Hi folks,

we have installed GS on NetBSD 1.5 (intel) and this is what we did:

pkg_add means, we have the pkg from the NetBSD package collection.

1.) gnumake:	pkg_add gmake-3.79.1.tgz
2.) libiconv:	pkg_add libiconv-1.5.tgz
3.) libxml:
			./configure

in Makefile: 	Add the following lines:

INLCUDES = -I. -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/pkg/include
LDFLAGS = -L/usr/pkg/lib -liconv


			make
			su
			make install

4.) ffcall-1.6b:	./configure
			make
			make check
			su
			make install

5.) pth-1.3.7:		./configure --enable-pthread --enable-syscall-soft
			make

			[for removing 'make uninstall']

5.1) 			cd /usr/lib
			ar -dv libobjc_p.a	NXConstStr.po
			ar -dv libobjc_pic.a	NXConstStr.so
			ar -dv libobjc.a	NXConstStr.o
			rm libobjc.so.0.0

6.) core/make:		#. Version	<-- disable Version
			./configure --prefix=/usr/GNUstep
			gmake
			su
			gmake install

		File : /usr/GNUstep/System/Makefiles/framework.make
			change ine: with ... {if($$2 == "R") ...
			in ... {if($$2 == "D") ...


7.) core/base:		source /usr/GNUstep/System/Makefiles/GNustep.csh
			
			./configure --prefix=/usr/GNUstep

	File: GSFormat.m	include <wchar.h>   <-- ADD
				(unichar *)strerror(save_errno); <- REPLACED  
__strerror_r
	File: NSCoder.m		LINE 372: remove ";"
				LINE 373, 374 :
					return ((((GNU... + 0) * 100
					+ GNU.. + 0) * 100) + GNU... + 0;

	File:dynamic-load.h	Zeile 93: // sym = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, symbol);
					  sym = dlsym(handle, symbol);

			gmake
			su
			gmake install

8.) core/gui:		./configure --prefix=/usr/GNUstep
				    --with-tiff-library=/usr/pkg/lib
				    --with-jpeg-library=/usr/pkg/lib

File: Source/SharedX/XGBitmapImageRep.m  // include <config.h> <-- uncomment

touch Sources/config.h

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/pkg/lib"

9.1) extensions:	./configure --prefix=/usr/GNUstep
			gmake
			su
			gmake install

10.)  Prefs:

	if [ -f /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/ix86/netbsdelf1.5/gdomap ]; then

	fi

10.2)  .cshrc:
	
	Add this at the end of .cshrc:

	setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib/usr/pkg/lib
	source /usr/GNUstep/System/Makefiles/GNUstep.csh
	if ( `gdomap -L GDNCServer | grep -c Found` == '0' ) then
	  echo "Starting GNUstep services..."
	  gdnc
	  gpbs
	endif


11.) GWorkspace:	gmake LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -ltiff -lXmu -lXt"

	start:		openapp GWorkspace.app


12.) ProjectCenter:	su
			gmake install LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -ltiff -lXmu -lXt"

	start:		openapp ProjectCenter.app
