Re: gnuconfig and runtime 1.9/ARC issue

Hello David and Patryk,

thank you very much! I did as you suggested. I am able to enable ARC now.

I switched to 1.9 runtime, because clang 6.0 was the last compiler
available via debian backports.

Just to let you know: After changing the configuration of make the
output of gnustep-config --objc-flags now looks like this:

-MMD -MP -DGNUSTEP -DGNUSTEP_BASE_LIBRARY=1 -DGNU_GUI_LIBRARY=1
-DGNUSTEP_RUNTIME=1 -D_NONFRAGILE_ABI=1 -DGNUSTEP_BASE_LIBRARY=1
-fno-strict-aliasing -fexceptions -fobjc-exceptions
-D_NATIVE_OBJC_EXCEPTIONS -pthread -fPIC -DDEBUG -fno-omit-frame-pointer
-Wall -DGSWARN -DGSDIAGNOSE -Wno-import -g -fblocks
-fobjc-runtime=gnustep-1.9 -fobjc-runtime=gnustep-1.8 -fblocks
-fconstant-string-class=NSConstantString -I.
-I/home/joey/GNUstep/Library/Headers
-I/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers

So somehow the runtime version is still written twice - once using the
wrong version (1.8). I don't know if it is related, but apps now won't
start anymore:

openapp ProjectCenter
/usr/GNUstep/Local/Applications/ProjectCenter.app/ProjectCenter:
Uncaught exception NSInvalidArgumentException, reason:
GSMutableArray(instance) does not recognize isDescendantOf:

Speicherzugriffsfehler (Memory access error)

Is there a way to fix this or should I just switch to clang 8.0 and
runtime 2.0? I detected I probably could do this quite easy using the
packages from https://apt.llvm.org/ ;-)

Thank you,
Johannes
