Note: Anyone know how to convert Platform Compatibility HowTOsource into wiki language, so we can work on others' effort?

Following are procedures for installing GNUstep on different Operating Systems.

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:

 proc                    /proc           procfs  rw              0       0

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:

 <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

RedHat

Advance Server 3.0

FC 3

Slackware

SuSE

Solaris

Intel

Sparc

Windows

Cygwin

MingW

SFU

Microsfot's Service For Unix.

LiveCD for Intel

Current version is 0.9.4.2

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.
