Re: [gnuspeech-contact] Linux port / OpenStep question

[D.R. Hill]

Hi Jonathan,

Robert Hamilton has been debugging/documenting the GnuStep compile 
process, with replies from Greg Casamento, if you check the mail list 
archive.

The question you ask is an interesting one.  The NextStep source that was 
originally posted compiled on NextStep 3.1 and was never converted to Open 
Step by the original project group (Leonard Manzara and Craig Scholck were 
the programming gurus & I led the project).  The original system was "FAT" 
insofar as it was written for compilation on both Black Hardware, and 
NSFIP and was tested successfully on both.  However, when it was put up on 
the savannah site, one of the savannah hackers who was helping at the time 
did do a conversion to OpenStep requirements, and that is what Stephen 
Nygard started with in his port to Mac OS/X, for obvious reasons.  It 
could be that the modified source *will* compile successfully under 
OpenStep.  It should not be too much trouble to get it to compile 
successfully, even if there are problems.  The best person to ask would be 
Stephen Nygard or perhaps Greg Casamento.  Stephen has moved onto other 
things,but may be willing to answer your query.  He's on the project 
member list still.
