Ubuntu: Using GNUstep Base Framework

[Daniel J Farrell]

Hello everybody.

Congratulations on a very nice piece of software folks. The website  
and documentions is also excellent.

I have used Synaptic to install GNUstep on Ubuntu under advice from  
( http://gnustep.blogspot.com/ ). But now I'm not too sure where I am  
up to in the installation!

What steps to I need to take to be able to use gnustep in my code  
from here?

Is the idea of gnustep to provide a whole working (IDE) environment?  
Or for example can just I use the base framework/library and link to  
that from the command line? What is the linking flag for the gcc  
compiler?

Kind regards, Daniel.
