Re: GNUstep make on MacOSX Sierra - application build fails

discuss-gnustep@ isn't bad either, I'd guess. If anything, more people follow it.

Hi all,

I mistakenly sent a request to the wrong list (discuss instead of help-gnustep). Here it is again on the probably more appropriate list:

I am trying to get gnustep-make-2.7.0 to work on MacOSX Sierra. After

./configure 

make

make install

and thus installing GNUstep make I try to build a minimal test app

main.m:

===================

int main (int argc, const char **argv, char** env)

{

   NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

   NSString *processName = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] processName];

   Controller *controller;

   [NSApplication sharedApplication];

   NSImage *image = [NSImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.tiff", processName]];

   if (image) [NSApp setApplicationIconImage:image];

   controller = [[Controller  alloc] init];

   [NSApp setDelegate:controller];

   

   [pool release];

   return NSApplicationMain (argc, argv);

}

Controller.m:

=====================

#import <AppKit/AppKit.h>

#import "Controller.h"

@implementation Controller

@end

and get

admins-iMac:Test ahoesch$ make messages=yes

This is gnustep-make 2.7.0. Type 'gnumake print-gnustep-make-help' for help.

Running in gnustep-make version 2 strict mode.

Making all for app Test...

I have also tried to build the app manually on the command line, now using clang instead of gcc and -arch i386 instead of -m32:

cd /Build/Test; \

/Library/GNUstep/Makefiles/mkinstalldirs ./obj/Test.obj/

/Library/GNUstep/Makefiles/mkinstalldirs /Build/Test/Test.app/Contents/MacOS

cd /Users/ahoesch/Development/Test

but still get the same error!?

I am clueless! This used to work on earlier versions of MacOSX. Any idea?

Thanks a lot in advance!!
