Pingi: /* [http://www.roard.com/docs/lmf2.article/en.html (GUI) Programming under GNUstep] */

This page is intended as a collection of guides for developers.

== Introductory Articles on GNUstep Development ==

{{Stub}}

=== [[GNUstep Suite|GNUstep Libraries and Tools]] ===

A general overview of GNUstep.

=== [http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/Developer/Base/ProgrammingManual/manual_toc.html GNUstep Base Programming Manual] ===

The aim of this manual is to introduce you to the Objective-C language and the GNUstep development environment, in particular the Base library. The manual is organised to give you a tutorial introduction to the language and APIs, by using examples whenever possible, rather than providing a lengthy abstract description.

While Objective-C is not a difficult language to learn or use, some of the terms may be unfamiliar, especially to those that have not programmed using an object-oriented programming language before. Whenever possible, concepts will be explained in simple terms rather than in more advanced programming terms, and comparisons to other languages will be used to aid in illustration.

=== [http://www.roard.com/docs/lmf2.article/en.html (GUI) Programming under GNUstep] ===

This tutorial will introduce you to the [[AppKit]] classes and how to use [[Gorm]] to create graphical interfaces.

=== [[Writing Makefiles]] ===

The Makefile package is a system of make commands that is designed to encapsulate all the complex details of building and installing various types of projects from libraries to applications to documentation. This frees the developer to focus on the details of their particular project. Only a fairly simple main makefile need to be written which specifies the type of project and files involved in the project.

=== [ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/gnustep-examples-1.1.0.tar.gz Sample GNUstep Programs] ===

This isn't really an article but rather a collection of small "codified guides" for the pragmatic programmer who wants to explore GNUstep by looking at and messing around with example code. This is best done while reading about basic concepts of OpenStep or Cocoa with the API documentation ([[Foundation]], [[AppKit]]) open in the background.

== General ==

=== [[Writing portable code|Coding for Portability]] ===

Writing code that will compile and then run on different platforms can be surprisingly easy. This guide describes
some straight-forward steps to take to make your program easy to port to new platforms.

=== [[Property Lists|Using Property Lists]] ===

A regular issue that programmers face is storing structured configuration information, and reading it back. GNUstep has a standard mechanism that can be used for this task, amongst others: Property Lists.

=== [[Deployment on Windows]] ===

This article will tell you how to deploy GNUstep applications on Windows.

=== [[Adding a new Natural Language to GNUstep|Translating GNUstep]] ===

Translation of GNUstep applications involves a number of steps, including translation of GNUstep Base and GNUstep GUI.

== Graphical Applications ==

=== Simple Graphical Application Design ===
GNUstep includes several sophisticated development tools. GNUstep GUI interfaces are designed using [[Gorm]] (Graphical Object Relationship Modeler), an elegant application developed by Gregory Casamento. (See his [http://heronsperch.blogspot.com/ blog] for the latest news on GORM.) There are two proto-IDEs, [[ProjectCenter]] and [[ProjectManager]].

There are several introductory tutorials for using these development tools. The first [http://www.gnustep.it/pierre-yves/index.html tutorial] by Pierre-Yves Rivaille is a classic demonstrating the process used to create the ubiquitous currency converter application. A second [http://www.nongnu.org/gstutorial/ tutorial] by Yen-Ju Chen is somewhat more in-depth and extensive.

Nicolas Roard created a [http://gnustep.org/experience/DevelopmentDemonstration.html video] demonstrating the process of developing a simple calculator, and another [http://home.gna.org/pmanager/videos.html video] here by Sašo Kiselkov if you feel the need to create another currency converter.

=== [[Document based applications|Document-based Application Design]] ===

One of the most common use-patterns of applications on modern platforms is that of document-based applications --- applications which can have several active user-controlled contexts. Some familar examples might be a word processor where the user may have multiple document windows concurrently, or a web browser which allows a user to have a number of different browser windows open at the same time. This guide provides information and tips on how to code this style of application.

