<h4 class="subsection">1.1.7 How do you run GNUstep?</h4>
<p>You are presumably under the misapprehension that GNUstep is
some sort of program or window manager.
</p>
<p>It isn’t.
</p>
<p>GNUstep is a whole load of things — primarily a set of libraries
for developing software.
</p>
<p>At present, it’s those libraries, plus various command-line based
support tools and service providing daemons, plus various GUI
development tools, a GUI desktop/workspace application, etc.
</p>
<p>At no stage will you ever ’run’ GNUstep — you will run applications
and tools and will make use of it’s services. At some point
you may well find packages distributed as ’GNUstep’ systems in the
way that you get ’GNU/Linux’ systems packaged today. Look at
Simply GNUstep <a href="http://simplygnustep.sourceforge.net/">http://simplygnustep.sourceforge.net/</a> for instance.
</p>
<p>If you want to see a sample GUI application running you need to build
GNUstep and look at the example applications in the gnustep-examples
package. Build ’Finger’ or ’Ink’ and start it with ’openapp Finger.app’
or ’openapp Ink.app’
</p>
<p>To look best, use WindowMaker (the currently preferred GNUstep
window manager) as your window manager.
