just out of curiosity....
are you completely blind?
I'm just amazed to see that blind people could be advanced computer users....

Greetings.

I'm trying to use GNUstep Renaissance as a means of designing user interfaces for Mac OS X applications (because Interface Builder's lack of support for assistive technology for the blind is driving me up a wall 'cause, well, I'm blind, and because Apple has decided that blind people are more likely to want to use iTunes than Interface Builder (how could they *THINK* such things!), because candor compells me to admit that Apple's probably right on that one, and because waiting for Apple to add support for Interface Builder to their screen reader for OS X is not an option (because I only have so much lifespan)). At any rate, I'm trying to figure out how to instantiate, say, a NSProgressIndicator object (which I'm presuming is specific to OS X), with code such as the following:

<gsmarkup>
    <objects>
        <window title="foo"/>
            <vbox>
            ...
            <    view instanceOf="NSProgressIndicator" height=12/>
                ...
            </vbox>
        </window>
    </objects>
</gsmarkup>

I can't instantiate ANYTHING, by the looks of things, using the instanceOf attribute either with the "instance" or "view" tag (I also attempted to instantiate an NSButton object per one of the examples). No joy. Just an empty window.

Also, in an attempt to compile Renaissance from source, which led to an attempt to get GNUstep Make, which led to an attempt to get GNUstep Startup, I got an error telling me that the system couldn't use my Objective-C compiler to make binaries. Is the Apple gcc incompatible with building GNUstep and, if I completely replaced it with the FSF compiler, would it break Apple's toolchain? I was under the strange impression that they were equivalent.
