various GNUstep issues

[Louis Guillaume <lguillaume%berklee.edu@localhost>]

Hi!

I'm trying to build SOGo, as presented here: 
http://www.inverse.ca/english/contributions/sogo.html

In getting the dependencies built, I'm running into some roadblocks in 
existing pkgsrc packages:

First was gnustep-base wouldn't build with `PKG_SYSCONFBASE=/etc'. I 
fixed that a couple weeks ago.

Next was devel/gnustep-objc-lf2 which had some strangeness in the PLIST. 
 I patched it as shown below to get it to install cleanly, but I 
haven't tested it yet. It looks like the original PLIST was wrong...

... which brings up some confusion I have with regards to updating 
PLISTs but that's a different story...


Next thing: devel/libFoundation

This is failing like this...


 Compiling file NSDecimalNumber.m ...
NSDecimalNumber.m:44: error: 'nan' redeclared as different kind of symbol
/usr/include/math.h:337: error: previous declaration of 'nan' was here
gmake[2]: *** [/./GNU/NSDecimalNumber.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [libFoundation.all.library.variables] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory 
`/pkg_comp/obj/pkgsrc/devel/libFoundation/default/libfoundation/Foundation'
gmake: *** [internal-all] Error 2
*** Error code 2

Stop.



math.h says `double  nan(const char *);'
NSDecimalNumber.m says `static NSDecimalNumber *nan  = nil;'

If I change the variable name "nan" to "nAn" it compiles. But even 
though that piece compiles, the package still fails to build in the end. 
I wonder if those warnings are a clue. There are things that changed 
with GNUmake 2, particularly GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR, but there is no 
reference to these directories in pkgsrc as far as I could find.

Any help would be great. Thanks,
