How to get 'make' to use a different GCC

Michael Hopkins — 2008-10-04T18:59:26

Hi all Quick question. Have read all the docs I can find and not been able to discover how to get GNUStep make to use a toolchain other than the default gcc other than changing soft links which I would prefer not to do. Have just built gcc 4.3.2 and would like to experiment with it for C & Objective-C code. Current gcc (in Ubuntu 8.04.1) is 4.2.3.

ANN: GWorkspace 0.8.7

Riccardo Mottola — 2008-09-28T21:26:49

GWorkspace version 0.8.7 is now available. What is GWorkspace? ==================================== GWorkspace is a workspace manager for GNUstep. Changes in version 0.8.7 ========================= * bugfix in color read of preferences (crash when certains desktop colors were set) * portability issue solved with NetBSD * fswatcher now is able to auto-close connections when started automatically with --auto, like other system daemons * complete rewrite of the configure/make system using recursive configure files. Now the package can finally make a working "make dist" which was used for this release * updated appwrappers and new appwrapper for OpenOffice * Infopanel now displays information from the plist, allowing thus consistent data easily Furthermore the whole project page is now inside gnustep.org Where can you get it? How can you compile it? ================================================== You can download sources from ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/usr-apps/gworkspace-0.8.7.tar.gz The official homepage of the project is: http://www.gnustep.org/experience/GWorkspace.html Build Note: As a result of a more strict and correct build system, on some platforms, where gworkspace could compile even without sqlite (like windows), it is now strictly required. --- Riccardo Mottola & Gregory John Casamento & the rest of the GNUstep team

One question about subclass

Germán Arias — 2008-09-24T22:44:29

For example, I create a subclass of NSImageView, I set its methods and all OK. But when my app is running and I alloc and init my subclass I don't see the object's instance. I don't get any error. Can somebody tell me what is the problem?

application not quitting

Marko Riedel — 2008-09-16T22:36:13

Hi folks, I recently installed a GNUstep application on two new machines and ran into a problem that I hadn't encountered on the other machines where it is currently running successfully. I cannot quit the application by clicking on "Quit". The delegate method applicationShouldTerminate: gets called and returns YES but the application does not quit. This is a real nuisance. As a workaround, I invoke NSApplication's stop: method in applicationShouldTerminate:. That quits the applications and saves e.g. window positions to the defaults database, but is definitely not how it is supposed to be used. Any ideas what might be the problem here? This is with KDE 3.5 (I don't have a choice as to what windowmanager to use.)

CoreData clone

Mirko Viviani — 2008-09-15T19:57:06

Hi, the other day I've came across a CoreData clone from the Omni folks. I haven't tryed it yet but I think it isn't easily portable to gnustep. You can grab the source here: http://www.omnigroup.com/developer/ Here a javascript cocoa/objc clone... a quite strange and interesting implementation: http://www.cappuccino.org

GNUstep on FreeBSD problems

Wolfgang Lux — 2008-09-13T20:08:42

Hello! I recently installed FreeBSD and also attempted to use GNUstep on FreeBSD. Building GNUstep-startup from svn worked fine with one minor exception [1]. However, when starting any GNUstep program I got XBadMatch errors on the console and the windows and menus were all completely white. After finding this helpful hint http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2008-04/ msg00081.html from Andrew Ruder to set the environment variable XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS everything seems to works fine. This weekend, I found some time to take a closer look at the problem. Apparently, it is caused by an inconsistent handling of X visuals in x11/context.m and in the libart backend. The latter in method setupDrawInfo of class ARTContext simply uses the first DirectColor or TrueColor visual returned by XGetVisualInfo. The code in x11/ context.m, on the other hand, is more involved. The function bestContext looks at all TrueColor visuals returned by XGetVisualInfo and chooses a visual with depth 24 or higher if available. On my FreeBSD installation this leads to a problem because the Xorg server's default visual uses 16 bits, but the server also offers a 32- bit visual (unless XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS is set). Thus, every X window will use a 32-bit drawable but the graphic primitives of the libart backend attempt to send 16-bit images to that drawable causing the XBadMatch errors. Of course, a quick and dirty fix would be to copy the code from bestContext to setupDrawInfo (or vice versa), but I feel that XGServer's context and ARTContext should not be using different visual in the first place. Unfortunately, I haven't dig far enough into the sources so far in order to understand the relation between the libart and cairo backends on one side and the common X11 code on the other side, but maybe someone more knowledgeable than me (Fred?) has some idea how to fix this. Incidentally, XGScreenContext's code includes some logic to force XGServerWindow into using a particular visual under control of the user default NSDefaultVisual, but unfortunately the call to the relevant method (_getXDefaults) is commented out in - initForDisplay:screen:. Is there any reason for this? Wolfgang [1] Given the recent discussions on libffi vs. ffcall, I decided to build GNUstep with libffi. Since FreeBSD is considered a generic platform by GNUstep-startup the default is to use ffcall. I therefore invoked InstallGNUstep with the --ffi=libffi option but this did not work because the gsflags shell function resets the GS_FFI variable to the default for the chosen platform. The following patch is a workaround, but it looks like a hack to me; there should be no need to set GS_FFI twice. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep< at >gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep

