Greetings.
I'm trying to use GNUstep Renaissance as a means of designing user
interfaces for Mac OS X applications (because Interface Builder's lack of
support for assistive technology for the blind is driving me up a wall
'cause, well, I'm blind, and because Apple has decided that blind people
are more likely to want to use iTunes than Interface Builder (how could
they *THINK* such things!), because candor compells me to admit that
Apple's probably right on that one, and because waiting for Apple to add
support for Interface Builder to their screen reader for OS X is not an
option (because I only have so much lifespan)). At any rate, I'm trying
to figure out how to instantiate, say, a NSProgressIndicator object
(which I'm presuming is specific to OS X), with code such as the
following:
<gsmarkup>
<objects>
<window title="foo"/>
<vbox>
...
< view instanceOf="NSProgressIndicator" height=12/>
...
</vbox>
</window>
</objects>
</gsmarkup>
I can't instantiate ANYTHING, by the looks of things, using the
instanceOf attribute either with the "instance" or "view" tag (I also
attempted to instantiate an NSButton object per one of the examples). No
joy. Just an empty window.
Also, in an attempt to compile Renaissance from source, which led to an
attempt to get GNUstep Make, which led to an attempt to get GNUstep
Startup, I got an error telling me that the system couldn't use my
Objective-C compiler to make binaries. Is the Apple gcc incompatible
with building GNUstep and, if I completely replaced it with the FSF
compiler, would it break Apple's toolchain? I was under the strange
impression that they were equivalent.
