Hi all,

I updated packages for precise and wheezy, for both i386 and amd64,
and for quantal amd64 (some packages may be missing for a
specific distribution/architecture combo).

Packages list :
* gnustep-{make,base,gui,back} and related dev packages
* gdl2
* easydiff
* edenmath
* pantomime
* gnumail
* gorm
* projectcenter
* gworkspace
* gnustep-examples
* laternamagica
* lusernet
* notebook
* poe
* terminal
* textedit
* systempreferences
* vindaloo (with iconkit and popplerkit from Etoile)
* waiho
* renaissance
* zipper
* helpviewer
* cynthiune
* dbuskit
* addressmanager
* agenda
* fisicalab
* corebase
* opal
* quartzcore
* performance
* rsskit
* grr
* price

Everything is under the following url :

http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages/

For example, for precise x86 you can add to sources.list :

deb http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages/precise/i386/ ./

Please let me know if you find this useful, if a package is broken, if
you would like to add another package to the list etc.

Thanks,
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

This is great - I have GNUmail up and running super easy with your
packages. I notice there are -dev packages and I'm hoping these can
help me avoid the tricky compile process (although I can't avoid it
forever since I may well wan to hack Foundation etc). I notice there
are no clang or libobjc2 etc. packages so are you depending on those
packages from Ubuntu/Debian? Can I install the Ubuntu 12.04 clang
package and expect it to work?

Thanks,

Mark.

It seems not. I can make a new ProjectCenter project, but when I try to
build it, the build window just says "waiting" and nothing happens. Any
tips? Or should I not be trying to use these packages for development?

Not sure I understand. Those packages are built with gcc and gcc's
libobjc and don't depend in any way on clang nor libobjc2. You should
be able to install clang without side effects.

I would like to package libobjc2 and depend on it but never found the
time overcome the differents problems I encountered when I tried.

Compiling with clang is tempting but it seems people in the clang camp
are moving too fast : I can't compike dbuskit with clang 3.0 from
ubuntu 12.10 for example.

Thanks,
Philippe

Try compiling with 'make messages=yes' in a shell and send the output.

Do you have gcc installed ?

did you save your project, did the GNUmakefiles got generated? In that
case, please follow Philippe's advice and in a shell try "make" there to
see if they are valid. i t never happened to me that they are invalid.

My other guess is that the make tool might not be found for some reason,
check the ProjectCenter preferences.

"external build tool" in the build preferences should point to make.

Ok, that all makes sense then - I've been trying to compile and link
with clang which clearly isn't going to work. Thanks!

Pardon me but I seem to be missing a message that this is a reply to...?

Was there a root message on another list or something? If there is a
repository of Debian/*buntu packages out there, I would really like to
know.
