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), event loops, and
|
|
|
|
|
random number generators.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical

portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).

Here is some introductory info to get you started:

Initial reading
|
|
|
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The file `NEWS' has the library's feature history.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The file `GNUstep-HOWTO' give instructions for installing the
|
|
|
|
|
library.

Preparing to write code
|
|
|
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The documentation isn't much to speak of so far. Better
|
|
|
|
|
documentation will be forthcoming, but the library needs to settle
|
|
|
|
|
first. For now I recommend reading the header files. The headers for
|
|
|
|
|
the classes are in `./src/include'.

|
|

|
How can you help?

* Donate classes. If you write classes that fit in the
|
|
|
|
|
libgnustep-base framework, I'd be happy to include them.
