gnustep-startup contains old gnustep packages. In the new packages,
by default, gnustep isn't installed in /usr/GNUstep. I don't remember
exactly where is this installed. But you can check the file
/etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf where are listed all the paths used by
GNUstep.

Regards.

    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The logic in the +initialize method has logic that tries to remove old names.
It tries to remove names assigned to the current pid and tries to see if other
pids that have names are now dead.

The logic as  implemented removes no names, as it assumes the beginning of the
first line of the name file is the PID (with a . suffix).

However, the name files have this format:
<path to 'port' in file system>\n

Details:

There are cases in NSConnection when the use of NSRecursiveLocks between
objects can lead to 2 threads deadlocking.

The case I have seen is in gnustep-base v1.24.4.

The NSConnection method locateLocalTarget: locks the following objects in this
order

I am running on an Intel NUC running debian wheezy, with hand built gnustep

This is sort of a corollary to this bug:

I have written a wrapper around NSURLConnection called RPMHTTPConnection. In
the attached test program, I alloc/init an RPMHTTPConnection, send a request,
receive a callback, and then release the RPMHTTPConnection instance. However,

Hi,
GNUstep.h doesn't compile with clang in C++11 mode. I get the following
errors:

/opt/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers/GNUstepBase/GNUstep.h:347:19: error:
invalid suffix on literal; C++11 requires a space between literal and
identifier [-Wreserved-user-defined-literal]
      PRIuPTR", %"PRIuPTR" } extends beyond size (%"PRIuPTR")", \
                  ^

/opt/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers/GNUstepBase/GNUstep.h:347:53: error:

identifier [-Wreserved-user-defined-literal]
      PRIuPTR", %"PRIuPTR" } extends beyond size (%"PRIuPTR")", \
                                                    ^

Can someone commit the trivial fix for this?

Thanks!

I am using debian wheezy with hand built gnustep 1.24 and the gcc 4.7.2 objc runtime.

I am getting an exception from calling [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:] with the
following two arguments and presumably others:

 <at> "/home/user/GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Foo/mediaServer/Jeff Hamilton Trio-NS/J.Hamｉlton/Beatles.png"
 <at> "/home/user/GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Foo/mediaServer/Brad White & Pierre
Grill-Winter’s Journey.png"

Here are those strings again converted with CFStringTransform to include the unicode special character names:

 <at> "/home/user/GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Foo/mediaServer/Jeff Hamilton
Trio-NS/J.Ham\N{FULLWIDTH LATIN SMALL LETTER I}lton/Beatles.png"
 <at> "/home/user/GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Foo/mediaServer/Brad White & Pierre
Grill-Winter\N{RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK}s Journey.png"

Internally, that method eventually calls [GSUnicodeString
cStringUsingEncoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding] which raises this exception: <NSException:
0x83a29bc> NAME:NSCharacterConversionException REASON:Can't get cString from Unicode string. INFO:(null)

I do not get this crash when running the same code on a mac. Is there any way I should be sanitizing strings
before I pass them to the -fileExistsAtPath: method?

Hi,

I'm building GDL2 from r36452 on apple-apple-apple. The build is fine, but
linking fails because it tries to use Linux-style -lFramework instead of
Apple-style -framework Framework flags. I can patch the GNUmakefiles to solve
my problem (example below), but a patch should really support both linker
styles and I don't know how I'd do that.

Thanks,
Graham.

-EOAccess_LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON = -lEOControl $(OBJC_LIBS)
+EOAccess_LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON = -framework EOControl $(OBJC_LIBS)

 From where downloaded you these packages? Download these separately 
from here:

http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/gnustep-make-2.6.4.tar.gz
http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/gnustep-base-1.24.4.tar.gz
http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/gnustep-gui-0.23.1.tar.gz
http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/gnustep-back-0.23.0.tar.gz

And install them one by one. Hope this help.
