The IDE? Project Center? I didn't use it. I used Eclipse, but you may
use any text editor, like gedit.
For the GUI editor (Gorm), there is a manual:

Gorm and Project Center are in Debian's repository.

Try installing the package oss_compat (there is a note at the end of
INSTALL.GNUstep).

There are many warnings and errors in the log.

Yes, this is strange. I don't know if we still need to use openapp.

What I have tested is the sequence:
load diphones.mxml --> set intonation parameters --> enter text --> synthesize
The modification of other parameters may or may not work.
