Re: installing gnustep-base fails on openbsd (cannot find ffcall)

[Sebastian Reitenbach]

Hi,

I have gcc-4.0-20050804 and
gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-openbsd3.8/3.3.5/specs
Configured with:
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.3.5 (propolice)

the first is installed from ports, the latter is the gcc from openbsd.

installed. I fails with both, I started InstallGNUstep with following 
commands:
CC=egcc MAKE=gmake ./InstallGNUstep
MAKE ./InstallGNUstep
