Marc: /* GNUstep Applications */

[http://www.smartsoft.de Smartsoft] develops misson critical software.
== GNUstep Applications ==
* ''SmartObjects3'' is a versatile Database Application Development Environment.
* ''TimberNav'' is a onboard solution for trucks. It allows on-the-fly dispatching. The driver is able to enter delivery notes and the system is capable to navigate through the forest. The system includes CAN-Bus, GPRS and GPS connectivity.
* ''WoodManager'' connects some scales with software to allow easy management of incoming and outgoing bulk cargo.
* ''Timber Modules''
* ''Scientific Assistant'' is a WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor. Based upon a database its pretty powerful.
* ''EasyDispatcher'' is a software for easy and powerful fleet management. Not only for armored car services.

Installation on Windows

2005-06-22T11:07:43Z

Marc: /* Install ffcall */

== Install MinGW ==
Download MinGW-3.2.0-rc-3 or later from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw Install it into

C:/xxx/msys/1.0/mingw

(where /xxx/ is the top-level path you want to use, I use Nicola/GNUstep so I install it into C:/Nicola/GNUstep/msys/1.0/mingw) (earlier versions of MinGW won't work)

== Install msys ==

Download MSYS-1.0.10 or later from the same site. Install it into C:/xxx/msys/1.0
The postinstall script should ask you for the mingw location, then detect it and be happy that it's there and all is setup properly.

== Install msys developer toolkit ==

Download msysDTK-1.0.1 or later from the same site. Install it into

C:/xxx/msys/1.0

Now your MSYS/MinGW system should be setup! Go around and make sure you know how to use the Unix-like shell. Log into it and work in it.

== Download gnustep using cvs ==

== Install GNUstep make ==

go in core/make and do

./configure --prefix=/C/xxx/GNUstep
make
make install

== Setup your GNUstep environment ==

(you will need to do the same every time you start up your MSYS shell to do development)

. /C/xxx/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

Also, set HOMEPATH, HOMEDRIVE and HOME ... add the following lines to your ~/.profile:

export HOMEDRIVE=C:
export HOMEPATH=/home/Nicola
export HOME=/C/xxx/msys/1.0/home/Nicola
. /C/xxx/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

(obviously replacing 'Nicola' with your Login name) (not sure if this setting of HOMEDRIVE etc is really required, will investigate)

== Install the ObjC runtime ==

Actually, recent versions of gcc (3.2+) have a working libobjc on Windows. Nevertheless this step is necessary (at least on Windows 2000) unless you want some strange errors concerning NSAutoreleasePool etc.

First make sure to delete the old libobjc files

find /C/xxx/GNUstep/ -iname "libobjc*" -exec rm -i {} \;

Then cd to dev-libs/libobjc in your cvs checkout directory and install it.

make
make install

== Reinstall GNUstep make (with ObjC this time) ==

go in core/make and reconfigure/recompile again so that gnustep-objc is detected:

make distclean
./configure
make
make install

gnustep-make should have detected your custom libobjc.

== Install ffcall ==

Download ffcall from the GNUstep website,
or from here: ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/gnu/ffcall-1.10.tar.gz,
and type:

./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT
make
make install

Note: The configure script of ffcall-1.10 is broken for Windows 2000. You have to apply a patch: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2005-03/msg00258.html

Alternatively, a zip containing a precompiled copy of ffcall-1.9 is availabe here: ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/windows/mingw-libs/ffcall-1.9-gnustep.zip

Unzip it into $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library.

== Install additional libs ==

Download the following packages:

[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=73290 Download libintl]

libintl-0.11.5-2-bin.zip
libintl-0.11.5-2-lib.zip

[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=17090 Download libiconv]

libiconv-1.8.1-bin.zip
libiconv-1.8.1-lib.zip

[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=16861 Download zlib]

zlib-1.2.2-bin.zip
zlib-1.2.2-lib.zip

from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net, and install them. To install them, simply unzip them into

/C/xxx/msys/1.0/mingw.

== Install XML support ==

XML support not working yet, step omitted

== Install GNUstep base ==

go in gnustep-base, and type

./configure --disable-xml
make
make install

== Install additional GUI libs ==

for the gui, download and install the following packages:

[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=16348&release_id=218220 Download jpeg]

jpeg-6b-3-bin.zip
jpeg-6b-3-dep.zip
jpeg-6b-3-lib.zip

[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=16351 Download tiff]

tiff-3.7.1-dep.zip
tiff-3.7.1-lib.zip

[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=16183 Download libpng]

libpng-1.2.8-bin.zip
libpng-1.2.8-dep.zip
libpng-1.2.8-lib.zip

The process is always the same: download the zip file from the gnuwin32 website, then unzip them into

/C/xxx/msys/1.0/mingw.

== Install GNUstep gui ==

go in the gui, and type:

./configure
make
make install

== Install GNUstep back ==

go in back, and type:

./configure
make
make install

== Check the installation ==

go in a simple gui application (examples/gui a very good starting point), compile and run it. :-)
