.SH NAME
GNUstep \- A free implementation of the OpenStep standard
.SH DESCRIPTION
GNUstep provides an Object-Oriented application development framework
and toolset for use on a wide variety of computer platforms.
GNUstep is based on the original OpenStep specification provided by
NeXT, Inc. (now Apple).
.B GNUstep

GNUstep is written in Objective-C, an object-oriented superset of the C
programming language, similar to SmallTalk. However there exist a number
of brigdes and interfaces to develop GNUstep programs using other languages
like JAVA or Ruby.

.B The GNUstep Core System
.P
The GNUstep core system consists of the following parts:
.IP gnustep-make
A set of scripts and makefiles that heavily ease the
creation and maintenance of software projects.
.IP gnustep-base
The FoundationKit libraries for non-GUI tools providing
everything from string
and array classes, filemanager classes to distributed objects.
.IP gnustep-gui
The ApplicationKit containing widgets, workspace classes and
means for
applications to interact with the user. This is the frontend of
GNUstep's GUI part.
.IP gnustep-back
This is the backend of GNUstep's GUI part which does the actual
rendering and event handling. It acts as a layer between
gnustep-gui and the operating/drawing system. Backends exist
for X11 (one using libart, one using xlib drawing) and win32.
Apart from the above, there exist a number of addon libraries, like Renaissance
which allows developers to specify an application's user interface in xml.
For database access, there is gdl2 - the GNUstep Database Library.
Please refer to the GNUstep website for more information.
GNUstep is self-containing. That means that all GNUstep applications, tools,
libraries and add-ons are installed into the GNUstep directory hierarchy.

