Re: Emacs Anyone?

[Steven Nunez]

Thanks all. For the record:

• GNUstep.conf, as installed from the FreeBSD packages, is definitely in /usr/local/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf, not in /usr/local/etc
• The GNUstep examples can be compiled and run (using 'gmake', not 'make', as the README says)
  
• The GNUstep.sh was run

The config.log does turn up something interesting. The error reported at the shell is misleading. From the config.log (transcribed -- bloody open-vm-tools still in flux):

    In file included from /usr/local/GNUstep/System/LIbrary/Headers/AppKit/AppKit.h:40:

    /usr/local/GNUStep/System/Library/Headers/Foundation/Foundatino.h:31:9: fatal error: 'objc/objc.h' file not found

    #import <objc/objc.h>

Getting closer. Emacs configure bug?

Cheers,

    - Steve

I transcribed the line incorrectly (still can't get FreeBSD & open-vm-tools working). The configure line is:

env CFLAGS=-DGNUSTEP ./configure --with-ns --with-gnustep-conf=/usr/local/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf

Did you get it wrong again or is it a copy&paste error? David suggested /usr/local/etc a nd not /usr/local (check yourself where GNUstep.conf is).

All updates to FreeBSD applied, and AppKit.h appears to be present in /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/AppKit/AppKit.h

DO you have a properly set up environment? Did you source GNUstep.eg, that is can you confirm yuu can compile a normal GNUstep example program?
If that is affirmative, you should check config.log. Perhaps the header gets found but the actual error is different and the final result is misleading.
