The Darwin/PPC build process

[Graham J Lee]

OK, this para got written last.  Down there I've noted anything that 
went wrong while I was compiling GNUstep for Darwin/PPC so that 
fixes/docfixes/whatever can be considered.  Hope this isn't too rude of 
me ;) or too long.  But Apps won't launch, and I hope someone can tell 
me where it went wrong.
My System is a 500MHz G4 AGP tower, 768MB RAM, OS X 10.3.7 (Darwin 
7.7).  Currently, security update 2005-001 isn't installed (I mention 
this because it patches libxml2)

Just some thoughts I'm writing down as I go...

gcc-3.4.3 builds, but libobjc.a didn't get created
find /usr/local/fsf [<-- my --prefix=] -name '*objc*' -print
nothing.

Get gcc-3.3.2, as it's used in the README.Darwin
make bootstrap fails - cannot find c++filt3
cd /usr/bin; sudo ln -s c++filt c++filt3 *mentioned in connection with 
Darwin/x86, but not Darwin PPC
after this, all works.  libobjc *is* created so link it to 
libobjc.dylib.
[BTW, this seems like a kludge; is there some other way to register the 
library?]

core/make fine; libffi (from pyobjc) fine;
core/base GSXML.m fails using the recommended configure invocation in 
the README, but *works* with './configure CC=/usr/local/fsf/bin/gcc'
core/gui misses jpeglib -> go back --with-jpeg-library 
--with-jpeg-include OK
core/back --enable-graphics=art OK

OK, so now I make dev-apps/EasyDiff (works fine), make install (fine 
again), openapp and...SIGTRAP.  Nice.  I've attached the backtrace.  
Sorry about the rude filename, it's late....

BTW, if I configure core/back with xlib, it works fine.  So I'm not 
critically worried about this bug, but of course anything that gets 
fixed is a plus :-)

Cheers,

Graham.
