************

|
|
The GNUstep Base Library, version 0.5.5, is now available.
|
|
|
|
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),
|
|
event loops, and random number generators.
|
|
|
|
It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical
|
|
portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).
|
|
|
|
There is more information available at the GNUstep homepage at
|
|
`http://www.gnustep.org'.
|
|
|
|
Where can you get it? How can you compile it?
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
The gstepbase-0.5.5.tar.gz distribution file has been placed on
|
|
`ftp.gnu.org' in `pub/gnu/gstep'.
|
|
|
|
The library requires gcc 2.8.0 or higher. Significant sections of
|
|
the library do not work with the NeXT runtime, so we recommend using
|
|
gcc instead of NeXT's cc. See the `GNUstep-HOWTO' file for more
|
|
instructions about compiling and installing the library.
|
|
|
|
The `.tar' file is compressed with GNU gzip. Gzip can be obtained by
|
|
anonymous ftp at any of the GNU archive sites.
|
|
|
|
For info about FTP via email, send email to `ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com'
|
|
with no subject line, and two-line body with line one `help' and line
|
|
two `quit'.
|
|
|
|
The most recent (not necessarily tested) snapshots of the library
|
|
will be placed on `alpha.gnu.org'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[ Most GNU software is packed using the GNU `gzip' compression program.
|
|
Source code is available on most sites distributing GNU software.
|
|
|
|
For information on how to order GNU software on tape, floppy or cd-rom, or
|
|
printed GNU manuals, check the file etc/ORDERS in the GNU Emacs distribution
|
|
or in GNUinfo/ORDERS on prep, or e-mail a request to: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu
|
|
|
|
By ordering your GNU software from the FSF, you help us continue to
|
|
develop more free software. Media revenues are our primary source of
|
|
support. Donations to FSF are deductible on US tax returns.
|
|
|
|
The above software will soon be at these ftp sites as well.
|
|
Please try them before prep.ai.mit.edu as prep is very busy!

thanx -gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu
