Hi all
A couple of questions:
1) Can I use gnustep-make on Linux with colormake or clmake to
colourise the output during builds? If so, how? Have googled and
looked through the docs but I can find but no hints there. I suspect
it would just be changing 'make' -> 'clmake' somewhere in the bowels of
the GNUstep directory hierarchy. Also, how to I set the default level
of warnings (i.e. turn off those annoying "warning: multi-line
comment").
2) A more general question about code quality and portability of
gnustep-base. I am just embarking on a project to port a bunch of
Obj-C/Cocoa code from Mac 10.5 to GNUstep on amd64 Linux
(Debian/Ubuntu) and Win32 (with MSYS/MingW etc) using appropriate
GNstep makefiles. No GUI, just using Foundation classes.
Going very well so far, except for some classes differing between Cocoa
Foundation & gnustep-base (btw, is there a document listing the
differences anywhere?), but I am wondering about things like:
- is libgnustep-base (& libobjc) maintained now & into the future?
On both linux
and Win32?
- is it of an overall quality to be trusted for enterprise use and if
not where
are the glitches at the moment?
- is it likely in the near future (or ever) that Objective-C 2.0
language support
will be provided? Mainly interested in the syntax changes like
@properties,
@synthesize, fast enumeration (which I suspect gcc 4.3 will mainly support)
rather than garbage collection which I am unlikely to use.
Thanks in advance
Michael
