3. Compiling and Installing the packages

Get the following individual packages:

For GNUstep Launchpad, substitute `gnustep-guile' and `jigs' for `gnustep-gui' and `gnustep-back'.

See http://www.gnustep.org for information on where to get these packages.

Make sure you install all the previously mentioned libraries first before configuring and building GNUstep (Except you need to install gnustep-objc after installing gnustep-make).

Note: you will need to be able to install packages as root (at least the base library) for applications to work correctly.

For installation on specific systems, read the machine specific instructions at the end of this document or appropriate README files in the gnustep-make Documentation directory (such as README.MingW for Windows).

3.1 Using a Display Postscript System

Please skip this instruction unless you really know what you are doing. The DPS backend is not well developed. You are better off sticking to the xlib-based backend.

Install a Display PostScript system if you want to use the XDPS backend. You do not need it if you want to use the xlib-based backend. Some systems, like Sun Microcomputers(TM) already have a DPS system installed. Linux/GNU systems need to use a free implementation of DPS ( have to install gnustep-make (below) before installing this library.

`The TIFF library (libtiff) (Version 3.4beta36 or greater) (REQUIRED)'
The GUI library uses this to handle loading and saving TIFF images.

`DGS, the XFree86 DPS extension, or Adobe DPS (OPTIONAL)'
If you want to use the features of a Display Postscript (DPS)backend. Note that it is not required since you can use the backend that is Xlib based. Note that the DPS backend is also still experimental and not recommended. DPS can be obtained from the following locations:

`PCThreads (OPTIONAL)'
For GNU/Linux systems on Intel x86 processors. PCThreads is no longer necessary (and should not be used) on GNU/Linux systems with glibc version 2, such as Debian 2.0 and RedHat 5.x and greater.

`GDB and Objective-C patch (OPTIONAL)'
GDB can be obtained from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb. The patch to make it work better with GNUstep can be obtained from ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep
