This document is intended to provide a step by step instruction on how
to get the GNUstep installed on Darwin and Mac OS X.
This document is intended to provide a step by step instruction on how to get the GNUstep installed on Mac OS X and Darwin.

POTENTIAL ERRORS WHEN RUNNING MAKE ESPECIALLY WITH BACK AND GUI
---------------------------------------------------------------
If you get errors like below, just do:
make clean
make
The second or the third time, the errors should disappear.
It's probably due to some potential issues between FSF GCC and the libtool/ld Mac OS X / Darwin versions.

Obtaining GNUstep
-----------------
The main GNUstep project pages tell you how to get hold of this. You can get
the latest release of the following libraries. However, since Mac OS X support
is currently evolving, we recommend that you get the latest snapshot
or code from CVS.

In the case configure didn't found libjpeg, use --with-jpeg-library=<jpeg lib dir> --with-jpeg-include=<jpeg include dir> to have the libjpeg detected.
Example with Fink:
./configure --disable-gsnd --with-jpeg-library=/sw/lib --with-jpeg-include=/sw/include
Building and installing GNUstep-back
------------------------------------
In the back directory, type
Warning !
You must have installed X11User.pkg from the Panther install disc and also X11SDK.pkg from the xCode Tools install disc to be able to compile GNUstep-back.
In the back directory, type:
./configure [CC='<gcc install dir>/bin/gcc']
make
make install
or if you have the freetype and libart libraries installed and want to use
the art backend:
In the case, you choose to use the art backend, you will need to have the freetype2 and libart2 libraries installed, first be sure to have libart2 in your path, for example, with Fink installation type:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
Then you should be able to configure back and install it.
./configure --enable-graphics=art [CC='<gcc install dir>/bin/gcc']
make
make install
GNUstep only runs within X-Windows, so you need to start up an X Server to
run and GUI applications.
You also need to have /sw/lib in your library path before running
GNUstep apps with the art backend, as it needs to find libart2, so put the
above export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH somewhere in your .profile (or do the export
before launching an application) [see the above "Additional Libraries" section].
The backend architecture which GNUstep-gui is built upon, has been written to be used within X Windows, then you need to start up an X Server (like Apple X11) to run the GNUstep-gui applications.
Warning !
With the art backend, before to launch applications based on GNUstep-gui, in the shell, don't forget to edit the defaults (no need it to redo it later) :
defaults write NSGlobalDomain XWindowBufferUseXShm NO
because Apple X11 doesn't support well shared memory for buffering (wich libart2 uses by default).
More informations on the art backend
------------------------------------
To have a working art backend... You will also need to download and install fonts, as it uses a specific font format. Use for example the file http://w1.423.telia.com/~u42308495/alex/backart/ArtResources-0.1.2.tar.bz2 and put the .nfont directories somewhere in $(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT)/Library/Fonts
Other fonts are available on http://www.knuddel.org/Downloads/Fonts/
Window Maker
------------
Window Maker is the standard window manager for GNUstep.
In the case, you choose to use it, don't forget to execute wmaker.inst else Window Maker will crash with signal 10.
Example with Fink, do:
/sw/bin/wmaker.inst
GNUstep daemons
---------------
Refer to GNUstep-HOWTO to know how to launch GNUstep daemons.
Note: If you try to start GNUstep daemons by hand with 'sudo opentool dameon', it won't work, because when you become root on Mac OS X / Darwin with sudo or su, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is erased, then to start them in the shell, do:
sudo opentool gdomap (gdomap doesn't rely on the GNUstep libraries or other special librairies)
su root
then with bourne shell like bash (Mac OS X 10.3):
. /GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Makesfiles/GNUstep.sh
or with c shell like tcsh (Mac OS X 10.2):
source /GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Makesfiles/GNUstep.csh
and just do:
opentool gdnc
opentool gpbs

That's all.
