What is the GNUstep Base Library?
|
|
|
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GNUstep Base Library is a library of general-purpose,
|
|
|
|
|
non-graphical Objective C objects. For example, it includes classes
|
|
|
|
|
for strings, object collections, byte streams, typed coders,
|
|
|
|
|
invocations, notifications, notification dispatchers, moments in time,
|
|
|
|
|
network ports, remote object messaging support (distributed objects),
|

|
|
|
and event loops.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical

|
|
|
portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).

Note that versions that have a odd minor release number (the second
|

|
|
|
number, y, in x.y.z) are unstable releases (like 1.5.2), while even
|
2003-03-23 07:06:27 +00:00
|
|
|
minor release numbers (1.4.1) are stable releases.

Noteworthy changes in version `1.8.0'

|
Read the NEWS file for a compete list of changes since the last
|
|
|
|
|
stable version. The major change is that the header files (both in the
|
|
|
|
|
package and when installed) are in different locations. Also, due to
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem changes in gnustep-make, several components of gnustep-base
|
|
|
|
|
are located in different locations. Generally this should not affect the
|
|
|
|
|
compilation or running of applications and tools.

Where can you get it? How can you compile it?
