**************
|
|
|
|
This is version 0.28.0 of the GNUstep GUI library ('gnustep-gui').
|
|
|
|
1.1 What is the GNUstep GUI Library?
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
It is a library of graphical user interface classes written completely
|
|
in the Objective-C language; the classes are based upon Apple's Cocoa
|
|
framework. The library has been enhanced in a number of ways to take
|
|
advantage of the GNU system. These classes include graphical objects
|
|
such as buttons, text fields, popup lists, browser lists, and windows;
|
|
there are also many associated classes for handling events, colors,
|
|
fonts, pasteboards and images.
|
|
|
|
The GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The first part is
|
|
the front-end component which is independent of platform and display
|
|
system. This front-end is combined with a back-end component which
|
|
handles all of the display system dependent such as specific calls to
|
|
X/Windows. This design allows the GNUstep applications to have the
|
|
"look and feel" of the underlying display system without any changes to
|
|
the application, and the library can be easily ported to other display
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
The GNUstep GUI Library requires the GNU Objective-C compiler, the
|
|
GNUstep Base Library, the TIFF Graphics library, Independent JPEG
|
|
Group's libjpeg library, and a back-end component from the GNUstep
|
|
'Back' library.
|
|
|
|
Additional functionality may be enabled by installing additional
|
|
libraries. For example, to build the Cairo backend in the GNUstep Back
|
|
library, you will need to install Cairo.
|
|
|
|

1.3 Where can you get it? How can you compile it?
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
The gnustep-gui-0.28.0.tar.gz distribution file has been placed at
|
|
<ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core>.
|
|
|
|
It is accompanied by gnustep-gui-0.28.0.tar.gz.sig, a PGP signature
|
|
which you can validate by putting both files in the same directory and
|
|
using:
|
|
|
|
gpg --verify gnustep-gui-0.28.0.tar.gz.sig
|
|
|
|
Signature has been created using the key with the following
|
|
fingerprint:
|
|
|
|
