I'm currently coming up to speed on Cocoa, we support large open source
remote sensing C++ libraries on remotesensing.org. Heading off to
Aaron's
Big Nerd Ranch in a couple of weeks (looking forward to that). Being
open
source, most of the application targets end up on Linux platforms and we
have been using wxWindows as a cross platform GUI framework.
Ideally, I'd like to develop the GUI and apps with Cocoa leveraging the
existing Posix compliant libraries (fairly straight forward).
Has anyone had experience in making the Cocoa -> GnuStep transition so
that
Linux and possibly other platforms can be supported? What are some of
the
issues and traps to avoid?
1) GNUstep doesn't support NIB files. You'll have to create code that
will build the interface, or you can use the native interface archive
format of GNUstep. I'm pretty sure one exists...
2) You'll need to convert your project files. GnuStep offers a program
that will convert PB.project files to PC.proj (I think that's what it's
called) files, but I don't know if there's one for modern .pbproj files.
3) The Foundation implementation works as good as Cocoa, but the AppKit
implementation isn't complete.
