An alternative to GNUstep for cross-platform ObjC development, that seems to be generally much better, is Cocotron. I’ve looked at it a few times. Info can be found here: http://www.cocotron.org/

A really nice feature that it claims (I haven’t tried it) is that you can compile from Xcode on your Mac and have it build a Windows binaries.

Unfortunately it is incomplete. One of the things it lacks is support for Key-Value coding, which is one of the basic elements that is required by the MaxObject framework I’ve been working on and the ObjC version of TTBlue.

That means I can’t use it.

Hi,

Thanks for the entry! The cocotron.org website does not reflect up-to-date status. A good chunk of KVC and KVO were added at the beginning of the year and there is continuous work being done to improve things across the board.

If you want to use Cocotron the best place to start is the developer group mailing list, start talking about what you want to do, try it out, and post bugs. If you need some functionality, the quickest way to get it in is to let us know.
