Re: Pleas help me about porting applications from Openstep to GNUstep.

[Ryan Hwang]

Thanks so much for your immediate reply,Adam~!

 

But I'm still having problems..

 

I modified the Makfiles like yours.After "make" it, displayed:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$ make

This is gnustep-make 2.0.6. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help' for help.

Making all for app modeleNpop...

make[1]:GNUmakefile:No such file or directory

make[1]:*** No rule to make target 'GNUmakefile'. Stop.

make: *** [modeleNpop.all.app.variables] Error 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The application and source codes are available at:

https://senselab.med.yale.edu/ModelDB/ShowModel.asp?model=97983&file=\wendlingEtAl2005\readme.html

 

and I installed gnustep-system-0.20.3 and gnustep-core-0.20.3 for Windows which are available at:

 http://gnustep.org/experience/Windows.html

I wonder if there are any other files needed in my GNUstep.

I'm so sorry for bothering you again.

I can't find any references or books aobut Openstep or GNUstep in the library here,nor can I turn to anyone else for help.It's really confusing me.

 

Appreciating your great kindness!

 

Sincerely Yours,

Ryan Hwang

You can't use the old Makefiles, you need new ones.

There a few tools that might work:

The released, but very old OpenStep2GNUConverter:

ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/contrib/Openstep2GNUConverter-20000717.tar.gz

The unreleased pbxbuild:

http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/tools/pbxbuild/trunk/

Although your project is pretty simple.  I bet a Makefile like this would work:

NAME = modeleNpop

PROJECTVERSION = 2.6

PROJECT_TYPE = Application

LANGUAGE = English

NEXTSTEP_APPICON = modeleNcol.tiff

ICONSECTIONS = -sectcreate __ICON app modeleNcol.tiff

LOCAL_RESOURCES = modeleNpop.nib population.nib

CLASSES = popManager.m population.m

HFILES = fonctionsC.h popManager.h population.h

MFILES = modeleNpop_main.m

CFILES = fonctionsC.c

OTHERSRCS = Makefile.preamble Makefile Makefile.postamble

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make

APP_NAME=$(NAME)

$(NAME)_HEADER_FILES=$(HFILES)

$(NAME)_OBJC_FILES=$(MFILES) $(CLASSES)

$(NAME)_C_FILES=$(CFILES)

$(NAME)_RESOURCE_FILES=$(LOCAL_RESOURCES)

-include Makefile.preamble

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/application.make

-include Makefile.postamble

To anyone who can help me:

 

Hello~

 

Recently I'v got an application for my research(about EEG signal processing),but it was developped in Openstep Enterprise (OSE) for Windows.

I installed GNUstep,but I don't know how to port the app to GNUstep since I've never learned about UNIX/Linux/GNU stuff like that before.

 

There are source codes and the author says: This source code can be imported in Linux GNUSTEP with MINOR modifications as GNUSTEP is compliant with Openstep specifications.

 

I wonder what to modify and how to.

 

Here is the Makefile in the Source Code:

 

===========================================================================

#
# Generated by the NeXT Project Builder.
#
# NOTE: Do NOT change this file -- Project Builder maintains it.
#
# Put all of your customizations in files called Makefile.preamble
# and Makefile.postamble (both optional), and Makefile will include them.
#

NAME = modeleNpop

PROJECTVERSION = 2.6
PROJECT_TYPE = Application
LANGUAGE = English

NEXTSTEP_APPICON = modeleNcol.tiff
ICONSECTIONS = -sectcreate __ICON app modeleNcol.tiff

LOCAL_RESOURCES = modeleNpop.nib population.nib

CLASSES = popManager.m population.m

HFILES = fonctionsC.h popManager.h population.h

MFILES = modeleNpop_main.m

CFILES = fonctionsC.c

OTHERSRCS = Makefile.preamble Makefile Makefile.postamble

MAKEFILEDIR = $(NEXT_ROOT)/NextDeveloper/Makefiles/pb_makefiles
CODE_GEN_STYLE = DYNAMIC
MAKEFILE = app.make
NEXTSTEP_INSTALLDIR = $(HOME)/Apps
WINDOWS_INSTALLDIR = $(HOME)/Apps
PDO_UNIX_INSTALLDIR = $(HOME)/Apps
LIBS =
DEBUG_LIBS = $(LIBS)
PROF_LIBS = $(LIBS)

FRAMEWORKS = -framework AppKit -framework Foundation

include $(MAKEFILEDIR)/platform.make

-include Makefile.preamble

include $(MAKEFILEDIR)/$(MAKEFILE)

-include Makefile.postamble

-include Makefile.dependencies
==============================================================================

 

When I "make" this file in the GNUstep,it displays:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Makefile:46:/NextDeveloper/Makefiles/pb_makefiles/platform.make:No such file or directory

Makefile:50:/NextDeveloper/Makefiles/pb_makefiles/app.make:No such file or directory

make:  ***  No rule to make target '/NextDeveloper/Makefiles/pb_makefiles/app.make'. Stop.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

It's really an important application for me, and I really need your help~

If other source codes are needed,please let me know.

Looking forward to your reply ASAP.

 

I'd be most grateful for your help.

 

 

Sincerely Yours,

Ryan Hwang
