I mention this because your question's answer would vary
significantly depending on which you mean. OpenStep was NeXT's last
OS before being acquired by Apple, at which point the codebase
morphed into Mac OS X. GNUStep is a community-driven project to
recreate much of the functionality of OpenStep (and lately, some of
Mac OS X) on OSes other than Mac OS X. It is the latter which would
"run on Linux", as you mentioned, whereas the former would have been
a replacement for Linux.
Sorry, I did mean GNUstep. For some some reason, "OpenStep" stuck in
my head. So I have changed the subject (line ;-)
I have seen where Xcode has been used for non-Mac development,
although not officially supported, although I don't know if Xcode has
been used successfully develop a GNUstep executable directly. I.e., as
opposed to just developing a GNUstep-compatible Mac app and then
porting over.
Just looking for advice, warnings, recommendations, what-not. A
recommendation could be, "don't--there are better tools for this on
the Linux side." Just since I am familiar and comfortable with Xcode,
it would be nice to use it at least for the bulk of development.
P.S. It's really just that I want to use the convenience of Foundation
objects for a Linux project. I have no intention of doing any GUI stuff.
