Gui

The GNUstep GUI library is a free software package implementing the API of the OpenStep Application Kit (tm), or "AppKit", including later additions. This documentation package describes the core of the Base library; for documentation on additional classes, see the GuiAdditions documentation package.

Read the Release Notes for the current release.

Compatibility

GNUstep is generally compatible with the OpenStep specification and with recent developments of the Mac OS X (Cocoa) API. Where MacOS deviates from the OpenStep API, GNUstep generally attempts to support both versions. In some cases the newer MacOS APIs are incompatible with OpenStep, and GNUstep usually supports the richer version. See the OpenStep Compliance section for more information on OpenStep Compliance.
