||||
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

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:

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.
|
||||
|
||||
Set up your home GNUstep directory. This is where user defaults are
|
||||
kept, and in the future, other files may be kept there.

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
|
||||
|
||||
`ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff'
|
||||
TIFF library
|
||||
|
||||
`ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnustep'
|
||||
GNUstep developer releases and snapshots
|
||||
|
||||
`ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep'
|
||||
All GNUstep releases
|
||||
|
||||
You need the following packages of either the version given or any later
|
||||
version, in order to compile GNUstep.
|
||||
|
||||
gcc-2.8.0.tar.gz (The GCC compiler)
|
||||
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu or from other GNU mirror sites.
|
||||
You can also use egcs-1.0.1.tar.gz, from ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs
|
||||
|
||||
gdb-4.16.tar.gz (The gdb debugger)
|
||||
make-3.75.tar.gz (You need GNU make to compile GNUstep).
|
||||
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu or from other GNU mirror sites.
|
||||
|
||||
gdb-4.16-objc-971112.diff.gz (A patch for easier debugging of Objective-C).
|
||||
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnustep
|
||||
|
||||
tiff-970711.tar.gz (The TIFF library), or
|
||||
you can use tiff-v3.4beta036-tar.gz or greater version
|
||||
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/
|
||||
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnustep
|
||||

|
||||
gstep-make-0.5.0.tar.gz (Makefile package)
|
||||
gstep-base-0.5.0.tar.gz (Foundation)
|
||||
gstep-gui-0.5.0.tar.gz (AppKit)
|
||||
gstep-xdps-0.5.0.tar.gz (X11/PostScript backend)
|
||||

|
||||
dgs-0.5.0.tar.gz (The Display Ghostscript distribution)
|
||||
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu
|
||||
ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep
|
||||
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnustep
|
||||
|
||||
libFoundation-0.8.0.tar.gz (Alternate Foundation)
|
||||
ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep
|
||||
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnustep
|
||||
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu
|
||||
|
||||
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!
