[Pyobjc-dev] GNUstep support

[David B. <te...@bi...>]

Going with the assumption that I will get PyObjC working decently on my lap=
top=20
(can't try out the suggestions until tonight), I'm now trying to get it up=
=20
and going on my linux box.

After installing the python-dev packages, running python setup.py --help=20
produced the following:

<snip build of libffi that worked>
Performing task: Generating wrappers & stubs
sh: line 1: /usr/bin/sw_vers: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Scripts/CodeGenerators/cocoa_generator.py", line 32, in ?
    VER =3D '.'.join(VER.split('.')[:2])
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'
Task 'Generating wrappers & stubs' failed [256]

Now, 'locate sw_vers' produced nothing, as did 'apt-cache search sw_vers', =
so=20
I went to Google.  Every hit on sw_vers had to do with OSX, so can I safely=
=20
assume that it is not available in linux/GNUstep?  Maybe (really reading=20
between the lines here), it should be calling uname instead?  I *did* read=
=20
somewhere (in a changelog? maybe?) that GNUstep support was being removed=20
until a volunteer was found, so if necessary, take this as me stepping=20
forward...

Relevant (?) information:

Debian/Sid on i386
Python 2.2
GNUstep 1.6.0/0.8.5
GCC (objc) 3.3
Libra

P.S.  I went ahead and signed up to the list, so any replies need not cc: m=
e. =20
Same goes for the other thread, but whatever...
