Hi all,
I am new to GNUStep. I just started porting a Mac OS X app to windows
using the binary GNUStep release that I downloaded from GNUStep.org.
Compiling works fine, except for the parts of the code that use
Obejctive-C's native exception mecahnism with <at> try/ <at>
catch. Is it
possible to compile this with GNUStep?
Yes, you can. I haven't tried it out with windows, but on Linux it
works. You
just have to configure make with the option "--enable-native-objc-
exceptions".
(As this is so far not on by default it isn't in the binary release
either, so
you have to compile GNUstep yourself, but as windows releases are
unfortunally
seldom and thus often out-of-date you probably have to stick to
that anyway in
order to work sensibly.)
Just follow the building instructions in the README.MinGW file of
the make
package or on the wiki page
http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Installation_on_Windows (in doubt
the readme
is more up-to-date) and add the above option to the "./configure"
phase of the
make package.
Building by hand on windows is a somewhat lenghty process. But it
is mostly
cut-and-paste from the howtos.
I hope this helps you.
Ingolf
