No, you don't need NSApplication.

Try looking at one of the tools in the base library distribution ...
perhaps plparse as a trivial example.


To build a commend line tool you want a makefile like this ...


include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make

TOOL_NAME=foo

foo_OBJC_FILES = foo.m

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/tool.make
