About:
GNUstep Make is the core build system that provides the standard makefile framework for developing GNUstep applications and libraries. It handles compilation, linking, and installation processes across various toolchains and operating systems. This package enables developers to create portable OpenStep-compliant software with consistent build procedures.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform build system for GNUstep applications
  • Supports multiple toolchains (GCC, Clang) and platforms
  • Automatic dependency tracking and parallel build support
  • Standardized installation and packaging rules
Use Cases:
  • Building GNUstep-based applications from source
  • Developing cross-platform Objective-C software
  • Creating OpenStep-compatible frameworks and libraries
Alternatives:
  • CMake – More modern and widely adopted, but lacks native GNUstep/OpenStep integration
  • Autotools – Traditional Unix build system, more complex configuration but not GNUstep-specific
