Re: Building libobjc2 gnumake & gnustep base for Android

[Ivan Vučica]

Hi Spencer,

without immediate ability to look into this any deeper, do you perhaps have a previous installation of GNUstep on this machine? I have primarily worked on and tested the script on a cleanly installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a remote VPS; I did not even try running it on a machine that happens to have had any sort of previous GNUstep installation.

 

I think that the fixed place where a configuration file is installed is /etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf -- though I may be wrong. This file lists paths to various GNUstep directories. I had problems with this file being left over when I decided to change the installation path.

I suggest you try running the script on a clean machine, perhaps a virtual machine containing just clean Debian or Ubuntu. (I have not worked on this on any other platform.) 

It is important noting that I did not finish the work on the script nor did I finish work on appropriate patches to mainline, so whatever you do, there will be some work to do before you have working gnustep-base .so.

Hi,

I hope I'm posting this to the correct list.  I'm trying to get an objective C runtime built for Android based on the script from this thread:

http://gnustep.8.n7.nabble.com/Android-NDK-libobjc2-td33074.html

I've gotten as far as building libobj.so and libobjcxx.so using clang and clang++ from the custom toolchains generated by android NDK.

I'm having trouble getting gnustep/core/make and gnustep/core/base to build correctly, and I don't know enough about GNUStep to know where my point of failure is.

When configuring gnustep base I get this error right away:

configure: error: /bin/sh /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/config.sub arm-linux-androideabi failed

/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/common.make:134: base.make: No such file or directory

It looks like the make install step for gnustep/core/make put everything in /usr/local/share/GNUstep/ and not /usr/GNUstep - could that be the problem, and if so how would I go about fixing it?

Thanks,

Spencer Kohan
