<p>GNUstep is the open source implementation of the Objective-C
APIs based on the OpenStep specification that Apple brands as
Cocoa. The similarities between &os; and OS&nbsp;X
<tt>libc</tt> make &os; an attractive target platform for
porting OS&nbsp;X applications, with the addition of
GNUstep.</p>
<p>The GNUstep ports in &os; have now been updated to the latest
releases and now build with the GNUstep Objective-C runtime and
Clang 3.3, with the non-fragile ABI by default. This means that
all of the modern features of Objective-C are supported,
including Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) and recent syntax
improvements.</p>
<p>The <tt>devel/gnustep</tt> meta-port will install all of the
core GNUstep libraries, ready for development. The
<tt>x11/gnustep-app</tt> meta-port will install all of the
GNUstep-based applications and libraries currently in the ports
tree. Many of these are old and not well-tested with later
GNUstep release, so consider them experimental at present.
We are currently working on updating them, including moving from
some abandoned upstream locations to the GNUstep Applications
Project (GAP), which has taken over maintenance of a number of
older GNUstep programs.</p>
