@subsection Installing the Makefile package
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First decide where you want the GNUstep files to go, and use this as
|
|
||||||
an argument to configure in the makefile package. If you don't choose
|
|
||||||
a location, the default is /usr/GNUstep. The example below shows how
|
|
||||||
to configure the packages for installation in /usr/local/GNUstep.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@example
|
|
||||||
tar fvxz gstep-make-XXXXXX.tar.gz
|
|
||||||
cd gstep-make-XXXXXX
|
|
||||||
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
|
|
||||||
su root
|
|
||||||
make install
|
|
||||||
@end example
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are using, or intend to compile the GCC Objective-C runtime with
|
|
||||||
threads, you need to specify the thread package you are using when
|
|
||||||
running configure:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@example
|
|
||||||
LIBS=-lpthread; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
|
|
||||||
@end example
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After this you should add the shell script @file{GNUstep.sh} in the makefile
|
|
||||||
package to you initialization file (such as @file{.profile}). For instance:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@example
|
|
||||||
. /usr/local/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
|
|
||||||
@end example
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
in your @file{.profile} file will work. It defines environment variables that
|
|
||||||
are needed to find GNUstep files and executables. Users of csh need
|
|
||||||
to change the @file{GNUstep.sh} script so it will work with csh. Read the
|
|
||||||
@file{README} for more info.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
GNUstep packages will automatically install in this directory structure. You
|
|
||||||
can install other packages (such as gcc) in the same structure if you specify
|
|
||||||
the GNUstep system root as the prefix when you configure the package.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@example
|
|
||||||
./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT

example instructions below. If you don't already have a TIFF library or
|
||||||
|
DPS, you have to do things in a slightly different order.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have the separate gstep packages, skip to the next section
|
||||||
|
(Installing the Makefile package).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First decide where you want the GNUstep files to go, and use this as
|
||||||
|
an argument to configure. If you don't choose
|
||||||
|
a location, the default is /usr/GNUstep. The example below shows how
|
||||||
|
to configure the packages for installation in /usr/local/GNUstep.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you don't have libtiff or DPS,
|
||||||
|
first make and install the Makefile package, the TIFF library and DGS,
|
||||||
|
as shown in the following three sections.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After you have libtiff and DPS/DGS installed, make the core libraries:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@example
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz gstep-core-XXXXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd gstep-core-XXXX
|
||||||
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
@end example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With the various GNUstep libraries you can use the various
|
||||||
|
switches, shared, debug. As in ``make shared=no debug=yes'' (Make sure
|
||||||
|
you use the same switches for every package you compile, and also when
|
||||||
|
you install).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Skip to the Additional Instructions sections to finish up installation
|
||||||
|
of the GNUstep system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@subsection Installing the Makefile package
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Decide where you want the GNUstep files to go, and use this as
|
||||||
|
an argument to configure in the makefile package. If you don't choose
|
||||||
|
a location, the default is /usr/GNUstep. The example below shows how
|
||||||
|
to configure the packages for installation in /usr/local/GNUstep.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@example
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz gstep-make-XXXXXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd gstep-make-XXXXXX
|
||||||
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
@end example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using, or intend to compile the GCC Objective-C runtime with
|
||||||
|
threads, you need to specify the thread package you are using when
|
||||||
|
running configure:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@example
|
||||||
|
LIBS=-lpthread; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
|
||||||
|
@end example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After this you should add the shell script @file{GNUstep.sh} in the makefile
|
||||||
|
package to you initialization file (such as @file{.profile}). For instance:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@example
|
||||||
|
. /usr/local/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
|
||||||
|
@end example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
in your @file{.profile} file will work. It defines environment variables that
|
||||||
|
are needed to find GNUstep files and executables. Users of csh need
|
||||||
|
to change the @file{GNUstep.sh} script so it will work with csh. Read the
|
||||||
|
@file{README} for more info.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GNUstep packages will automatically install in this directory structure. You
|
||||||
|
can install other packages (such as gcc) in the same structure if you specify
|
||||||
|
the GNUstep system root as the prefix when you configure the package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@example
|
||||||
|
./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT
|
||||||
|
@end example

Introduction
|
||||||
|
============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This document explains how to build the GNUstep project along with all
|
||||||
|
the tools required to develop applications with it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to easily compile and debug GNUstep projects, you will need a
|
||||||
|
modified version of the GNU C compiler gcc and of the GNU debugger gdb.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You will need at least 80Mb of hard disk space in order to compile the
|
||||||
|
GNUstep project. Luckily, you can delete the object files and the
|
||||||
|
uncompressed source code after each piece of the project has been
|
||||||
|
successfully built and installed in order to save some space. The
|
||||||
|
biggest offender is the gcc compiler, which eats up 50Mb of hard disk
|
||||||
|
space while it compiles.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Summary
|
||||||
|
=======
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently, you pretty much need to get and install the latest versions
|
||||||
|
of the following packages:
|
||||||
|
gcc or egcs
|
||||||
|
gdb and patch to make it work with better Objective-C
|
||||||
|
GNU make
|
||||||
|
tiff library
|
||||||
|
DGS or Adobe DPS
|
||||||
|
gstep-make
|
||||||
|
gstep-base or libFoundation
|
||||||
|
gstep-gui
|
||||||
|
gstep-xpds
|
||||||
|
FoundationExt.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Getting the files
