Re: Installation on Mac

[Gregory John Casamento]

Carol,

For this you really don't need all of GNUstep, you just need a library we have known as Renaissance.  

Renaissance allows you to enter your GUIs in an understandable XML format. 

The best person to talk to about this is Nicola Pero.

Also, I am the author or Gorm, the IB equivalent for GNUstep.  If you can think of anything which would help make Gorm more accessible to you, I would be happy to make those changes.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, GC

Subject: Installation on Mac

I'm interested in using gnustep on Macintosh. I'm confused about which 
installation instructions I should be using. If this is not the right 
list for this question, please advise.

My top priority for this package is to build user interfaces by typing 
text instead of by dragging widgets. I have a disability that makes 
Interface Builder inaccessible to me.

I expect to use Xcode as my text editor, and probably to access make 
with a UNIX script from Xcode. If possible, I would also like the 
ability to build simple cross-platform applications, although my main 
target project for now will be Mac specific.

At the GNUstep website, the installation instructions I understand 
best want me to choose between a Darwin and a Mac OS installation, and 
I'm not sure which one to choose for my situation. I found another 
place on the same website that suggested I use Mac ports and Darwin, 
which is really scary to me.

Whatever advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
