Where did you get that conclusion I never heard about that one
before! :-)
I believe his point is a valid one. It would be nice to have some
kind of a standard ObjC library which comes with gcc-objc and which
provides some basic functionality needed in most applications. But I
don't think splitting base would help a lot here, unless we're
talking about a more tight integration with gcc, which would be very
interesting...
Whats problematic is that it isn't possible to go w/o it and run
GNUstep binaries/libraries like a regular Unix tool. Thats one of
the reasons why its currently not possible for OGo to switch to
gstep-base.
Exactly, this is IMO a severe drawback of GNUstep, even worse, a
major show stopper (at least for me)!
