Re: Generating makefiles from .xcodeproj

[Ivan Vučica]

Hi,

All of the installation steps involve running ./configure && make && sudo -E make install. You will need to install some dependencies first in order to be able to build various GNUstep components, e.g. gnustep-base. This is all documented in a couple of places around the web (except we no longer use Subversion, so adjust the checkout commands and URLs). The order in which to install out code:

First install gnustep-make.

After installing gnustep-make, you can install gnustep-base.

After installing gnustep-base, you can install libs-xcode: https://github.com/gnustep/libs-xcode

After installing libs-xcode, you can install buildtool.

However, this won't be of much assistance: GNUstep's language of choice is Objective-C, and Swift is not currently a supported language. This also means that libs-xcode does not currently understand how to build Swift.

If you look at its PBXFileReference you'll see that it only understands how to talk to the output of `gnustep-config --variable=CC`.

Sorry.

Hi!

I'd like to be able to build a project defined by a .xcodeproj on Linux (coded in swift, so it should theoretically be possible), and it seems like the GNUstep buildtool could help accomplish that.

Unfortunately, I have been completely unable to find any documentation on this process. Could you please detail for me how, given a folder with a .xcodeproj downloaded onto a linux box, I would build the project?

I'm sorry about the vagueness of my question but I haven't even been able to find documentation to give me a starting point. I do hope you'll bear with me.
