I don't know about Apple Mail but it's generally possible to compile OSX applications under GNUstep since Cocoa and GNUstep are the same API in large parts. However, Apple has made some additions to Cocoa that didn't make it into GNUstep (at least not know). The URLLoading framework comes to my mind. > what in the code would make the compilation fail ? > call to the core os-x api ? quartz ? aqua ? Exactly. Everything that is not in the Foundation/AppKit API will cause problems. CoreFoundation is also not available. In general, I would say that it's not too difficult to have an Application working on both OSX and GNUstep (GNUMail and Vindaloo are examples). I usually make my stuff working on both platforms. > I'd like to get macromates poeple to try to compil under gnustep their > excellent text editor called textmates. if only that could work. This would be really cool. I'm using TextMate on OSX for quite a while now and it's really a master piece of work. greets Stefan PS: I cc'ed this mail to discuss-gnustep since it is a better place for this discussion. -- Stefan Kleine Stegemann Mail: stefankst at gmail.com Home: http://rzserv2.fhnon.de/~lg017420 Weblog: http://stefankst.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ Apps-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/apps-gnustep
