Trying to install GNUstep on macOS Big Sur using tool-scripts... #4

Open pierre-rs opened 3 years ago

pierre-rs commented 3 years ago

Hello!

I am trying to install GNUstep on macOS Big Sur using these tool-scripts. My main goal would be to try to run the GWorkspace file manager (which is amazing!) and maybe some other applications. As some errors appeared I am trying to find out what it might be, if anyone has any tips about it it would be very welcome!

What I've done so far is the following:

  1. I installed Xcode from the App Store.
  2. I installed Command Line Developer Tools (xcode-select --install) 
    gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
    clang --version
Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
    
gnumake --version

PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

This program built for i386-apple-darwin11.3.0

3. I cloned the libs-base, libs-back, libs-gui and tool-make repositories into a directory.

mkdir -p ~/Downloads/gnustep cd ~/Downloads/gnustep git clone https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base.git git clone https://github.com/gnustep/libs-back.git git clone https://github.com/gnustep/libs-gui.git git clone https://github.com/gnustep/tools-make.git

4. The first two scripts that I ran, I didn't see any noticeable errors:

./tools-scripts/clang-build ./tools-scripts/compile-all

5. When running the build-darwin script, errors appeared:

./tools-scripts/build-darwin

I selected the most notable errors (from build-darwin script output) below:

Searching the internet for the error ```"checking whether the C compiler works ... no"``` I found [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22844522/os-x-10-9-2-checking-whether-the-c-compiler-works-no) and [this](https://github.com/react-native-maps/react-native-maps/issues/2290) too. Which suggested running the ```"sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app"``` command. But it ended up having no effect.

I also don't know if what is happening has anything to do with disabling this [SIP](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/disabling_and_enabling_system_integrity_protection) thing on macOS.

I also don't know when I should install X11 (Xorg), whether from Brew or Macports or XQuartz ... I don't know if the errors I'm seeing now would have anything to do with the lack of X11 ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, homebrew has a formula for gnustep-base and gnustep-make that can build from source. Excepts below from gnustep-base.rb and gnustep-make.rb

class GnustepBase < Formula
  desc "Library of general-purpose, non-graphical Objective C objects"
  homepage "https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base"
  url "https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base

lass GnustepMake < Formula
  desc "Basic GNUstep Makefiles"
  homepage "http://gnustep.org"
  url "http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/gnustep-make-2.9.0.tar.gz"

But the pre-compiled binaries and libs (aka bottles) installed ok for me on macos12 on intel (with no X11/XQuartz)...

There are much LARGER issues to getting GNUstep to build on macOS. Very little attention has been given to doing this since macOS is considered to be the model that we are following. It would be like having WINE on Windows. That being said, I do understand the need for this given that it would allow more direct comparison between GNUstep and Cocoa.
