 | Hi,
is it possible to compile on MacOS X with using the GNU runtime?

I did that just a few days ago!
The instructions I found and followed are at
I haven't yet done any extensive testing, but the result is a GNUStep environment that uses a full gnu-gnu-gnu configuration. Project Center and GORM both build and appear to run just fine. The instructions above were clear and everything went without a hitch.
The one thing I disagree with on the above page is the estimate for the time it takes to build GCC. Uli says it takes six hours, and even on my old single processor G4/500, it took less than an hour and a half. I do have lots of RAM though - 1G. GCC can be a pig when it comes to RAM, so maybe that made the difference.
Note that apps built this way are *not* Cocoa apps - they're GNUStep apps, and require X11 to run. It's looking like a nice way to write portable code though, without having to dual-boot.

Thank you, I will check it out as soon as I am at work.

No problem with that. I want to port a libFoundation (Ooh ... I hope I could coompile it without too much trouble :)) based server. It's a console app.
