Note: Anyone know how to convert Reference 1 source into wiki language, so we can work on others' effort?

Following are procedures for installing GNUstep on different Operating Systems.
References: Platform Compatibility HowTO

AIX

BSD

Darwin

Intel
PowerPC

FreeBSD

You can install GNUstep via /usr/ports/devel/gnustep. However, not all required dependancies are installed.

If you install the following in advance, you should be fine:

  • wmaker
  • libxml2
  • libxslt
  • libgmp4
  • libart_lgpl2
  • libaudiofile
  • ffcall
  • glitz

You may also want to install /usr/ports/net/mDNSResponder.

Note: There is a bug in libkvm that requires a mounted /proc. Until this bug is fixed, make sure you have an entry for /proc in your /etc/fstab:

 proc                    /proc           procfs  rw              0       0

We should stay away from HPUX-10.20, it is not supported by HP anymore.

Irix

Linux

Debian

Since Debian "Sarge" you can just say

apt-get install x-window-system-core wmaker gnustep gnustep-devel gnustep-games

to get GNUstep, X11 and Window Maker installed.

But what happen if you have stable (3.0) release ?

Here is an answer from gnustep irc channel:

 <fsmunoz> change every occurence of "stable" for "testing"
 <fsmunoz> remove the security.debian.org line
 <fsmunoz> do apt-get update
 <fsmunoz> apt-get dist-upgrade
 <fsmunoz> repeat  this last one until nothing gets installed or removed.
 <fsmunoz> the, replace "testing" with "unstable"
 <fsmunoz> then, apt-get update
 <fsmunoz> apt-get dist-upgrade
 <fsmunoz> repeat, repeat.
 <fsmunoz> done

RedHat

Slackware

SuSE

Solaris

Current version is 0.9.4.2
