GNUstep is a set of general-purpose Objective-C libraries, originally based on
the OpenStep standard jointly developed by NeXT and Sun and now following
Apple's Cocoa APIs. The libraries consist of everything from foundation
classes, such as dictionaries and arrays, to GUI interface classes such as
windows, sliders, buttons, etc.
Please contact the GNUstep maintainers at <discuss-gnustep@gnu.org> in
case of questions and help offers.
To use GNUstep you need to source the envoroment in your shell:
for sh/bash:
. /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
for csh:
source /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.csh
then start your applications with "openapp <name>".
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Update a few GNUstep ports:
* devel/gnustep-make: Update to 2.8.0
* lang/gnustep-base: Update to 1.27.0
* x11-toolkits/gnustep-back: update to 0.28.0
* x11-toolkits/gnustep-gui: update to 0.28.0
Also bump PORTREVISION on dependent ports.
Move Objective-C ports to the v2 GNUstep ABI.
* Bump the LLVM revision used for GNUstep to 7, the minimum to support
the new ABI.
* GNUstep-back does not work with lld, so mark it to use Gold (BFD LD
doesn't seem able to link Objective-C things).
* Turn off some annoying debug logs in GNUstep back, which generate
several messages per second when you move the mouse. These should
never have been enabled in a release build anyway.
* Downgrade Cenon to 4.0.2. This was the last version to actually work
with GNUstep (the later ones use XCode >= 5 .xib files, which GNUstep
can't parse).
* Update gorm to git head. The current release doesn't work with the
new Objective-C ABI, but -head has the patches to fix it.
* Update PikoPixel and add it to the gnustep-app meta-package.
* Update the three core GNUstep packages to the latest release.
* Update gnumail and pantomime to the latest release and fix a linking
error with the new ABI.
* Update GNUstep FTP to the latest version.

Fix configure options for gnustep-make
We were not setting the flag to select the GNUstep ABI, so were defaulting to
using the GCC-compatible version, which was likely to trigger a lot of subtle
bugs. This was noticed when C++ exceptions thrown through Objective-C stack
frames caused segfaults.
Update GNUstep core libraries.
Update the default Objective-C compiler.
Fix various build failures in GNUstep ports from newer versions of the GNUstep
core libraries and from changes to GNUstep Make.
Update various ports that use GNUstep and bump the portrevision of the ones
that haven't had a new release.
Convert bsd.gnustep.mk to USES=gnustep
Simplify gnustep ports
Hook into the regular ports framework:
- LIB_DEPENDS for library dependencies
- Use regular USE_LDCONFIG
Reuse USES=objc (automatic)
USE_GNUSTEP is now a macro to set the dependencies and build feature needed.
Accepted arguments: back base build gui
Merge deskutils/preferencepanes into deskutils/systempreferences
Update the default version of GCC in the Ports Collection from GCC 4.7.4
to GCC 4.8.3.

Update to latest GNUstep core libraries.
Update dependent packages with more recent releases.
Remove old and bit-rotted ones.
Switch to using clang 3.3 and libobjc2 1.7 by default, so modern Objective-C
features work out of the box and remove a lot of configurable options for
sub-optimal (and, often, unsupported / deprecated upstream) configurations.
Take maintainership of GNUstep-related ports.
Several of the ports left in have scary warnings which mean that they are likely
broken in lots of cases. Future commits will fix them.

Unbreak devel/gnustep
The problem with GNUStep is that most of the backends are slave ports with
nearly identical pkg-plists. To properly fix, the slave port pkg-plists
need to be mutually exclusive. This will take a bit of work.
In the meantime, the port can be unbroken by specifying a signal backend.
It makes the port lose effectiveness as a meta package, but at least it will
build now. That's better than being broken.
