Re: Mac hardware?

[Steve Núñez <nunez@helios.net>]

Speaking of OpenBSD and MacOSX, has the only-static-compile problem been 
solved for gnustep on OpenBSD? I looked into this a few months (6-9) back 
with OBSD 2.6 and could not find a way to use shared libraries. At the time 
NetBSD had the same problem, but a quick look at the gnustep webpage 
(http://www.gnustep.org) shows that NetBSD now links dynamically when using 
elf. Gnustep is coming along nicely, and would be a great way to both have 
your cake and eat it too --- OpenBSD and the MacOSX API's (or very close to 
them).
