**************
|
||
|
||
This is version 0.31.0 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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
It is accompanied by gnustep-gui-0.31.0.tar.gz.sig, a PGP signature
|
||
which you can validate by putting both files in the same directory and
|
||
