Revision as of 08:06, 5 September 2005
Note: Anyone know how to convert Platform Compatibility HowTO source into wiki language, so we can work on others' effort?
Following are procedures for installing GNUstep on different Operating Systems.
AIX
To be provided.
BSD
Darwin-based Systems
To be provided.
Intel
To be provided.
PowerPC
To be provided.
FreeBSD-based Systems
DesktopBSD
DesktopBSD joins the ranks of PC-BSD and FreeSBIE as a desktop-ready version of FreeBSD. However, their desktop is based on KDE.
DragonFly
DragonFly is an operating system and environment designed to be the logical continuation of the FreeBSD-4.x OS series.
I have mostly ported GNUstep to DragonFly, I just need to submit patches now for both GNUstep and DragonFly. To know more, you can contact me. Quentin Mathé
FreeBSD
You can install GNUstep via /usr/ports/devel/gnustep. However, not all required dependencies are installed.
If you install the following in advance, you should be fine: wmaker, libxml2, libxslt, libgmp4, libart_lgpl2, libaudiofile, portaudio, ffcall, glitz
CUPS is used for printing functionality. OTOH, it is a good idea to go for Samba directly, which also includes CUPS. Additionally, you may also want to install 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:
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
References: FreeBSD GNUstep ports, Freshports GNUstep
FreeBSD-Kernel w/ GNU userland
It was reported that this runs GNUstep as well. For more details see the topic of the IRC channel #gnu-kbsd on irc.gnu.org
FreeSBIE
FreeSBIE is a Live-CD Version of FreeBSD.
PicoBSD
PicoBSD is a one floppy version of FreeBSD 3.0-current. You won't be able to use it as a platform for GNUstep.
PC-BSD
PC-BSD has as its goals to be an easy to install and use desktop OS, which is built on the FreeBSD operating system.
Mac OS X
To be provided.
NetBSD
Installing GNUstep from pkgsrc is really straight-forward for NetBSD if you're using a recent pkgsrc distribution. NetBSD/i386 has no known problems right now, however there are reports of crashout problems for gdomap on NetBSD/sparc which may be related to ffi/ffcall issues.
In terms of pre-requisites, ensure you've got a working X11 environment on your system and preferrably are using WindowMaker as your window manager.
Build instructions
To install GNUstep, you need to cd to your pkgsrc tree and then cd to the right package directory, on my system:
cd /usr/pkgsrc
then go to the package you wish to install, for example:
cd meta-pkgs/gnustep
and issue the command:
make install
This command will download source code and whatever dependencies and compile and install them. The version of the meta-packages I used (released with NetBSD 2.0 and called gnustep-1.10.0nb2) installs the following GNUstep components as parts of the meta-package:
- gnustep-make-1.10.0
- gnustep-base-1.10.1
- gnustep-ssl-1.10.1
- gnustep-gui-0.9.4
- gnustep-back-0.9.4
- gnustep-examples-1.0.0
- ImageViewer-0.6.3
- Pantomime-1.1.2
- Addresses-0.4.6
- GNUMail-1.1.2
- Gorm-0.8.0
- ProjectCenter-0.4.0
- GWLib-0.6.5
- Renaissance-0.8.0
- gworkspace-0.6.5
A number of dependency packages are also installed.
This may be overkill - if you don't need all the applications etc, you can install the packages individually.
OpenBSD
To be provided.
GNU/Hurd
GNUstep also runs on GNU/Hurd on the GNUMach kernel.
HP/UX
- GNUstep-core-1.0, please see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/CPAM_with_TWW/References_Manual#GNUstep_and_CPAM. look for the gnustep-core-1.0.sb and gnustep-core-1.0.pb file for building and packaging information.
Irix
To be provided.
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:
<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
The above was a general guide to upgrade from Debian stable to unstable, not exactly the best way to install GNUstep packages. If one doesn't want to upgrade 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 will probably upgrade some other packages to satisfy dependencies, but will have a much small impact on the system since only the packages on which GNUstep depends will be upgraded.
Yet another way is to add tarzeau's repository (powerpc and source); he packages a huge ammount of GNUstep packages. Just add this to your sources.list:
deb http://www.linuks.mine.nu/debian/ ./ deb-src http://www.linuks.mine.nu/debian/ ./
This repository contains packages made in unstable, so it's possible that the dependencies only are satisfied in unstable systems.

- First thing need to happen is to gnerate a gcc cross compiler with objc enabled.
Current nslu2 supported gcc only has c and c++ enabled when building the crosstool-native package.
- check out unslung source using follow command.
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nslu co unslung
- add in objc as language need to be enabled.
perl -pi -e 's!^GCC_LANGUAGES=.*!GCC_LANGUAGES="c,c++,objc"!' toolchain/crosstool/nslu2-cross335.sh perl -pi -e 's!^GCC_LANGUAGES=.*!GCC_LANGUAGES="c,c++,objc"!' sources/crosstool-native/nslu2-native335.sh

- Using Objective-C enalbed gcc to compile gnustep-core,gnustep-* software.
- more strong testing is needed. please add instructon below if you know how to run objective-c's testsuite in crosstool.
