I am not a mac developer, but if GNUstep is trying to keep to being source compatible with cocoa as possible, do you need to? Shouldn't the Apple provided dev libraries work too? I could be missing something, and most probably am, but I looked into rust bindings for this library and they had build options to use gnustep/libobjc with macos and linux. Hope that helps. edit: here is the crate I am talking about: https://crates.io/crates/objc-sys https://crates.io/crates/objc-sys

The OpenStep specification is from October 1994. For perspective, the first version of Netscape navigator was in December of 1994 (and the first version of Internet Explorer was in August 1995). Now picture yourself in 2022, building a modern web page, testing with Firefox 100 and expecting it to work with Netscape 1.0

You're certainly not going to be able to -lgnustep-base -lgnustep-gui on macOS without installing libgnustep-base and libgnustep-gui. You should be able to link against libobjc without GNUstep. I'm not sure if Cocoa has diverged enough to be incompatible.

  Las I checked some of Apple's open source compile and run on OpenStep.
