I worked around this by putting the same os checking code into=20
cocoa_generator.py as is in setup.py.  It now only tries to call sw_vers on=
=20
OSX machines.  The next snag I ran into was farther down, where=20
cocoa_generator tries to run various commands 1) on OSX only things like=20
WebKit and AddressBook, but also 2) in an OSX specfic manner=20
(/System/Library/Frameworks, etc).  I now have it checking for GNUstep and=
=20
adjusting accordingly.  My hacked cocoa_generator available upon request. =
=20
The only garuntee is that it works for me :-)

Now that it's getting to the actual build, I'm hitting the same snag I get=
=20
when trying to build ocunit, namely that Gnu/GCC 3.3 doesn't ship with=20
objc/runtime.h, or various other .h files that are apparently available in=
=20
OSX (objc/objc-class.h specifically).  This breaks any calls to=20
class_add_method_list or (in ocunit) class_getClassMethod.  Now, Marco=20
Sheurer was going to get back to me on what the proper fix is, but he hasn'=
t=20
as of yet (this only came up last week, so I'm not crying foul).

So, any suggestions?  I'm in no rush, so I can afford to spend the time to=
=20
work through these things.  All I need is someone better at this stuff than=
 I=20
am telling me what to do :-)