{{Application|
shortdescription = '''PRICE''' (Precision Raster Image Convolution Engine) |
currentversion = [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/price/PRICE-0.8.2.tar.gz?download 0.8.2] |
releasedate = Feb 21, 2008 |
license = GPL 2.0 |
overview = PRICE is a high quality image manipulation and enhancement application and supports the image formats supported by GNUstep. It allows various manipulations like simple rotating and flipping up to edge tracing or noise reduction. Custom convolutions are supported. |
features =
PRICE can be used as a simple image viewer, it treats images as documents and thus multiple images can be opened and viewed at different zoom levels.
PRICE is able to perform basic image opertions like rotation, mirroring, cropping and scaling. PRICE also shows information about the image that can be useful for image analysis, like histograms (in case of an RGB image the colors are stacked so to give also a clue about the brightness) as well as the modulus of the FFT and thus show the image in its frequency domain.

PRICE can work with filters based on convolutions, either entered custom, or by applying a frequency low-pass or frequency high-pass filter. These frequency filters are applied in the frequency domain using a 2D discrete fourier transform and thus they are of very high quality but expensive in terms of computation and memory. A low pass filter is roughly a "blur" while a high-pass filter shows the edges of an image and can be used for edge enhancement. The custom convolution kernel of 5x5 may also be used for thus effects and the documention on the website offers both numeric as visual examples.

PRICE also offers a series of manipulations in the "enhancement" category. Basic controls like brightness and contrast controls are present. A Median filter is offered for noise reduction and different options about its application are offered, which allow to customize the effect regarding both strength as its impact on the edges and corners.
Edge Tracing is also offered, both in a traditional manner as in an advance features which essentially couples a median filter with the standard edge tracer and works on up to three levels. While complicated to setup, this tool is very flexible and is capable of astonishing results.

Pingi:

{{stub}}

GNUstep's '''backend''' provides a small set of functions used by the [[AppKit|GUI]] library to interface to the actual window system (X11, etc). It also has a drawing engine which emulates common PostScript functions.

The package [[back|gnustep-back]] provides the following backends
* art – default backend on unixlike systems. Uses the vector-based PostScriptlike 2d graphics library libArt.
* winlib – default backend on windows systems. Calls the Windows API.
* xlib – old (deprecated) X11 backend.
* cairo – experimental backend using the cairo 2D graphics library. Whilst being not ready for daily work it is planned to replace the current default backends and let cairo care about the underlying graphics system (xlib/xrender, win32, opengl...)

the articles do not clearly state the difference between framework and app. and as the two come as bundle and require each other to be useful, one article should be ok.

Pingi: /* Generic installation instructions */

It is often reported that users find GNUstep difficult to install. This may be a result of lacking information.

== Generic installation instructions ==
To install a standard configuration you need only 3 steps:
# Download the package "GNUstep [[Startup]]" (i. e. gnustep-startup-0.18.3.tar.bz) from the download page (http://wwwmain.gnustep.org/resources/downloads.php). Unpack it into a directory of your choice.
# cd into that directory. To build and install, type: <tt>sudo ./InstallGNUstep</tt>
# add the following line to your ~/.bashrc: <tt>. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh</tt>

This is all.

GNUstep Applications and additional libs can be installed via <tt>sudo make install</tt>.

Installation on Windows

2007-12-22T21:18:10Z

Pingi: /* Install Windows GNUstep Manually */

= Binary installer =
Using the binary installer (created using Nullsoft's [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS]) is the easiest way to get the GNUstep development libraries to your PC. Unfortunately the releases are somewhat sporadic.

== Install instructions ==
* Download installers from [ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/windows the ftp site] (i.e. gnustep-system-0.9.1-setup.exe + gnustep-core-0.9.1-setup.exe) and run them.
* select install binaries
Now you have an MSYS environment (minimal GNU with shell and basic programs). You can start the shell via "Start → Programs → GNUstep Development → MSYS for GNUstep" and begin programming.

<small>To start you could download the gnustep examples package:
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/usr-apps/examples
alternatively download the gnustep-example package from [ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/ here] and unpack with <code>tar zxf gnustep-examples-1.1.0.tar.gz</code>. To compile/run an example type:
cd examples/gui/GSTest
make
openapp ./GSTest.app
</small>
Have much fun!

= Install Windows GNUstep Manually =
Building and installing GNUstep on windows is a "lengthy but painless process." Below is the detailed recipe.

