Hi, I have been playing with GNUstep for a while now, and since CURRENT switched their base system compiler to 3.4.2 it has always felt somewhat superfluous to use the gcc-3.3.5 port, as far as i can tell so far ... for basically only a shared version of libobjc. I have since been toying around with building GNUstep from GNUstep CVS instead of ports using my base system compiler and the base system provided static version of libobjc and so far things are looking sweet and things are working as expected (installed ffcall from ports and so far that seems to be only necesarry dependency) What i am wondering about though is the following. It seems FreeBSD already provides a static version of libobjc in its base system, which (i assume) automatically gets updated whenever the base system's compiler is updated to a newer snapshot/release. What i am wondering is if there is any specific reason why FreeBSD only provides a static version of this library, and if that is not the case, what would it take to make a buildworld provide a shared version of this Objective-C runtime library ? With kind regards, Pascal Hofstee
