GNUstep Overview

What is it?

The purpose of this project is to provide a Free Software version of the Cocoa/OpenStep APIs available on as many platforms as possible. GNUstep currently supports Unix (GNU/Linux and GNU/HURD, Solaris, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Darwin) and Windows.
GNUstep provides a robust implementation of the AppKit and Foundation libraries as well as the development tools available on Cocoa/OpenStep, including Gorm (the InterfaceBuilder) and ProjectCenter (ProjectBuilder/Xcode).

What is it for?

GNUstep provides an environment to easily develop applications. GNUstep is suited both for advanced GUI desktop applications as well as for server applications. GNUstep provides the foundations for a portable desktop evnironment, but delegates this task to other projects.

GNUstep seeks to be source code compatible with Cocoa and OpenStep, it can thus be used to develop and build cross-platform applications between Macintosh (Cocoa), Unix and Windows.
GNUstep's main development language is Objective-C, but GNUstep is not limited to that.
