Re: Problem with the GNUStep packages in FreebSD?

Hello,

forgot to add the generated link command. Can there be a problem with the options?:

Hello,

it seems I caused a catastrophy in the gnustep packages while upgrading FreeBSD from 12.1 to FreeBSD 12 .2.

When I execute the existing applications (eg. GNUMail), I see the error message:

$ openapp GNUMail
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgnustep-gui.so.0.27" not found, required by "GNUMail"
$

I thought this would be easily repaired by reinstalling the packages. But:

$ sudo pkg install GNUMail
Password:
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
Updating database digests format: 100%
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'GNUMail' have been found in the repositories

OK, no packages. Can this be due to the fact that building the packages from source is also failing:

OK, a rebuild from source then.

But as example with ProjectCenter the make install ends with:

d: error: ./Framework/ProjectCenter.framework/./libProjectCenter.so: undefined reference to __objc_class_name_NSArray
ld: error: ./Framework/ProjectCenter.framework/./libProjectCenter.so: undefined reference to __objc_class_name_NSException

Is there something obvious that I did not see?

Thanks a lot,

Edwin Ancaer.
