If you are installing the GNUstep libraries individually, make sure
11
you have installed the GNUstep Makefile package (gnustep-make) already.
12
In addition you should install an Objective-C library (gnustep-objc)
13
if you are not using gcc 3.x, as well some other libraries (notably
14
ffcall). See the GNUstep-HOWTO for more information.

GNUstep's NSInvocations and Distributed Objects code involves
82
detailed manipulation of the stack and function calls using a library
83
that implements a Foreign-Function Interface (FFI), such as the ffcall
84
libraries. Use of ffcall is automatically enabled if the ffcall
85
libraries are found, unless specifically disabled with
86
`--disable-ffcall'. If disabled, the code reverts to the builtin
87
method for stack frame handling, but this rarely works on non-ix86
88
machines and is not supported.

You need to have the ffcall libraries, which you can get from
91
104
<ftp://www.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/libs/> or
92
105
<http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/>. You also need to have a special
93
version of the Objective-C library (before gcc 3.0 the required hooks
94
were not in the standard library). You can get this library from

<ftp://www.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/libs/libobjc-1.2.0.tar.gz>.

Support for the libffi library has also been added. Current versions
111
of libffi are only distributed with gcc version 3.x, although it is not
112
installed by default. To install it, after you have built gcc, do

../gcc-3.2.1/libffi/configure
