Hello hello! ^^ First, hey to everyone, I have just joined. I’m a Mac OS X user and my coding usually lands in PHP, however, I really like C++ and also the concept of ObjC++. And that brought me here.
So, at school, we have coding class as well. But we only do Java and such - because the teachers have the books for C, but they couldn’t find a portable toolchain. So here at home, I installed GNUstep and everything else into a USB drive. I will see if that will work tomorrow as well when I plug it into a friend’s computer and see if appending the bin-paths will work. But what I had to do was, granting admin privileges…and we don’t have these at school, obviously. Also one has to install three different .exe installers, although it just makes up one system - why? Wouldn’t it be better if there was one installer, so users wouldn’t mix up the paths during installation? But what I originally wanted to ask is: is it possible to create a portable toolchain. I know that GCC looks for its files in a relative manner. So what does GNUstep add - except for the libraries, frameworks and headers - that would make it non-portable? And how can one create a truely portable version of it? Another thing I need a portable version for is a project of mine called drag0n. Its front end is a package manager which is soley based off PHP 5.5.3. But it can do MUCH more. Another thing that was yet always annoying was to obtain compilers. Especially with microsoft. I had to install about 10GB of junk just to get told that I selected the wrong version, because I was falsely advertised by Microsoft - horray!…not. So in that case, I would be re-distributing GNUstep, if it can be made portable, alongside drag0n in order to supply a working toolchain. Besides. GNUstep is an awesome project! :) Kind regards, Kevin Ingwersen. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
