It is about developing gnustep. There is a help-gnustep list and others, too.

Yes, you can ship your app standalone. This is manly done by copying the dlls into you app's directory and a line of code to search them there. (There is a howto somewhere.) There is momentarily no makefile directive or so to automate this. > I mean, does an application require many DLLs files to run, or is the > GnuStep fully a static library ?

A certain directory structure is assumed by default. But with the above scheme those directories are set to your app's dir as mentioned (or a place of your choice).
