Thanks.  However even if I applied all patches from debian 
<http://patch-tracking.debian.net/package/cynthiune.app/0.9.5-7.1> I 
still could not compile it.

I am thinking lacking of release engineering to coordinate release. As 
far as I know from the application index, Cynthinue is the only music 
player for gnustep except mpd. For an outsider it looks more like the 
responsibility of the GAP project than debian project to take over the 
semi-abandoned projects and keep release engineering them, especially 
when there are no 2nd desktop music player application for gnustep. Can 
GAP do this?
