Description Juanjo Marin 2011-06-19 22:24:36 UTC
Unless there is a good reason for building GNUstep without exceptions support, I ask for building GNUstep without exceptions support.

Thank you in advance.

Comment 1 Juanjo Marin 2011-06-23 22:40:27 UTC
One of the good reasons for adding the exceptions support is to facilitate the inclusion of the unarchive in Fedora, a very powerful program. The unarchiver [1], which is the only free software that fills an important gap in support for different archives, including rar v3. [2]

I have got a bug report agains rawhide, which told me, that your reported issue is based on a missed BR agains gcc-objc in the gnustep-make package.

Therefore I have changed the associated component to gnustep-make and have apply the take which I have done in the rawhide branch to the F-15 branch.

Comment 5 Juanjo Marin 2011-06-30 19:01:20 UTC
Thanks Jochen !

However,I can't still compile apps with exception support. The macro BASE_NATIVE_OBJC_EXCEPTIONS in file /usr/include/GNUstepBase/GSConfig.h is set to 0 (packaged in gnustep-base-devel).

I guess gnustep-base should be compiled also with exception support and gnustep-base-devel should be packaged with this configuration.

Comment 6 Fedora Update System 2011-07-06 21:35:31 UTC
gnustep-make-2.6.0-2.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
