Projects

GNUstep

The purpose of this project is to provide a Free Software version of the Cocoa/OpenStep APIs available on as many platforms as possible. GNUstep seeks to be source code compatible with Cocoa and OpenStep. GNUstep currently supports GNU/Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, Darwin and Windows and ... [More] should be capable of being built and used on any POSIX compliant UNIX platform which has gcc and/or (soon) LLVM/Clang. GNUstep provides a robust implementation of the AppKit and Foundation libraries as well as the development tools available on Cocoa/OpenStep, including Gorm (the InterfaceBuilder) and ProjectCenter (ProjectBuilder/Xcode).

Étoilé

The Etoile project aims to produce a document-centric desktop and post-desktop environment. The project is built on top of GNUstep, a high-quality Free Software implementation of the OpenStep specification from Sun and NeXT and popularised by Apple as Cocoa. The basic unit within an Etoile system ... [More] is the Object. These are arranged within Projects; an abstraction combining aspects of both folders and virtual desktops. Etoile uses highly modular and lightweight components in order to allow users to create their own workflow by reshaping or recombining provided activities, known as Services. [Less]

Sidestep

Sidestep is an experimental version of GNUstep bringing FHS/freedesktop.org compliance, standard build system use, modularized libraries, and several other differences/updates to bring GNUstep into line with the needs of 21st century users.

GNUstep Application Project

The GNUstep Application Project seeks to develop a comprehensive set of administration and user level tools to make using the GNUstep environment a very pleasant experience. Part of the charter of this project is not only to write new tools, but also to port existing NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/Cocoa applications to GNUstep as well.

EDCommon

The EDCommon framework extends Foundation and AppKit in a natural way. It contains common methods you always need, like removing whitespace around a string, special collection classes such as stack or object pair, an object-oriented API for socket programming, some widgets, the chasing arrows to ... [More] indicate background activity for example, an XML parser and other nifty stuff. [Less]

cosmetic

Cosmetic Project aims to build a complete desktop environment for women.

stepmud

A classic LP-style MUD server built in Objective-C using the GNUstep libraries.

buildtools

buildtools is a set of scripts and macros designed for use with GNU autoconf and automake. These include: Support for building frameworks and other bundles for GNUstep and Mac OS X Enabling compiler warnings Enabling or disabling compiler optimisations and debugging information Determining the correct flags and libraries to use for POSIX threads

Eero

Eero is a fully binary-compatible dialect of Objective-C 2.0, implemented with a patched version of the Clang/LLVM compiler. It features a streamlined syntax with improved readability and reduced code clutter. It also has new features such as Python indentation and limited forms of operator ... [More] overloading and namespaces. It is inspired by languages such as Smalltalk, Python, and Ruby. [Less]
