-default --with-layout=gnustep --enable-
objc-nonfragile-abi --enable-objc-arc
...

I am having problems installing GNUstep on Ubuntu 16.04.

I uninstalled all GNUstep packages and cleared /usr/GNUstep and

/usr/local/lib/GNUstep. Then I followed the instructions from

http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/GNUstep_under_Ubuntu_Linux. Running

the test at the end using

make

openapp ./GUITest.app

gave a segmentation fault. I then tried running the test programs using

the command line and they worked. The problem seemed to be that the

arguments -lgnustep-base -lgnustep-gui were not passed to

$GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES. Does anyone know why?

uname -a

Linux L0311MEB 4.4.0-78-generic #99-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 27 15:29:09 UTC

2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

clang --version

clang version 3.8.0-2ubuntu4 (tags/RELEASE_380/final)

Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Thread model: posix

InstalledDir: /usr/bin

It would be really nice to use libobjc2 and libdispatch. Is there an

alternative installation route on Ubuntu?

Kindly, Mark.
