Fwd: [Bug 1343945] Re: Sync gnustep-base 1.24.6-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Paul Gevers]

Hi Yavor,

gnustep-base is failing in Ubuntu on powerpc and ppc64el while it worked
in the past. The error in both builds is following. Do you have any idea
why objc would be not working for gnustep-base? Would this be a bug in
objc or should we (I) fix something for gnustep-base.

checking whether objc really works... no
I don't seem to be able to use your Objective-C compiler to produce
working binaries!  Please check your Objective-C compiler installation.
If you are using gcc-3.x make sure that your compiler's libgcc_s and libobjc
can be found by the dynamic linker - usually that requires you to play
with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf.
Please refer to your compiler installation instructions for more help.
configure: error: The Objective-C compiler does not work or is not
installed properly.
