While my youngest Mac OS X installation is 10.4 on PowerPC, I'm also on Cocotrons discussion list. Cocotron integrates cross-compilation directly into Xcode and I'm pretty sure this is one of its biggest assets. Zero complaints about this kind of integration, zero attempts to do it another way, people are simply happy with it: - A cross-compiler (Windows, Linux) is compiled with Xcodes' compiler and stuffed into the right place. - A bit plist editing to make this compiler show up in various build configuration panels. Works only partially and doesn't appear to be important. People simply copy build targets from the examples. Once - What can't be fully integrated is simply stuffed into script build targets. Should be trivial to run a GNUmakefile from there ... which might be not even neccessary: - These script build targets inherit all the build environment variables, so its easy to assemble direct build commands in there. You have variables for what to compile, how to compile, which frameworks and options to use, where to put the result. Different scripts for single-file compiles and final assembly. Putting all this together, developers can stick to their well known environment (code editor, GUI builder, especially the visual appearance of them) while GNUstep can run the known-to-work CLI/script/makefile way. Cocotron is MIT-licenced, a look into their InstallCDT script (compiler installation) can't hurt. Pretty straightforward stuff: http://cocotron.org/Tools/InstallCDT http://code.google.com/p/cocotron/source/browse/InstallCDT/install.sh Sample projects with these script targets for cross-compilation exist, too: http://code.google.com/p/cocotron/source/browse/#hg%2FExamples%2FNSOpenGLView Markus -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl.
