The similarities between &os; and OS X + <tt>libc</tt> make &os; an attractive target platform for + porting OS X applications, with the addition of + GNUstep.</p> + + <p>The GNUstep ports in &os; have now been updated to the latest + releases and now build with the GNUstep Objective-C runtime and + Clang 3.3, with the non-fragile ABI by default. This means that + all of the modern features of Objective-C are supported, + including Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) and recent syntax + improvements.</p> + + <p>The <tt>devel/gnustep</tt> meta-port will install all of the + core GNUstep libraries, ready for development. The + <tt>x11/gnustep-app</tt> meta-port will install all of the + GNUstep-based applications and libraries currently in the ports + tree. Many of these are old and not well-tested with later + GNUstep release, so consider them experimental at present. + We are currently working on updating them, including moving from + some abandoned upstream locations to the GNUstep Applications + Project (GAP), which has taken over maintenance of a number of + older GNUstep programs.</p> + </body> + </project> </report>