|
||||||
|
=================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most of the files needed by GNUstep are available from the following ftp
|
||||||
|
sites. Except for gcc, gdb, make and libtiff, alpha.gnu.org and
|
||||||
|
ftp.gnustep.org should contain the latest versions of all the required
|
||||||
|
packages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu'
|
||||||
|
gcc, gdb, and other GNU tools, and GNUstep public releases
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

You may get either one of the Foundations libraries (you only need to
|
||||||
|
take one of them, not both) gstep-base or libFoundation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that you should get the latest version available, not necessarily
|
||||||
|
the one listed here. For the more adventurous, and since the project is
|
||||||
|
still in development, it might be better to get the latest snapshot
|
||||||
|
located in the snap or snapshot subdirectories at
|
||||||
|
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnustep/snap or the other appropriate ftp
|
||||||
|
locations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For the following instructions, some version numbers are replaced by
|
||||||
|
XXX. You shoule replace the 'X's with the version of the package you
|
||||||
|
have.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compiling and Installing the packages
|
||||||
|
=====================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compiling GNU make
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GNU make is required to compile all GNUstep packages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz make-XXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd make-XXX
|
||||||
|
./configure
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compiling PCThreads
|
||||||
|
-------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For Linux/GNU systems on Intel x86 processors, the PCThreads library is
|
||||||
|
known to work with GNUstep. PCThreads version 1.1.0 is an enhanced
|
||||||
|
version of PCThread 1.0.0 with better support for GNUstep.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz pcthreads-1.1.0.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd pcthreads-1.1.0
|
||||||
|
./configure
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using the GNUstep makefile package and wish PCThreads to be
|
||||||
|
installed with the GNUstep directory structure; then you should specify
|
||||||
|
the GNUstep system root as the prefix when you configure the package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compiling GCC
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following commands assume that all the aforementioned files have
|
||||||
|
been copied to the /usr/src directory on your machine.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Uncompress gcc:
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz gcc-2.8.0.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Configure the gcc compiler's makefile for your machine:
|
||||||
|
./configure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using the GNUstep makefile package and wish gcc to be
|
||||||
|
installed with the GNUstep directory structure; then you should
|
||||||
|
specify the GNUstep system root as the prefix when you configure
|
||||||
|
the package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable multiple threads in the Objective-C library use the
|
||||||
|
-ENABLE-THREADS=LIB argument to configure, where LIB is the
|
||||||
|
thread library to use or -DISABLE-THREADS to use a
|
||||||
|
single-threaded Objective-C runtime.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Compile gcc
|
||||||
|
make bootstrap
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. Wait
|
||||||
|
If you have a Pentium Pro, go drink a coffee.
|
||||||
|
If you have a fast Pentium, count from 0 to 100 in your head.
|
||||||
|
If you have a slow Pentium, go eat a bagel.
|
||||||
|
If you have a 486, go watch the news.
|
||||||
|
If you have a 386, come back tomorrow.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Install gcc
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. Delete the gcc directory if you're low on disk space
|
||||||
|
rm -rf /usr/src/gcc-2.8.0
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Patching and Compiling GDB
|
||||||
|
--------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Uncompress GDB, and patch it:
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz gdb-4.16.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
gunzip gdb-4.16-objc-971112.diff.gz
|
||||||
|
cd gdb-4.16
|
||||||
|
patch -p1 < ../gdb-4.16-objc-971112.diff
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configure, compile and install gdb:
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src/gdb-4.16
|
||||||
|
./configure
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using the GNUstep makefile package and wish gdb to be
|
||||||
|
installed with the GNUstep directory structure; then you should
|
||||||
|
specify the GNUstep system root as the prefix when you configure
|
||||||
|
the package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Make sure gdb is where you think it is
|
||||||
|
On Linux/GNU, gdb should be installed in /usr/bin, whereas on
|
||||||
|
other systems, the default installation path is usually
|
||||||
|
/usr/local/bin. If you have a Linux/GNU box, you can do this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ln -s /usr/local/bin/gdb /usr/bin/gdb
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that this is only a suggestion, you are free to do whatever
|
||||||
|
you want.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Installing the GNUstep libraries
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have the gstep-core package, you can make and install all the
|
||||||
|
GNUstep core packages at one time. If you already have a TIFF library
|
||||||
|
and a Display Postscript system installed, you can do this following the
|
||||||
|
example instructions below. If you don't already have a TIFF library or
|
||||||
|
DPS, you have to do things in a slightly different order.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have the separate gstep packages, skip to the next section
|
||||||
|
(Installing the Makefile package).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First decide where you want the GNUstep files to go, and use this as an
|
||||||
|
argument to configure. If you don't choose a location, the default is
|
||||||
|
/usr/GNUstep. The example below shows how to configure the packages
|
||||||
|
for installation in /usr/local/GNUstep.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you don't have libtiff or DPS, first make and install the Makefile
|
||||||
|
package, the TIFF library and DGS, as shown in the following three
|
||||||
|
sections.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After you have libtiff and DPS/DGS installed, make the core libraries:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz gstep-core-XXXXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd gstep-core-XXXX
|
||||||
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With the various GNUstep libraries you can use the various switches,
|
||||||
|
shared, debug. As in ``make shared=no debug=yes'' (Make sure you use
|
||||||
|
the same switches for every package you compile, and also when you
|
||||||
|
install).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Skip to the Additional Instructions sections to finish up installation
|
||||||
|
of the GNUstep system.
