No ... but there is little incentive for people to adopt it if it doesn't
help packaging for our target systems.
I agree GNUstep win32 has high priority because the vast amount of win32
machine in existence.
TWW tools(and all the software they packaged) are in GPL license so if an
OS is not
supported, we can port the tools over.
I tried to port the tools to Linksys nslu2, Mac OS X and win32 with some
progress
but I reach my limit of ability and time.(Now you know I have these three
OS at home ;).
for TWW and win32, here is my finding and testing
sb(software build) tool was ported over quite easily using cygwin.
But we don't use/support cygwin for GNUstep on windows ... so, while some
people may have cygwin installed, most won't ... so we would need the
build tool ported to run without having to install cygwin too.
I remembered I tired mingw first but later back down to cygwin because
cygwin was much easier to me.
pb(package build) tool need more thinking because there so many PMS
solutions for win32. Personally I favor WiX becuase it use xml file for
describing
package building and it is from vendor(MS). Using WiX will make pb
wrapper
much easier, it will be just TWW's XML converted to WiX's XML format.
currently gnustep win32 is not using WiX for packaging, I hope this can
be changed
to use WiX. when TWW tools for win32 is ready, the conversion to use TWW
will
be easier.
That sounds good.

Install-GNUstep-Development-Environment-1.10.1-bin.exe [Nov 5 2004]

the win32 installer has not been updated for a while.
Anyone willing to take on this task ? Package GNUstep win32 using WiX.
