Hi Michele,

I need to create a multiplatform gui app, which later has to be
distributed to quite unexperienced users (let me say that way). I
would really like to use gnustep, but I wonder how can I distribute
the program to my friends. When I developed with MFC on Visual C++, it
was sufficient to copy a set of dll: can I do something similar with
gnustep, or is the installation procedure strictly required?
what platforms do you want to distirbute on? As Fred said, you have the
option to make a self-contained app on Unix (Didn't try since a long time).
For windows you have several options too:
- try the above method
- package all necessary DLLs and resources inside the app bundle,as a
single directory [1]
- package the app itself as NSIS so it can be easily installed: this
requires you to build against the official windows packages and require
them to have them installed, but it makes the installation very "windows
like" ans the future uninstallation
