configuration, building, installation, and packaging. It also allows
the user to easily create cross-compiled binaries.
Changes in version `1.10.0'
Changes in version `1.11.0'
===========================
* a GNUsteprc file is now automatically created and installed in
$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT, which sets the system-wide default for the
user root directory (default=~/GNUstep, which can be overriden
with the `--with-user-root' argument to configure, or by modifying
GNUsteprc after configuration.)
NOTE: The libobjc library is now linked in with the base library and
NOT with individual applications or tools (except on MingW). This
requires that you do a complete rebuild of all libraries, tools and
apps when switching to this new version.
* make_services is not run by GNUstep.sh anymore. You must run this
manually now (see the gnustep-gui documentation).
* New rules for building and using DLLs were implemented. Now gcc
and other tricks are used to properly export symbols, so no .def
file should be needed.
* Palettes use a plist instead of a strings format file now for the
palette.table file.
* The GNUsteprc file in $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is deprecated. See the
new GNUstep.conf file (which is not installed by default).
* Psuedo-framwork support was implemented on MingW. This essentially
involves copying the framework to several places so it can be used
without links, which Windows does not really support. There's no
other clean way to do it.
* Support for xxx_WINDRES_FILES on MinGW was implemented.
* You can use the `--enable-native-objc-exceptions' argument to
configure to enable use of built in objc exceptions with compilers
that support it.

Next, set your local time zone. There are four ways to do this, pick
one (see
In most cases, GNUstep should be able to determine your time zone, if
you have already set it up correctly when setting up your computer.
However, in some cases this might fail or the correct information may
not be available. You can set it manually using the GNUstep defaults
utility to set `Local Time Zone' to your local time zone. Type
something like `defaults write NSGlobalDomain "Local Time Zone" GB'.
Where `GB' is a time zone abbreviation.
See
`$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Libraries/Resources/gnustep-bsae/NSTimeZones/zones'
for typical time zones):
1. Use the defaults utility to set "Local Time Zone" to your local
time zone (defaults is installed with GNUstep in the Tools
directory). Type something like "defaults write NSGlobalDomain
"Local Time Zone" GB".
2. Set the GNUSTEP_TZ environment variable.
3. Create the file
`$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Libraries/Resources/gnustep-base/NSTimeZones/localtime'

The currently released version is `1.10.0'.
The currently released version is `1.11.0'.
Changes in version `1.11.0'
===========================
NOTE: The libobjc library is now linked in with the base library and
NOT with individual applications or tools (except on MingW). This
requires that you do a complete rebuild of all libraries, tools and
apps when switching to this new version.
* New rules for building and using DLLs were implemented. Now gcc
and other tricks are used to properly export symbols, so no .def
file should be needed.
* The GNUsteprc file in $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is deprecated. See the
new GNUstep.conf file (which is not installed by default).
* Psuedo-framwork support was implemented on MingW. This essentially
involves copying the framework to several places so it can be used
without links, which Windows does not really support. There's no
other clean way to do it.
* Support for xxx_WINDRES_FILES on MinGW was implemented.
