-Following are procedures for installing GNUstep on different Operating Systems.<br>
-=== AIX ===
-=== BSD ===
-==== Darwin ====
-===== Intel =====
-===== PowerPC =====
-==== FreeBSD ====
-You can install GNUstep via ''/usr/ports/devel/gnustep''. However, not all required dependancies are installed.
-If you install the following in advance, you should be fine:
-* wmaker
-* libxml2
-* libxslt
-* libgmp4
-* libart_lgpl2
-* libaudiofile
-* ffcall
-* glitz
-You may also want to install ''/usr/ports/net/mDNSResponder''.
-'''Note''':
-There is a bug in libkvm that '''requires''' a mounted ''/proc''. Until this bug is fixed, make sure you have an entry for ''/proc'' in your ''/etc/fstab'':
-<pre>
- proc                    /proc           procfs  rw              0       0
-</pre>
-References:
-[http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gnustep&stype=all FreeBSD GNUstep ports],
-[http://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=gnustep&search=go&num=10&stype=name&method=match&deleted=excludedeleted&start=1&casesensitivity=caseinsensitive Freshports GNUstep]
-==== Mac OS X ====
-==== NetBSD ====
-==== OpenBSD ====
-=== HP/UX  ===
-We should stay away from HPUX-10.20, it is not supported by HP anymore.
-=== Irix ===
-=== Linux ===
-==== Debian ====
-Since Debian "Sarge" you can just say
- apt-get install x-window-system-core wmaker gnustep gnustep-devel gnustep-games
-to get GNUstep, X11 and Window Maker installed.
-But what happen if you are on Debian stable (3.0) release ?
-Here is an answer from gnustep irc channel:
-<pre>
- <fsmunoz> change every occurence of "stable" for "testing"
- <fsmunoz> remove the security.debian.org line
- <fsmunoz> do apt-get update
- <fsmunoz> apt-get dist-upgrade
- <fsmunoz> repeat  this last one until nothing gets installed or removed.
- <fsmunoz> the, replace "testing" with "unstable"
- <fsmunoz> then, apt-get update
- <fsmunoz> apt-get dist-upgrade
- <fsmunoz> repeat, repeat.
- <fsmunoz> done
-</pre>
-==== RedHat ====
-===== Advance Server 3.0 =====
-===== FC 3 =====
-==== Slackware ====
-==== SuSE ====
-=== Solaris ===
-==== Intel ====
-==== Sparc ====
-=== Windows ===
-==== Cygwin ====
-==== MingW ====
-=== SFU ===
-Microsfot's Service For Unix.
-=== Others ===
-==== LiveCD for Intel ====
-Current version is 0.9.4.2
-Find the instructions to install and the CD itself [http://livecd.gnustep.org/ here]
-==== Linksys NSLU2 ====

-Stefan Urbanek, please modify whatever you see fit, even delete this page.
-Given GNUstep's cross-platform declaration on application development activities, so should the application mangement activies cross-platform united.
-GNUstep installation process should be and could be as simple as "pkg-inst GNUstep-1.0" across GNUstep supported OS plaforms. But in oder to get there, following need to be done.
-GNUstep package creation automation project.
-* What?: This is a project to automate the process of creating GNUstep environment for a perticular OS platform.
-* Why?:
-** Lots of time is spent by experienced GNUsteppers to assist new GNUsteppers with compiling the source, and this waste will continue to occur unless we resolve certain issues.
-** Time can be better spent on GNUstep developement, and not on the compling and packaging process.
-** Easy installation and removal of GNUstep encourges the deployment of GNUstep in corporate environments.
-** The softare adn pacakge creation processes can be reproduced easliy by others with simple commands.
-** Improves QA testing by generating GNUstep bug fixed instances quickly.
-Plan
-* Introduce CPAM(Cross-Platform Application Management) tool implemented by TWW Inc. to GNUstep CPAD community
-** Cross-Platform is easier said then done becuase each platform's features are barriers for others.
-* Release GNUstep package source implemented by TWW CPAM.
-** I will release a working package source for others to try and review.
-** The package soruces can generate native package format for RHAS rpm,Solaris pkgadd and HP-UX depot formats.
-* Write tutorial on learning TWW CPAM.
-** I am willing to help/assist a few persons to get familliar with TWW tools if they promise to write up what they learned in a tutorial article. As you can see I am really not good on documenation work.
-* Integrate GNUstep developement process with TWW CPAM.
-* More details TBA once I get familiar with mediawiki.
-* Following paragrah can be deleted later.
-  In this paragrah, I just want to make sure above out of nowhere text not treated as spam.
-  My name is T.J. Yang(tj_yang at hotmail dot com),
-  I have been working as a system administator and I am interested
-  to bring the CPAM experience to work on this project. I promised myslef to digitalize the
-  compiling process when "Adam Fedor" was kindly answer my emails regarding to the compiling issues
-  I econcuntered.
-  Please email me if you have comment/questions.
-  For detail about TWW, please see http://www.thewrittenword.com.
-  I have used CPAM tool at work to bring cross-platform open-source software support
-  nightmare under control. TWW CPAM tool is battle field tested ;)
-  All the TWW tools and sources of their supported packages are GPL open-source compliant.
-  They are freely avaiable(ftp://support.thewrittenword.com) but support labor and binary packages are not.
