Changes in version `1.2.0'
Changes in version `1.2.1'
==========================
* The core rules and internals of gnustep-make have been
fundamentally redesigned and rewritten. notably, gnustep-make now
works using only a single recursive sub-make invocation rather
than two, which makes it consistently faster and simpler in all
circumstances.
* the source distribution code has been rewritten to be more general
and extended. Packages built using gnustep-make now automatically
have handy targets building tarballs from sources or from CVS
imports.
* The clean rules have been heavily optimized - they no longer use
recursive sub-make invocations at all and so they are really fast.
* implemented support for auto-dependencies, which means that any
object file automatically depends on all the header files which
were used to build it. Only works with newer compilers.
* Many improvements to java support. Optimized management of nested
classes
* implemented INSTALL_AS_USER and INSTALL_AS_GROUP.
* Better conformance to make conventions.
* implemented a strip=yes option.
* File specific compilation flags
* Fixed darwin support
* Support for C++ files.
* Made use of library installation dir consistent with other
installation.
* Much improved Windows path support
* various bug fixes and minor improvements.

What is usable?
---------------
gstep-make does pretty much what the makefiles in NeXTstep do.
gstep-base (Foundation) stuff should work fine for almost all projects.
gstep-db is only EOF-1.0 compatible but should work ok. gstep-gui
(AppKit) is usable with the xgps backend, and you would probably have
to fix some things in the gui library. Cut-and-paste works, services
work, drag-and-drop works, the NSText classes partially work.
gstep-xgps basic functionality is quite usable. gstep-xdps is mostly
usable. DGS (Display Ghostscript) is usable but slow.

It is probably easy for simple programs. You'll have to use nfmake

Makefiles, or rewrite the Makefiles yourself. You will also have to

(from <ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/dev-apps>).
Can I transfer archived data from GNUstep to Cocoa?
---------------------------------------------------
Apple's archiving format is proprietary and not documented, so this
poses a problem for anyone wanting to implement compatibility with it.
However, even if we reverse engineered the format, there are enough
differences between the class and ivar layouts to make this sort of
compatibility difficult. Not to mention the fact that we would
constantly have to keep up with the changes Apple made. Also Apple's
archiving format, as far as we know, would not be compatible between
different machines because of endiness issues, although GNUstep doesn't
have this problem.
Your best bet is to implement your own archiving format that would
work both with GNUstep and Cocoa. Fortuneatly, you don't have to start
from scratch, since this has been essentially done for you in the
nib2gmodel tool, which has an archiver that works both on GNUstep and
Cocoa. It might be nice to split this off into a separate project to
make it easier for other people to do the same thing.
Does distributed objects work between GNUstep and Cocoa?
