GNUstep is actually not that bad.
The most annoying thing is writing the makefiles. They have good documentation if you are building a library, command line tool, or application.
If you aren't, then the documentation is basically "this exists. Go read the source."
I've ported a few foundation tools to bsd.
I'm weird in that objective-c is my language of choice.
- pavlov 16y agoI like Cocotron (another open source Cocoa implementation) because it integrates into Xcode. No separate makefiles to maintain for my Windows or Linux builds, just another target in the same project as the original Mac version. (I realize that cross-compiling to Windows from the Mac is not what the original post is about -- just thought someone might be interested in that option as well.)
- younata 16y agoI like the idea of Cocotron. However, I just could not get it to work on compiling for my bsd system. C'est la vie.
- torpor 16y agoI've lately become very addicted to Objective-C, after a few months of hacking apps for iOS .. and I'm finding myself wishing I could use it at my day job (OS developer for safety-critical systems) .. its just such a sweet language, very friendly and easy to use.
- riffraff 16y agowhat were you building that is not a (graphical I suppose) application nor a command line tool nor a library? (honest question)
- younata 16y agoI was in the process of porting frothkit [1], a web framework, to run on gnustep. I gave up on that, sadly. [1] http://frothkit.org/ http://frothkit.org/
