Re: Having build issues on Mac OS X

[Kevin Ingwersen]

The issue for some people is just that they need just a ObjC compiler. For most 
it is not easy to find the devtools that apple seeds - because you need to 
install gigabytes of junk, just to get to the 300MB of build tools. So i want 
to build GNUstep and offer it as an alternative. I also want to use it as a 
toolchain for automatic building for my own projects (drag0n, pcc, etc).
Thanks!
