RE: [Cocoa-sharp] Cocoa# and GNUstep

[Urs Muff]

Hi Gregory,

I totally agree with you!  I was using GNUstep on my XP box for a short
while to make sure stuff compiles for the Objc# project that I was working
on.  The Objc# project is a complement to the Cocoa# project.  Cocoa# is
intended to give Cocoa API to .Net, making it possible to write a Cocoa app
100% in a .Net language, like C#.  The Objc# project allows the integration
of an existing .Net assembly (with no changes to it) to be called from
Objective-C.  This allows writing an app/UI in Objective-C and has some
other business parts in portable .Net format.

We don't use any special features of the Mac OS X platform as far as I know,
and it should be quite possible to make the Cocoa# project to work on
GNUstep.  Fill free to look @ the source code and send patches to this list
('cvs diff -u' format is preferred).

As a precondition you need mono 1.0 or later.

Let us know how we can assist you.  We hang out on the GimpNet IRC channel
#cocoa#.