Copying files with special characters

Andreas Höschler — 2008-09-09T17:43:50

Dear all, I would like to programmatically copy files with system([[NSString stringWithFormat:< at >"cp -r %< at > %< at >", sourcePath, destPath] cString]); or alternatively using NSFileManager. This works as long as sourcePath does not contain special characters like ä,ö,ü,... In a terminal shell I can successfully copy such a file by typing cp "Germ and then using TAB to automatically complete the path to cp "German Fa\314\210hrhaus.jpeg" /home/ahoesch/A00 The question for me now is where this magic \314\210 stuff comes from and how I can do the conversion in my GNUstep app programmatically before building the copy command. system([[NSString stringWithFormat:< at >"cp -r %< at > %< at >", [sourcePath magicMethod], destPath] cString]); Hints are greatly appreciated! Thanks, Andreas

Latest GNUstep problems

Andreas Höschler — 2008-09-04T18:23:26

Hi all, I just did some tests with the latest GNustep downloaded yesterday on Solaris 10 with Etoile switched off for now to exclude potential problems caused by Etoile overloads. I encountered massive problems experimenting with TextEdit.app and Affiche.app, e.g. selecting text and pressing backspace does not remove the selected text but just beeps. Pressing Return at the end of text in NSTextView just beeps instead of inserting the return!? These problems do not always occur but very often. It's hard to find a pattern to savely reproduce the problem, but it ocurs ofte enough that reasonable work is impossible. I doubt that this is related to Solaris. Can anybody confirm these problems? Regards, Andreas

O.K., I finally tracked this down.... am not quite sure how bug reporting works these days, can someone give me a pointer ? Anyway, the issue was using int instead of long for cpu_states in loadave.c, so the following one line patch fixes it: -pete. --- loadave.c.orig 2008-09-04 17:07:31.000000000 +0100 +++ loadave.c 2008-09-04 17:09:20.000000000 +0100 < at >< at > -44,7 +44,7 < at >< at > { const char *name = "kern.cp_time"; - int + unsigned long cpu_states[CPUSTATES]; size_t nlen = sizeof cpu_states,

Two questions about bundles

Peter Cooper — 2008-08-27T20:02:32

Hi I'm looking at using bundles for a non-gui tool. A curious thing is that I get a lot of superfluous libraries automatically linked. linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7f31000) libgnustep-gui.so.0.14 => /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so.0.14 (0xb7b67000) libgnustep-base.so.1.17 => /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-base.so.1.17 (0xb77a5000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb777a000) libobjc.so.2 => /usr/lib/libobjc.so.2 (0xb7760000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb773b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb75ec000) (lots removed) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f32000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb72d8000) libtasn1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtasn1.so.3 (0xb72c8000) libgcrypt.so.11 => /lib/libgcrypt.so.11 (0xb727b000) libgpg-error.so.0 => /lib/libgpg-error.so.0 (0xb7277000) I've attached a very little dummy project that generated the bundle with all these library links. I'm running on an Ubuntu Dapper 32 bit i386 system, with GNUstep being a fairly recent check-out from svn. What am I doing wrong? Additionally, can I specify the extension of the bundle per bundle in the same Makefile or should be using an aggregate project? Thanks!

Gorm feature request.

Marko Riedel — 2008-08-16T22:48:13

Hello there, I wonder what you think about the following feature request concerning Gorm.app. I am still working on the application that I mentioned in my last mails concerning tables, printing etc. It has grown to include many panels and windows. Now that I think about it perhaps I should have divided it into manageable smaller components, but anyway ... When you have a lot of panels and windows the object browser is not very helpful, because it displays panels and windows using the class and a number as the label, like "Panel (9)". The ordering seems to depend on some kind of internal hash function. My question is -- can you at least sort these panels and windows by their numbers and types. That way the user can at least guess where the panels are that s/he created yesterday, because they will be at the end of the list. It would be even better if a tooltip were to appear when the mouse hovers above a panel or window's icon. The tooltip should display the title of the window or panel in question, making it easy to locate the one you're looking for. What do you think?

Some questions about NSText

Germán Arias — 2008-08-16T04:50:57

Hi, I have an app that adds NSText in my document, and I can move and resize these. But, when I resize these NSText the area of text is the same, never change. For example, if I duplicate the width of an NSText, I don't get double area to write. What is the problem? Other thing, Is there a way to set a image of resizable border? Or I need make and draw this? Regards and thanks for your help.
