Hi there !

I really have some questions about GNUstep.
(I think there will be many people who asked the same allready but I did 
not find a statement)

Does it get supported anymore ?

I really like WindowMaker and the Apps written with GNUstep seem to be 
quite nice. I think it's however nicer and more consistent than KDE or 
GNOME.
I really would like to develope Apps with GNUstep but I even can't 
install it on my linux machine after downloading everything. I can 
compile all except the gui, guile examples and xgps....base make and 
libobj work!

Is there a HOWTO which does not only say compile all the packages 
above....because this does not work.

The other thing is about the MacOS X compatibility.
The links to the Apple developer site on www.gnustep.org link to apple 
but there is only mentioned that NeXT products are no longer supported.....

SO:

Do Apps written with GNUstep easily compile on MacOS-X ?

Is it worth getting into GNUstep and no waste of time because of not 
beeing supported any more ?

Do GNUstep Apps run without GNUstep on KDE or GNOME or even twm ?

Should I begin learning more about GNUstep or just use qt-lib and forget 
about all that here ?