== Install MinGW ==
Download [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=82721 MinGW] (MinGW-5.1.3.exe or later) (cygwin works with a little tweaking; see talk page) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw Install it into <tt>C:\''xxx''\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>

(where ''xxx'' is the top-level path you want to use, I use Nicola/GNUstep so I install it into <tt>C:\Nicola\GNUstep\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>)

== Install msys ==

Download MSYS-1.0.10 or later from the same site. Install it into <tt>C:\''xxx''\msys\1.0</tt>
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 <tt>C:\''xxx''\msys\1.0</tt>

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 ==
=== Via subversion ===
If you have a copy of SVN (http://subversion.tigris.org/) installed on your system and want to have the most up-to-date version just being worked on, do the following.

In windows, go to 'Start → All Programs → mingw → MSYS → Msys'.
The MINGW32 window appears.

Type the following:
mkdir install
cd install
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/core

This will download the core GNUstep libraries (make, base, gui and back).

=== Release tarball ===

Otherwise download from the main site http://www.gnustep.org (or ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/) the file gnustep-startup-x.yy.z.tar.gz. It contains the core libraries. Put it somewhere in your MSYS home folder, i.e. under C:\xxx\msys\1.0\home\Nicola\install

To unpack the file type the following into the MSYS window
cd ~/install #or where you put it
tar zxf gnustep-startup-0.16.1.tar.gz

<p style="color:red; background-color:yellow;">After these steps you have the most recent installation instructions in the file 'core/make/Documentation/README.MinGW'</p>

== Install GNUstep make ==

cd gnustep/core/make
./configure --with-layout=fhs
make
make install

== Install the ObjC runtime ==

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

First make sure to delete the old libobjc files
rm -Rf /mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/include/objc
rm -Rf /mingw/lib/libobjc.a
rm -Rf /mingw/lib/libobjc.la

Then get GNUstep's libobjc and install it.
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/dev-libs/libobjc
cd libobjc
make
make install

If you don't use SVN, download gnustep-libobjc from ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/libs/

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

Enter the core/make directory and reconfigure/recompile again so that gnustep-objc is detected:
cd ~/install/gnustep/core/make
make distclean
./configure --with-layout=fhs
make
make install

gnustep-make should have detected your custom libobjc.

== Install ffcall ==

Download ffcall from the GNUstep website into c:/xxx/msys/1.0/home/Nicola/install
or from here: ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/gnu/ffcall-1.10.tar.gz,
and type:
cd ~/install
tar -zxvf ffcall-1.10.tar.gz
cd ffcall-1.10
./configure

A windows prompt may appear (several times) stating that conftest.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Click the [Don't Send] button.

After much output, the following will be displayed:
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating config.h

Type the following:
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

==== Precompiled library ====

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-1.9.2-1-bin.zip
:libiconv-1.9.2-1-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 <tt>C:\''xxx''\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>.

== Install XML support ==
Download the latest version of libxml from [ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/].

./configure
make
make install

<p style="color:red; background-color:yellow;">Do not install libxslt. It is broken on Windows.</p>

== Install GNUstep base ==

Enter the gnustep-base directory, and type
cd ~/install/gnustep/core/base
./configure
make
make install

If you didn't install libxml,
./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-bin.zip
: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 <tt>C:''xxx''\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>.

== Install GNUstep gui ==

Type the following:
cd ~/install/gnustep/core/gui
./configure
make
make install

== Install GNUstep back ==

cd to core/back and type:

./configure
make

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

Installation on Windows

2007-12-20T17:56:27Z

Pingi: /* GNUstep .exe installer using Nullsoft's [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS] */

= Binary installer =
Using the binary installer (created using Nullsoft's [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS]) is the easiest way to get the GNUstep development libraries to your PC. Unfortunately the releases are somewhat sporadic.

== Install instructions ==
* Download installers from [ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/windows the ftp site] (i.e. gnustep-system-0.9.1-setup.exe + gnustep-core-0.9.1-setup.exe) and run them.
* select install binaries
Now you have an MSYS environment (minimal GNU with shell and basic programs). You can start the shell via "Start → Programs → GNUstep Development → MSYS for GNUstep" and begin programming.

<small>To start you could download the gnustep examples package:
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/usr-apps/examples
alternatively download the gnustep-example package from [ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/ here] and unpack with <code>tar zxf gnustep-examples-1.1.0.tar.gz</code>. To compile/run an example type:
cd examples/gui/GSTest
make
openapp ./GSTest.app
</small>
Have much fun!

