I just did a Google search: convert "NIB file" nextstep GNUstep First result mentioned: "lf195, Software Development: GNUstep, the open source OpenStep A tool called nib2gmodel allows to convert a nib file (produced with Interface .... GNUstep offers you the same for free (under NeXTStep or OpenStep" http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2001/article195.shtml See the section under "Utilities". It sounds promising: The tools we'll mention here are designed to port apps from OpenStep to GNUstep. But, as a matter of fact, they go much further since they will allow you to port Mac OS X apps as well. That's the important point : more on this later ! First, there's a tool called OpenStep2GNUConverter, allowing you to convert a PBProject (Project Builder) to a GNUstep Makefile. That is, you'll be able to compile an OpenStep project on your Linux box (for instance) . To compile this project, you'll need another tool called nfmake. A tool called nib2gmodel allows to convert a nib file (produced with Interface Builder) to its equivalent under GNUstep, named gmodel. Do the tools mentioned still exist? luke _______________________________________________ Apps-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/apps-gnustep
