Welcome
Welcome to the GNUstep Community website. As with every community
there are some shared interests and some common goals. The interest
part is [1]GNUstep, the best Object Oriented development environment
around, and the goal is world domination.
For world domination we need software and documentation and that is
what this site is about.
Editorial 1 March 2002
Have you all seen the new layout of the GNUstep web-site
(http://www.gnustep.org). It's cool. Nice work Philippe C.D. Robert.
Mailing lists
The most suprising thing to me is the current efforts of writting a
"e;real"e; GNUstep window manager. Let's see which one will
become the default; WOOM or Interface. And speaking about duplicating
work: On the distribution front there is another distribution for
GNUstep coming. First we had SimpleGNUstep by Chad Hardin and no we
also have LinuxSTEP. Apparently there are some ithches that other
distribution makers do not seem to scratch...
Stefan Böhringer is preparing an article for the German C't magazine
Richard mentioned that he has gnustep-base working on Windows XP using
MingW
Code changes
Nicola Pero went on with the changes in gnustep-make. A lot has
changed. And the File System Hierarchy discussion on the mailinglist
has resulted in the change of the Apps directory in Applications.
Richard Frith-Macdonald added a lot of changes to make gnustep-base to
happy it on MingW, while Adam Fedor added NeXT and Darwin objc header
compatibility. Write once compile everywhere is a bit closer
Nicola applied a lot of patches send in by people to gnustep-gui, most
notably those send in by Alexander Malmberg. He also rewrote the
keybinding engine to be a full blown keybinding engine.
Pierre-Yves Rivaille added support for Scroller mice. Great!
Fred Kiefer, Adam Fedor and Willem Rein Oudshoorn all had their hands
in gnustep-gui and gnustep-xgps to clean up the code, add
functionality and make overall life much easier.
Happy Stepping,
Dennis Leeuw
