Re: Having build issues on Mac OS X

[Kevin Ingwersen]

Ohey.

So I got somewhat further. Actually, all dependencies are now existing within 
/opt/GNUstep. So I got it thru the configuration! But now, I have an issue that 
is rather on the code’s side:

drag0n|Ingwie@Ingwies-Air 
~/Downloads/gnustep-startup-0.30.0/sources/gnustep-base-1.24.5 $ make -s
This is gnustep-make 2.6.5. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help' for help.

Do I have to install the libobjc first? Because, obviously, blocks.runtime.h is 
not within my default paths - BUT it is within my cwd:

drag0n|Ingwie@Ingwies-Air 
~/Downloads/gnustep-startup-0.30.0/sources/gnustep-base-1.24.5 $ find . -name 
"blocks_runtime.h"
./Headers/ObjectiveC2/objc/blocks_runtime.h

I tried to export CFLAGS=„-I…“ but that didnt work. Any suggestion?