= Install Windows GNUstep Manually =

== Install MinGW ==
Download [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=82721 MinGW] (MinGW-5.1.3.exe or later) (cygwin works with a little tweaking; see talk page) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw Install it into <tt>C:\''xxx''\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>

(where ''xxx'' is the top-level path you want to use, I use Nicola/GNUstep so I install it into <tt>C:\Nicola\GNUstep\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>)

== Install msys ==

Download MSYS-1.0.10 or later from the same site. Install it into <tt>C:\''xxx''\msys\1.0</tt>
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 <tt>C:\''xxx''\msys\1.0</tt>

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 ==
=== Via subversion ===
If you have a copy of SVN (http://subversion.tigris.org/) installed on your system and want to have the most up-to-date version just being worked on, do the following.

In windows, go to 'Start → All Programs → mingw → MSYS → Msys'.
The MINGW32 window appears.

Type the following:
mkdir install
cd install
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/core

This will download the core GNUstep libraries (make, base, gui and back).

=== Release tarball ===

Otherwise download from the main site http://www.gnustep.org (or ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/) the file gnustep-startup-x.yy.z.tar.gz. It contains the core libraries. Put it somewhere in your MSYS home folder, i.e. under C:\xxx\msys\1.0\home\Nicola\install

To unpack the file type the following into the MSYS window
cd ~/install #or where you put it
tar zxf gnustep-startup-0.16.1.tar.gz

<p style="color:red; background-color:yellow;">After these steps you have the most recent installation instructions in the file 'core/make/Documentation/README.MinGW'</p>

== Install GNUstep make ==

cd gnustep/core/make
./configure --with-layout=fhs
make
make install

== Install the ObjC runtime ==

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

First make sure to delete the old libobjc files
rm -Rf /mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/include/objc
rm -Rf /mingw/lib/libobjc.a
rm -Rf /mingw/lib/libobjc.la

Then get GNUstep's libobjc and install it.
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/dev-libs/libobjc
cd libobjc
make
make install

If you don't use SVN, download gnustep-libobjc from ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/libs/

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

Enter the core/make directory and reconfigure/recompile again so that gnustep-objc is detected:
cd ~/install/gnustep/core/make
make distclean
./configure --with-layout=fhs
make
make install

gnustep-make should have detected your custom libobjc.

== Install ffcall ==

Download ffcall from the GNUstep website into c:/xxx/msys/1.0/home/Nicola/install
or from here: ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/gnu/ffcall-1.10.tar.gz,
and type:
cd ~/install
tar -zxvf ffcall-1.10.tar.gz
cd ffcall-1.10
./configure

A windows prompt may appear (several times) stating that conftest.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Click the [Don't Send] button.

After much output, the following will be displayed:
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating config.h

Type the following:
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

==== Precompiled library ====

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-1.9.2-1-bin.zip
:libiconv-1.9.2-1-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 <tt>C:\''xxx''\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>.

== Install XML support ==
Download the latest version of libxml from [ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/].

./configure
make
make install

<p style="color:red; background-color:yellow;">Do not install libxslt. It is broken on Windows.</p>

== Install GNUstep base ==

Enter the gnustep-base directory, and type
cd ~/install/gnustep/core/base
./configure
make
make install

If you didn't install libxml,
./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-bin.zip
: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 <tt>C:''xxx''\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>.

== Install GNUstep gui ==

Type the following:
cd ~/install/gnustep/core/gui
./configure
make
make install

== Install GNUstep back ==

cd to core/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. :-)

Some older makefiles may require that you type
export GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles
before compiling.

gnustep-make should have detected your custom libobjc.

== Install ffcall ==

Download ffcall from the GNUstep website into c:/xxx/msys/1.0/home/Nicola/install
or from here: ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/gnu/ffcall-1.10.tar.gz,
and type:
cd ~/install
tar -zxvf ffcall-1.10.tar.gz
cd ffcall-1.10
./configure

A windows prompt may appear (several times) stating that conftest.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Click the [Don't Send] button.

After much output, the following will be displayed:
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating config.h

Type the following:
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

==== Precompiled library ====

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-1.9.2-1-bin.zip
:libiconv-1.9.2-1-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 <tt>C:\''xxx''\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>.

