Yves de Champlain dropped maintainership of his gnustep ports on 19 July 2007.

Perhaps the port worked at the time it was abandoned, but operating systems change, and software that doesn't change with it experiences "bitrot". 

In any case, you're welcome to file issues in the issue tracker for this and any other ports you find that do not work, but for ports like this one that do not have anyone looking after them, you may have to do the legwork of figuring out how to fix them yourself. Once you figure it out, please add that information to the ticket so the port can be fixed.
