Subject: advice re. printing

Hi folks,

I have never used GNUstep's native print mechanism. I do know how to create PostScript files and pipe them to a print command.

I would like your advice concerning the state of GNUstep printing.

When trying to print a window (menu item: target: NSFirst, action: print:) I get a very professional looking print panel. However, no matter what I choose (Save, Preview, Print), I always get the following exception:

NSRangeException, reason: Index -2 is out of range 7 (in 'objectAtIndex:')
(Crash on click on "Debug")

My first question is, is the print panel supposed to be working yet, or is it a work in progress.

I am also willing to work with views directly if the print panel is not ready yet.

My second question is, is NSView's dataWithEPSInsideRect: working and useable?

Thank you for your help with these two questions.

Best regards,

Hi all!
I recompiled gcc(4.2.4), all GNUstep (gnustep-make 2.0.5, base 1.14.2, objc 1.6.0,
gui 0.12.1 and backend 0.12.1) and it work's. All day is gone, but I am very lucky.
Thank's Nicola, Marko, David. Finally I can learn to program in GNUstep.
Regards

Are you using an up to date version of both GNUstep base/gui/back/make and Gorm?

Subject: Errors loading Gorm

Hello. I'm running FreeBSD 6.3 on an older Gateway PIII box.
Everything has been working fine for about a year. I recently decided I
wanted to play around more with GNUstep, so I loaded the various ports
and seemingly got things to work. All expect Gorm. When I try to load
Gorm I get the following errors. Can you give me any hints?

[art@dumb ~]$ Gorm
2008-07-22 07:54:13.633 Gorm[25096] Exception occured while loading
model: expected object and got unsigned char
2008-07-22 07:54:13.648 Gorm[25096] Failed to load Gorm
2008-07-22 07:54:13.661 Gorm[25096] Could not load Gorm file:
/usr/local/GNUstep/System/Applications/Gorm.app/Resources/English.lproj/Gorm.gorm

Please continue to follow Nicola's suggestions wrt build issues.

But MySQL and libobjc did have a namespace issue wrt to a global
function called "hash" which lead to the objc runtime calling the mysql
hash function when looking up class names that caused SEGV.

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19024

I'm unsure with which gcc version that was fixed but the library SO
version should 2.0. Which version of libobjc/gcc are you using?

Cheers,
David

If you encounter bugs, please report them - thanks :-)

I never thought anyone would care about file.c vs file.m, but if that's a problem,
let's fix it :-)

I like the idea. I implemented it in trunk. Please give it a go.

Thanks

I created new directory, copied two files (test.m and GNUmakefile) and after
tried again to gmake command. It work's without errors. But still I can't run
./obj/test. Segmentation Fault. I absolutely don't understand it.

# gmake messages=yes
This is gnustep-make 2.0.5. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help' for help.
Making all for tool test...

This has nothing to do with the problem, but might actually be a good point - maybe
you're right :-)

I had installed mysql_config and tried it out --

$mysql_config --cflags
-I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv

This seems to include both preprocessor and compiler flags, which is why I suggested
ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS and ADDITIONAL_OBJCFLAGS. Feel free to suggest otherwise if you
know more about mysql_config or how to use it.

Thanks