== Install XML support ==
Download the latest version of libxml from [ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/].

./configure
make
make install

<p style="color:red; background-color:yellow;">Do not install libxslt. It is broken on Windows.</p>

== Install GNUstep base ==

Enter the gnustep-base directory, and type
cd ~/install/gnustep/core/base
./configure
make
make install

If you didn't install libxml,
./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-bin.zip
: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 <tt>C:''xxx''\msys\1.0\mingw</tt>.

== Install GNUstep gui ==

Type the following:
cd ~/install/gnustep/core/gui
./configure
make
make install

== Install GNUstep back ==

cd to core/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. :-)

Some older makefiles may require that you type
export GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles
before compiling.

Pingi: /* Proposal list (incomplete!) */ some added from the discussion

Whilst GNUstep has no official slogan so far, the potential benefit of having one was discussed and many drafts were proposed on the mailing lists recently (around 2nd November week 2007). This is the attempt of summing them up together with some pros and cons which were noted.

The con/pro comments are given in headwords. It must be kept in mind that the pros and cons are weighted rather differently by the individual discussion participants. Proposals without comment were more or less ignored so far.

Please fill in more. This is just a beginning.

== General considerations ==
Headwordwise:
* prescriptiveness: (i.e. mention: code, development, API, OpenStep ...)
*:Some say -- with regard to the low publicity -- a slogan should give a short description of what GNUstep is
*:Others say, it should leave space for imagination.
* mentioning Cocoa/NeXT/Apple/Mac:
*:Some say Cocoa should be mentioned to give a better idea of what GNUstep is like, and/or to use Apple's publicity
*:Others say that could lead to legal problems with Apple, exspecially when claiming superiority. Competing boldly with Apple could also hurt credibility.
*mentioning advantages (i.e. productivity, portability ...)

==Proposal list (incomplete!)==

;GNUstep -- boost your (open source GUI) developement productvity

=== General considerations ===
Headwordwise, again:
* prescriptiveness: (i.e. mention: code, development, API, OpenStep ...)
*:Some say -- with regard to the low publicity -- a slogan should give a short description of what GNUstep is
*:Others say, it should leave space for imagination.
* mentioning Cocoa/NeXT/Apple/Mac:
*:Some say Cocoa should be mentioned to give a better idea of what GNUstep is like, and/or to use Apple's publicity
*:Others say that could lead to legal problems with Apple, exspecially when claiming superiority. Competing boldly with Apple could also hurt credibility.
*mentioning advantages (i.e. productivity, portability ...)

shortdescription = PRICE (Precision Raster Image Convolution Engine) |
currentversion = [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/price/PRICE-0.8.1.tar.gz?download 0.8.1] |
releasedate = November 5, 2006 |
license = GPL 2.0 |
overview = PRICE is a high quality image manipulation and enhancement application and supports the image formats supported by GNUstep. It allows various manipulations like simple rotating and flipping up to edge tracing or noise reduction. Custom convolutions are supported. |
features =
PRICE can be used as a simple image viewer, it treats images as documents and thus multiple images can be opened and viewed at different zoom levels.
PRICE is able to perform basic image opertions like rotation, mirroring, cropping and scaling. PRICE also shows information about the image that can be useful for image analysis, like histograms (in case of an RGB image the colors are stacked so to give also a clue about the brightness) as well as the modulus of the FFT and thus show the image in its frequency domain.

PRICE can work with filters based on convolutions, either entered custom, or by applying a frequency low-pass or frequency high-pass filter. These frequency filters are applied in the frequency domain using a 2D discrete fourier transform and thus they are of very high quality but expensive in terms of computation and memory. A low pass filter is roughly a "blur" while a high-pass filter shows the edges of an image and can be used for edge enhancement. The custom convolution kernel of 5x5 may also be used for thus effects and the documention on the website offers both numeric as visual examples.

PRICE also offers a series of manipulations in the "enhancement" category. Basic controls like brightness and contrast controls are present. A Median filter is offered for noise reduction and different options about its application are offered, which allow to customize the effect regarding both strength as its impact on the edges and corners.
Edge Tracing is also offered, both in a traditional manner as in an advance features which essentially couples a median filter with the standard edge tracer and works on up to three levels. While complicated to setup, this tool is very flexible and is capable of astonishing results.
