GNUstep on Mac OS X

2013-12-27 Thread Fred Kiefer
I try to keep myself out of the discussions on the GNUstep discussion mailing list. Still I follow them. The only positive thing that I could take from the mails in the last month is that we need better instructions for Mac developers on how to use GNUstep. This really is important. There are plen

2013-12-27 Thread Jamie Ramone
Hi there steppers! OK, here's the deal: I'v been playing around with GORM making a demo of an extended scroll view (a subclass of NSScrollView with some practical general purpose extensions) and I came across a connection-related bug in GORM.
