Re: Problem building gnustep-base

[Dennis Leeuw]

Sorry for replying to my own mail again, but I found a part of the problem in
the gnustep-make configure script I uncommented the following lines:

gcc_shared_libobjc=`gcc -print-file-name=libobjc.so`
if test -f "$gcc_shared_libobjc"; then
  gs_cv_objc_libdir=`dirname $gcc_shared_libobjc`
fi

This now makes gnustep-make detect the libobjc libraries, and solves the
problem in the configure part of gnustep-base. One problem however remains,
it still detects the library as having no threads:

checking whether objc has thread support... no

might this have something to do with pthread compared to posix thread, which
I have?

Any input is appreciated.
