I think that you need to make libFoundation more publicly available. If you go to its project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libfoundation You'll find there version 0.9.0 February 1999, in fact I thought that the project has been abandoned until someone pointed me to OGo, where after some searching I was able to find the download of version 1.0.72 (I think this is the current one). In fact I'm very interesting in libFoundation because I want to program in Objective-C and any modern OO language needs an utility library like C++ STL or Java API to be completely useful, I think that the lack of such thing makes lot of harm to ObjC. gnustep-base has the problem that it's very integrated in the GNUstep environment and it's not intended to be used standalone like any other library you can link and this is what I like about libFoundation. OK, sorry for the 'braindump'. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
