I don't know - it might be possible but I've never tried it. There are
things like character sets, time zones, and languages that GNUstep
loads in and may or may not continue on gracefully if they aren't found.
- Is is neccessary that the GNUSTEP* environment variables are set to
run the application?
It should not be necessary.
- AFAIK it is not possible to create a statically linked libback_,
since it uses (shared) bundles (ie. x11 or art).
Are there any plans to support a statically compiled backend?
When configuring gnustep-make, use:
./configure --disable-backend-bundle
Although now-days, there are other bundles that the gui uses and may
not be able to live without. It's something you'll probably just have
to experiment with.
