Re: Building GNUstep from source - failed tests

[Ivan Vučica]

Looks alright, but someone more knowledgable about internals of the runtime may 
know if the missing comma in property attributes string is a problem.

If you don't see a problem, don't worry too much. Considering the number of 
factors that can change under GNUstep's feet (OS, compiler, runtime) and how 
many variants each of these has, it probably isn't surprising that tests fail 
on some platforms.

Do attach the log and describe the environment you are running under (OS, 
compiler, version or svn revision of GNUstep, whether or not you installed 
GNUstep's objective-c runtime, ...) in case someone can produce a fix.
