# INITIAL REQUIREMENTS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential subversion clang libicu-dev libxml2-dev libxml2  libgnutls-dev libssl-dev

#sudo apt-get -y install gnustep            # If you want old runtime
#sudo apt-get -y install gnustep-make         
#sudo apt-get -y install libgnustep-base-dev

sudo apt-get -y install gobjc                # Def required for below.

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# TEST (may fail w/ segfault if you did not apt-get install gnustep)
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

cd ~
gcc `gnustep-config --objc-flags` main.m  Fraction.m -o test -lobjc -lgnustep-base
./test
clang `gnustep-config --objc-flags` main.m  Fraction.m -o test -lobjc -lgnustep-base
./test

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# OK, let's install the new GNUstep from Subversion repositories!
# (based on David Chisnall http://etoileos.com/news/archive/2011/08/14/1206/)
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir gs
cd gs

svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/tools/make/trunk make
svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/core
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc2/trunk libobjc

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# 1) Install GNUstep Make a first time.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

cd ~/gs/make
export CC=clang 
export CXX=clang++ 
./configure --enable-debug-by-default --with-layout=fhs
make && sudo -E make install
. /usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
cd ..

cd ~/gs/core/base
./configure 
make            # On this FIRST TIME THRU, WILL SAY CAN'T BUILD NSBLOCKS for this runtime
sudo make install
cd ..

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# TEST (the resulting binary will segfault if we don't have a runtime)
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
cd ~
clang `gnustep-config --objc-flags` main.m  Fraction.m -o test -lobjc -lgnustep-base


# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# 2) Build libobjc2
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
cd ~/gs/libobjc
make -f Makefile
sudo make -f Makefile install
cd ..

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# 3) NOW GO BACK, RECOMPILE GNUStep MAKE (TO DETECT THE NEW OBJC RUNTIME) 
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

cd ~/gs/make
./configure  --enable-objc-nonfragile-abi --enable-native-objc-exceptions --with-layout=fhs --enable-debug-by-default CC=clang CXX=clang++
make && sudo -E make install
. /usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
cd ..

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# 4) AND THEN RECOMPILE CORE/BASE
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

cd ~/core/base
./configure --disable-mixedabi CC=clang CXX=clang++ 
make            # THIS TIME THRU, NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT BLOCKS
sudo make install
cd ..

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# 5) FINALLY TEST AGAIN AND ENJOY OBJECTIVE C WITH ARC
# Note that I need to add GNUSTEP-CONFIG --OBJC-LIBS below.
# If you don't want ARC, omit -fobj-arc
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

cd ~

# PART 2: libdispatch on Ubuntu
