Yes, currently it is unusable out of the box in sid/wheezy, at least on x86 architectures where gcc-4.7 is the default compiler. You can still build stuff with CC=gcc-4.6. Or you can install the new GNUstep stack from experimental. > It is currently impossible to install a dev environment for > GNUstep. Right, we're in the middle of a transition period when GCC 4.7 is the default on some archs while the current gnustep-base package lacks support for the new ObjC runtime. > Since this will likely occur again at each update of gcc, > gnustep-make should depend on a chosen version of gobjc-XX and stick > to it until all packages are rebuilt. I disagree. This was the case when GCC 4.6 became the default, and we had a libobjc2->3 transition. There was a considerably large period of time when GNUstep stuff was in a similarly broken state too. The solution is to coordinate the transitions (GCC <-> GNUstep), which we generally strive to do. It looks like this time gcc-4.7 became the default too early (usually this should have happened when 4.7.1 is released), while we (GNUstep team) were sloppy enough not to update the GNUstep core libraries in time, for example a few months ago. Apologies for the inconvenience, I hope we'll be able to fix these problems soon; see http://bugs.debian.org/673538. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
