At present, there aren't many changes between MidnightBSD and FreeBSD in terms of compiler flags. That will change in the future as the systems diverge. The FreeBSD project has discussed changing the default system compiler in a future release, and separating the two now seemed like a way to avoid any problems in the future. We have two compilers in MidnightBSD, although the other does not support Objective C.

I had hoped that someone could grap GNUstep sources and start building directly on MidnightBSD instead of relying on the mports systems which is sometimes out of date.

Hi Lucas

great to see about MidnightBSD. Looks like a very cool project. :-)

Since it's a fork of FreeBSD, would it be more efficient to just use the FreeBSD
compile/link flags ? As a comparison, there are millions of Linux distributions
and all of them are classified as linux and use exactly the same compile/link
commands. That's quite efficient.

Anyway, if MidnightBSD needs special/different compile/link flags, obviously
we need to account for that. Otherwise it could fall under the freebsd category ?

[I understand there might be a "political" issue in that you want to distinguish
yourself from FreeBSD but it's unlikely that real users will actually ever know or
care about what os name is used by gnustep-make to pick up compilation flags ;-)]

Thanks

Here's an initial patch to add MidnightBSD to gnustep make 2.0.6. The config.sub/config.guess changes are included as they were not taken by that project.