|
||||||
|

|
Installing the Makefile package
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Decide where you want the GNUstep files to go, and use this as an
|
||||||
|
argument to configure in the makefile package. If you don't choose a
|
||||||
|
location, the default is /usr/GNUstep. The example below shows how to
|
||||||
|
configure the packages for installation in /usr/local/GNUstep.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz gstep-make-XXXXXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd gstep-make-XXXXXX
|
||||||
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using, or intend to compile the GCC Objective-C runtime with
|
||||||
|
threads, you need to specify the thread package you are using when
|
||||||
|
running configure:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
LIBS=-lpthread; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After this you should add the shell script `GNUstep.sh' in the makefile
|
||||||
|
package to you initialization file (such as `.profile'). For instance:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
. /usr/local/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
in your `.profile' file will work. It defines environment variables that
|
||||||
|
are needed to find GNUstep files and executables. Users of csh need to
|
||||||
|
change the `GNUstep.sh' script so it will work with csh. Read the
|
||||||
|
`README' for more info.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GNUstep packages will automatically install in this directory
|
||||||
|
structure. You can install other packages (such as gcc) in the same
|
||||||
|
structure if you specify the GNUstep system root as the prefix when you
|
||||||
|
configure the package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compiling libtiff
|
||||||
|
-----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You don't need a customized version of libtiff, or necessarily even the
|
||||||
|
newest one, but the customized version located at the GNUstep ftp sites
|
||||||
|
will install in the GNUstep directory structure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz tiff-XXXXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd tiff-XXX
|
||||||
|
./configure
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Building DGS
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have a real Display Postscript system already on your computer,
|
||||||
|
you don't necessarily need DGS. Linux/GNU michines need DGS. You can
|
||||||
|
also read the file DGS-HOWTO located at the ftp machines listed above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz dgs-XXXXXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd dgs-XXXXXX
|
||||||
|
./configure
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Building a Foundation library
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you work with gstep-base:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar fvxz gstep-base-XXXXXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd gstep-base-XXXXXX
|
||||||
|
./configure
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On some Linux systems, you may have to change the optimization level
|
||||||
|
(particularly if you get an error compiling mframe.m):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
make OPTFLAG=-O
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you work with libFoundation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar zxf libFoundation-0.8.0.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd libFoundation-0.8.0/libFoundation
|
||||||
|
./configure --with-gnustep
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Building the GUI libraries
|
||||||
|
--------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compile the GUI library:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar zxf gstep-gui-XXXXXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd gstep-gui
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compile the XDPS library:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar zxf gstep-xdps-XXXXXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd gstep-xdps
|
||||||
|
./configure
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
cd Testing
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Building the Foundation extensions
|
||||||
|
----------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Foundation extensions have some useful features in them. The one
|
||||||
|
reason you definitely might want to use it is to read in GNUstep model
|
||||||
|
files which store User Interface structures in ASCII format, and can
|
||||||
|
also be used to translate NeXT and OpenStep NIB files to GNUstep model
|
||||||
|
format.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compiling:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/src
|
||||||
|
tar zxf FoundationExt-XXX.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
cd extensions
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
su root
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Additional Installation
|
||||||
|
=======================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you haven't already done so when installing the Makefile package,
|
||||||
|
you should add the shell script `GNUstep.sh' in the Makefile package to
|
||||||
|
you initialization file (such as `.profile'). For instance:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
. /usr/local/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
in your `.profile' file will work. It defines environment variables that
|
||||||
|
are needed to find GNUstep files and executables. Users of csh need to
|
||||||
|
change the `GNUstep.sh' script so it will work with csh. Read the
|
||||||
|
`README' for more info.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Set up your home GNUstep directory. This is where user defaults are
|
||||||
|
kept, and in the future, other files may be kept there.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd
|
||||||
|
mkdir GNUstep
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next, set your local time zone. There are three ways to do this, pick
|
||||||
|
one:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Use the dwrite utility to set ``Local Time Zone'' to your local
|
||||||
|
time zone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Set the TZ environment variable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Create the file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Libraries/Resources/gnustep/NSTimeZones/localtime'
|
||||||
|
with the name of the local time zone in it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, run the tests in the Testing directory. Use the openapp utility
|
||||||
|
that is part of the GNUstep makefile package (and stored in
|
||||||
|
`$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Tools'). Usage is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
openapp [--library-combo=...] application [additional arguments to app]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Good Luck!
