Re: HelpViewer 0.3 : error while linking

[Patrick Cardona]

Hi Riccardo,
Hi Yavor,

Maybe I did not the things as I should. Please, help me to understand :

1) I made the GNUstep core from the git repository and Clang-7, to 
target GNUstep runtime 1.9 because my arm CPU is only 32bit, as I said 
in my previous message.

2) Then, I searched around from GAP (github clone of Savannah) and 
many other source sites to grab the GNUstep tagged apps and tried to 
make them one by one with the make way.
And I did not use deb source packages  because I thought they could 
not be compatible or they should use the olg GCC to make those.

If I get some package from deb source and I try to rebuild it as the 
Debian doc says (1) I am afraid this could make a dependency conflict 
with the apps already installed by hand.

Do You think the best way is : I could get the deb source, apply the 
patch and make them by hand ?

(1) 
https://debian-administration.org/article/20/Rebuilding_Debian_packages

P.S.1 : Yavor, I found the patched source from the Debian repo.
P.S.2 : Riccardo, I was not able to find the source you patched from 
the git nor from the SVN. Is there another site I did not find ?
These are the sites where I searched :
http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/gap/gap/
https://github.com/gnustep/gap
http://www.gnustep.org/softwareindex/

Regards,
