Hi all, Im going to have some free time during the winter break and the upcoming semester (currently in university). I've been itching to write some applications for Etoile for a couple of years now, and I think now is a good time to start. I have some of questions if some of you don't mind answering.
I've been running a hackintosh for the last year, so i've kind of been ignoring linux in general. I've used Gentoo for about 5 years and have no real experience with other distributions. Do you know if the gentoo ebuilds for gnustep and etoile are up-to- date in portage? Or do you recommend just using ubuntu/debian instead? Secondly, I need to brush up on my Objective-c skills. I recently purchased stephen kochans objective-c 2.0 book as a reference. Does gcc have support for objective-c 2.0? I only know objective-c 1.0, but I would like to use some features 2.0 has. I also noticed that there is an abstraction layer for objc 2.0 in the works for etoile. I'm not exactly sure what that is yet, but sounds interesting. Eventually I'd like to contribute some code in the future once I get used to Etoile. I'm guessing following the material on: http://etoileos.com/news/archive/2007/07/20/1300/ is a good start, but it is a bit dated. Should I still follow the layout on that article, or is there a better way to jump into etoile development?
