I did not start to cross compile GNUstep, but started on something similar, the compilation of GNUstep gui with XCode. At AlpenStep Nikolaus Schaller helped me set up a project to compile GNUstep with XCode. It was actually quite easy, but you had to get all the variable settings right, so I just copied them from his myStep project. The basic idea here is to get GNUstepgui and back working with Apples Foundation. This will allow easier tests and performance checks. There are still open problems. One of them is the way we defined the MacOSX version numbers. We use 100400 where Apple uses 1040; this in itself is no problem, but we use Apples numbers if these are predefined and then they don't match the checks. Another problem are the includes of base headers. We use "include" here, but Apples headers are not protected against multiple inclusion. The best solution here would be to replace our includes with "import". I also need to figure out, how to include the configure step into the XCode build process and in case I ever get that far, how to get the X events from Apple. Nikolaus uses something like fh=[[NSFileHandle alloc] initWithFileDescriptor:XConnectionNumber(_display)]; If I ever get this working, I come back with a suitable XCode project file.
