Re: Problem with compile

[Jackie Gleason]

So this time I tried using the --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep

"Remove all and install make with

./configure --with-layout=gnustep"

Ok I will try this today and post back shortly, should I include the prefix still as well?

"I expect your executables should be in /usr/GNUstep/share/bin libraries in /usr/GNUstep/lib and your headers in /usr/GNUstep/include"

Nope here are the ls from those folders...

address@hidden:/usr/local/GNUstep$ ls

bin  etc  share

address@hidden:/usr/local/GNUstep$ cd share/

address@hidden:/usr/local/GNUstep/share$ ls

GNUstep  man

address@hidden:/usr/local/GNUstep/share$ cd GNUstep/

address@hidden:/usr/local/GNUstep/share/GNUstep$ ls

Makefiles

So as you can see no lib or libraries or any other such folder.

"then look in /tmp/GNUstep, I see the lib and include subdirectories with the base library stuff in them."

There is no /tmp/GNUstep folder

here is the LS

address@hidden:/usr/local/GNUstep/share/GNUstep$ ls /tmp

keyring-TxXT5P  pulse-2L9K88eMlGn7  ssh-WPaXbKhp1474       VMwareDnD

orbit-gdm       pulse-PKdhtXMmr18n  tmp730242ff.tmp        vmware-root

orbit-jackie    pulse-ZHID9bmjmuKy  virtual-jackie.4Sl0qP

I looked through the config.log (and have included it as an attachment) but this is all I noticed...

configure:5258: checking whether objc has thread support

configure:5288: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -x objective-c -I.   -fgnu-runtime -DGNU_RUNTIME   conftest.c -lobjc -lpthread >&5

Also just in case here is a ls of the MakeFiles dir

I think the normal install location for hardware independent stuff (eg the makefiles/scripts)  is /usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles ... so if you specified --prefix=/usr/GNUstep that path would be correct.

I expect your executables should be in /usr/GNUstep/share/bin libraries in /usr/GNUstep/lib and your headers in /usr/GNUstep/include

In another email you said :

That looks like the libraries and headers simply aren't installed (or are installed elsewhere).


If I do ...

cd make
./configure --prefix=/tmp/GNUstep
make install
. /tmp/GNUstep/share/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
cd ../base
./configure
make install

then look in /tmp/GNUstep, I see the lib and include subdirectories with the base library stuff in them.


You could try looking at the config.log files for make and base to see if you can spot anything.
If base builds and installs correctly then usually everything else is fine because that means that make was built/installed correctly.