.\" Process this file with
.\" groff -man -Tascii library-combo.7
.\"
.TH library-combo 7 "20/12/2007" gnustep-make "GNUstep System Manual"
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page is about cross-compilation and fat binaries. Fat binaries are packeges that you can supply which contains more the one binary of your e.g. application. So you can support multiple platforms with a single package.
.PP
To support this your system has to be built in a non-flattened way. Meaning that during the installation of
.I gnustep-make
you should have selected
.B \-\-disable-flattened
and the types of library combinations you want to support, through the
.B \-\-with-library-combo
option. With library combinations we mean the Objective-C runtime, the Foundation library and the Application library. For more details about this see the LIBRARY-COMBO section.
.PP
If you installed your
.B GNUstep
system in a non-flattened way all system dependend binaries are installed in subdirectories with
.I cpu/os/library-combo
information. That means for instance that the
.I gnustep-base
library will be installed in
.I Library/Libraries/ix86/linux/gnu\-gnu\-gnu/
when you are on an Intel x86 system, running linux with the
.SM GNU
runtime for Objective-C and you installed
.BR GNUstep .
.PP
For each and every library-combo that you want to support you should create the environment through
.IR gnustep-make ,
because it installs a different
.I config.make
to support its own
.BR CC ", " OPTFLAGS ,
etc. flags.
.SS LIBRARY-COMBO
An important issue is to let to a package the ability to deal with various libraries and configurations available now:
.TP
.B Objective-C runtimes
In the Objective-C world there are three major runtimes: the NeXT runtime, the Apple runtime and the
.SM GNU
runtime (both with and without garbage collection enabled). They are different in several respects and a program or library that works at the runtime level should be aware of them.
.TP
.B Foundation libraries
There are several Foundation libraries an application or tool can be written on top of: NeXT Foundation library which runs on NeXTStep/OPENSTEP systems, gnustep-base, libFoundation and Apple Cocoa system.
.TP
.B Graphical interfaces
Until now three libraries provide or try to provide OpenStep compliant systems: the AppKit from NeXT, gnustep-gui and Cocoa from Apple.
.PP
If a program wants to work with all the possible combinations it will have to provide different binaries for each combination because it's not possible to have a tool compiled for NeXT Foundation that runs with gnustep-base or vice-versa. To summarize, a program can be compiled for these combinations:
.TP
.B Objective-C runtime
nx (for NeXT), gnu (for
.SM GNU
without garbage collection), gnugc (for
.SM GNU
with garbage collection), apple (for Apple)
.TP
.B Foundation library
nx (for NeXT), gnu (for gnustep-base), fd (for libFoundation), apple (for Apple Cocoa)
.TP
.B GUI library
nx (for NeXT), gnu (for gnustep-gui), apple (for Apple Cocoa)
.PP
We'll denote the fact that an application was compiled for a certain combination of the above values by using the abbreviations of the different subsystems and placing dashes between them. For example an application compiled for NeXT Foundation using NeXT AppKit will have the compile attribute nx\-nx\-nx. An application compiled for Apple Cocoa with the
.SM GNU
compiler for Objective-C gnu\-apple\-apple and another one compiled for
.I gnustep-base
using
.I gnustep-gui
under Unix will be denoted by gnu\-gnu\-gnu. Here is a list of some of the possible combinations:
.PP
.RS 0
Runtime Foundation GUI
.RS 0
nx nx nx
.RS 0
nx fd gnu
.RS 0
gnu gnu gnu
.RS 0
gnu fd gnu
.RS 0
gnu apple apple
.RS 0
gnugc gnu gnu
.RS 0
gnugc fd gnu
.RS 0
gnugc apple apple
.RS 0
apple apple apple
.RS 0
apple gnu gnu
.RE 0
.PP
Note that one can choose his/her own packages to build; it is not required to have all the packages installed on the system. Not having all of them installed limits only the ability to build and distribute binaries for those missing combinations.
.SS DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
For cross-compilation in a non-flattened directory structure is recommended, so that you can store on the same directory structure binaries for different machines. The standard
.B GNUstep
filesystem layout is normally used when a non-flattened directory structure is being used; this is obtained with the
.BI \-\-with-layout= gnustep
option when configuring
.IR gnustep-make .
The entire
.B GNUstep
installation is then created inside
.I /usr/GNUstep
(or another directory if you use the
.B \-\-prefix=...
option when configuring
.IR gnustep-make ).
Directories that contain binaries (such as the
.I Libraries
directory) inside
.I /usr/GNUstep
are then set up to support fat binaries as follows:
.PP
.RS 0
Libraries/
.RS 0
ix86/
.RS 0
linux\-gnu/
.RS 0
gnu\-gnu\-gnu/
.RS 0
libgnustep\-base.so
.RS 0
libgnustep\-gui.so
.RS 0
gnu\-fd\-gnu/
.RS 0
libFoundation.so
.RS 0
libgnustep\-gui.so
.PP
To allow the right libraries to be found, you need to source
.I GNUstep.sh
before using
.BR GNUstep ,
and you need to start up your application by using
.BR openapp ,
which will locate the right binary for your library combo.
.SS BUILDING FOR A LIBRARY-COMBO
The makefile package will allow the user to choose between different library combinations. To specify a combination you want to compile for just type:
.PP
.RS 0
$ make library_combo=library-combo
.PP
For instance if you want to choose to compile using the GNUstep's Foundation implementation and use the GNUstep GUI library on a GNU/Linux machine you can do like this:
.PP
.RS 0
$ make library_combo=gnu\-gnu\-gnu
.PP
If your project requires running configure before compiling there are two issues you have to keep in mind. 'configure' is used to determine the existence of particular header files and/or of some specific functionality in the system header files. This thing is usually done by creating a config.h file which contains a couple of defines like HAVE_... which say if the checked functionality is present or not.
.PP
Another usage of configure is to determine some specific libraries to link against to and/or some specific tools. A typical
.B GNUstep
program is not required to check for additional libraries because this step is done by the time the makefile package is installed. If the project still needs to check for additional libraries and/or tools, the recommended way is to output a
.I config.mak
file which is included by the main
.IR GNUmakefile ,
instead of using
.I Makefile.in
files which are modified by
.IR configure .
The reason for not doing this is to avoid having the makefiles contain target dependencies like above, this way keeping only one makefile instead of several for each target machine.
.PP
The makefile package is written for
.SM GNU
make because it provides some very powerful features that save time both in writing the package but also at runtime, when you compile a project.
.SS BUILDING FOR AN ARCHITECTURE
In order to build a project for multiple architectures you'll need the development environment for the target machine installed on your machine. This includes a cross-compiler together with all the additional tools like the assembler and linker, the target header files and all the libraries you need.
.PP
The
.B GNUstep
makefile package should be able to compile and link an application for another machine just by typing
.PP
.RS 0
$ make target=target-triplet
.PP
where target-triplet is the canonical system name as reported by
.IR config.guess .
.SS USING A LIBRARY-COMBO
When you use library-combos, you must always source
.IR GNUstep.sh .
That allows you to switch library paths on the fly. If you want to switch to a different library-combo in your shell, and if you are using
.BR bash ,
it's common to first source
.I GNUstep-reset.sh
to reset all shell variables, then to source
.B GNUstep.sh
again. Let's assume we use gnu-gnu-gnu as our current
.B LIBRARY_COMBO
and we want to switch to gnugc\-gnu\-gnu, then we would use:
.PP
.RS 0
. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep-reset.sh
.RS 0
export LIBRARY_COMBO=gnugc\-gnu\-gnu
.RS 0
. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

.SH BUGS
.B openapp
does currently not handle library combos.
.PP
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.IP "\fBGNUSTEP_PATHLIST"
This variable contains the paths of the domains in which
.B gopen
tries to find applications to open the files with. Entries are
separated by a colon.
.IP
.IP Example:
.I /home/foo/GNUstep:/usr/GNUstep/Local:/usr/GNUstep/Network:/usr/GNUstep/System
.PP
.TP
.B GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE
is used to determine where the
.B GNUstep.sh
configuration file is located. If the variable is not set
.B openapp
tries to locate it in the folder where
.B openapp
was started, then in the user domain, and as a last resort in the system domain (or actually the place you configured
.RI ( \-\-with-config-file= )
during building).
.TP
.B GDB
Sets the debugger to use when
.B \-\-debug
is used.
