Debian
Since Debian Sarge (3.1) you can use apt-get to obtain GNUstep packages.
# apt-get install x-window-system-core wmaker gnustep gnustep-devel gnustep-games
to install GNUstep, X11 and Window Maker.
The best way to get up-to-date GNUstep packages is to upgrade from stable to testing or unstable. If upgrading to Debian unstable is not desirable it is possible to simply add the unstable apt lines to the sources.list and specify the distribution when installing the packages, e.g.
# apt-get install -t unstable gnumail.app
This method might upgrade some other packages to satisfy dependencies, but will have a much smaller impact on the system since only the packages on which GNUstep depends will be upgraded.
Slackware
Version 10.2
Libraries and accompanying applications will build with no modifications. Slackware 10.2 ships with GCC 3.3.6, so mixed Objective-C and C++ code is not supported, meaning additional frameworks/libraries may not be supported.
Version 11.0
This version of Slackware works the same as the previous (10.2). Libraries and applications will build with no modifications, but due to the GCC version used (3.4.6) Objective-C++ is not supported.
- Packages
- Slackware packages have been created and can be found in:
- GNUstep FTP (Please read gnustep.README before installing)
