Re: Error building GNUstep

[Luke Lollard <haihige%protonmail.ch@localhost>]

Lewis, thank you so much for taking the time to look into this with me!

I ended up getting it to build by running `chown -R root:wheel work/` in
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ProjectCenter/ (and ended up having the same issue
with Renaissance next), but before that I went through the items you
highlighted.

That file did not exist. I'm confused as to why the gid of 125 caused
this issue (if it was indeed that). If I look at
/usr/pkgsrc/mail/GNUMail/work, those files were owned by group 125 as
well, but they built just fine.

Yes, I am. I wanted to try compiling from source because eventually I'd
like to help out with software distribution.

Anyway, I got to the point that I could launch WindowMaker and play
around. However, the GNUstep apps won't open. These are the errors
I'm getting:

$ openapp ./ProjectCenter.app/

$ openapp ./GWorkspace.app/
Version 2 Objective-C ABI may not be mixed with earlier versions.

So now I'm stuck again. pkgsrc and the pkgin binaries have out of date
versions of GNUstep software. I guess it's time to look into how to
solve that next.
