Following are procedures for installing GNUstep on different Operating Systems.

• You may also want to take a look at the dependencies.

BSD-based systems

To keep this list as brief as possible, information about these systems can be found here.

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.

Linux-based systems

To keep this list as brief as possible, information about these systems can be found here.

Solaris

Intel

Move over to http://www.blastwave.org/ or http://www.sunfreeware.com/ to download and install all required dependencies. (Personally, I recommend the packages from BlastWave which usually are quite up-to-date. Interestingly, they already offer GNUstep-make as a package.)

If you follow the installation instructions for GNUstep, you should not run into any problems.

However, if you want to select Window Maker from the X login, you need to do some additional editing. Check out http://www.gunfleet.com/solaris/winman.htm for that. The information about Window Maker found there basically also applies if you plan on using Azalea from Étoilé.

Sparc

• http://www.linuks.mine.nu/gnustep/solaris is one of package sources to create solaris packages for GNUstep.
• GNUstep-core-1.0, please see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/CPAM_with_TWW#GNUstep_and_TWW_HPMS. look for the gnustep-core-1.0.sb and gnustep-core-1.0.pb file for building and packaging information.

Windows

MingW

See Installation on Windows for details on MingW setup. Also look at precompiled binary installer, available from GNUstep's ftp site.
