Re: libobjc2 on OpenBSD 6.8 build errors - C++ runtime not found

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi David,

sorry for the delay - I still want to get libobjc2 on OpenBSD and NetBSD 
working!
Back to OpenBSD

do you mean removing all the trampoline block, line 325 and subsequent?

-               add_custom_command(OUTPUT eh_trampoline.s

-               list(APPEND libobjc_ASM_SRCS eh_trampoline.s)


That's a little bit too much:

I don't know, if I can give you the test results, is there a log, 
equivalent to configure's config.log ?

Line 231 is for Android...
I think it is test "test_cxx_stdlib" perhaps?

I tried:
rohan$ ./test_cxx_stdlib
rohan$ echo $?
1

it runs but returns non-zero.
