This is version @value{GNUSTEP-GUI-VERSION} of the GNUstep GUI library (@samp{gnustep-gui}).

@section 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 the OpenStep
|
|
specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. 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, and a back-end
|
|
component like the GNUstep X/DPS GUI Backend.

@section How can I get support for this software?
|
|
|
|
We currently do not have a mailing list setup explicitly for the
|
|
GNUstep GUI Library; however, you may wish to use the GNUstep
|
|
discussion mailing list for general questions and discussion. Look at
|
|
the GNUstep Web Pages for more information regarding GNUstep resources

@section Where can you get it? How can you compile it?
|
|
|
|
@ifset GNUSTEP-GUI-FTP-MACHINE
|
|
The gstep-gui-@value{GNUSTEP-GUI-VERSION}.tar.gz distribution
|
|
file has been placed on @samp{@value{GNUSTEP-GUI-FTP-MACHINE}} in
|
|
@samp{@value{GNUSTEP-GUI-FTP-DIRECTORY}}.
|
|
@end ifset
|
|
@ifclear GNUSTEP-GUI-FTP-MACHINE
|
|
The gstep-gui-@value{GNUSTEP-GUI-VERSION}.tar.gz distribution
|
|
file has not been made available by anonymous ftp.
|
|
@end ifclear
|
|
|
|
The program requires gcc @value{GNUSTEP-GUI-GCC} or higher.
|
|
|
|
the TIFF Graphics library version
|
|
@value{GNUSTEP-GUI-LIBTIFF} is required.
|
|
|
|
It also requires a FoundationKit library as specified by the OpenStep
|
|
specification. The FoundationKit libraries known to work are the GNUstep
|
|
Base Library.
