It looks from the log files that at one point (perhaps you tried to  
compile the libraries separately before using Startup?) the library  
combo
got set to apple-apple-apple, which just compiles GNUstep extensions  
for Mac OSX , not the full GNUstep, and that only works with Apple  
GCC/Foundation/etc.  Anyway, before doing anything else, be sure to  
erase any remnants of GNUstep (in /usr/GNUstep) and make sure all the  
GNUSTEP and LIBRARY_COMBO environment variables are unset. Then use  
Startup or macports as Yen-Ju suggested.

[FreeBSD/alpha] bad #define in NSObject.m

line 937:

#ifdef __FreeBSD__
       // Manipulate the FPU to add the exception mask. (Fixes SIGFPE
       // problems on *BSD)

       {
         volatile short cw;

         __asm__ volatile ("fstcw (%0)" : : "g" (&cw));
         cw |= 1; /* Mask 'invalid' exception  
*/                                              __asm__ volatile  
("fldcw (%0)" : : "g" (&cw));
       }
#endif

This obviously fails on FreeBSD with any arch that is not x86.  
(invalid opcode)

Threading problem in NSNetServices

Hullo,

NSNetServices in SVN's -base have a bug with respect to threading, 
that is, it tries to lock the same lock several times. I originally 
avoided that problem by using pthread's spin-locks.

For a more portable implementation (I guess), the current version in 
-base uses GSLazyLocks, which cannot acquire a lock recursively -- as 
its name implies, NSRecursiveLock can.

The following patch is tested and proven to work.

--- NSNetServices.m.ORG Sun Jan  7 12:06:44 2007
+++ NSNetServices.m     Sun Jan  7 12:15:55 2007
 <at>  <at>  -30,7 +30,9  <at>  <at> 
  #import "Foundation/NSStream.h"
  #import "Foundation/NSTimer.h"
  #import "Foundation/NSValue.h"
-#import "GNUstepBase/GSLock.h"
+#if defined(_REENTRANT)
+#  import "Foundation/NSLock.h"
+#endif

  #import <dns_sd.h>             // Apple's DNS Service Discovery

 <at>  <at>  -78,8 +80,8  <at>  <at> 
          } while(0);

  #if defined(_REENTRANT)
-#  define THE_LOCK             GSLazyLock      *lock

Thanks ... I didn't realise the lock was used recursively ... I  
changed svn to use recursive locks.

I added that (as well as NSValueTransformer which was also missing),  
and also made a few changed to get documentation to be generated  
without producing error/warning messages.

Re: I need some help

Hi,

I have done this it was a tricker than I thought as I couldn't get  
DarwinPorts to install it for me. However, use this excellent install  
guide for 'unix like' systems and it should work fine!

http://www.gnustep.net/Documentation/BuildGuide/develop.html

Regards,

Dan.
