GNUstep NSString.m file

Hi all,

I'm using GNUstep to begin with learning Objective-C. I could find the header files for all, but don't know where to find its implementation files. I was thinking, with that I can understand the whole programming style and many more.

I am working without mac , so if some body knows about any good tutorials , that i can use to identify structure of every Classes.

For instance, i have to parse an xml file, just to learn, but don't know where to start. Without IDE its hard to find out the sequence, and I don't have got access to any tutorials that best explains this, ( all that i get is in accordance with i-Phone and Cocoa. )

I'm concentrating on console programs, so that I can be thorough with the syntax and language.

Pls help me.

+4 A:

http://gnustep.org/ is the best resource for GNUstep related information, including source and documentation.

But tellme where i can see NSString.m in my system. actually i am asking, we include *.m file in our gcc compilation and import *.h files from those *.m files. But i dont see including NSString.m and other *.m file qhile we compile...may be this is a problem of mine, in the concept that i understand.

@Sumit: There are no implementation files on your system. It's already been compiled into the Base library. You have to get the source to look at...well, the source.

GNUStep has some tutorials and definitely the source code available.

You will find that there are small bits and pieces where Cocoa has moved on so GNUStep will not recognize new methods and things like properties or any new objective-2.0 stuff and so on.

.m files get compiled into objects and are distributed as frameworks (on Mac) after compiling you would link against framework that already provides compiled object files

stefanB 2009-12-09 09:33:50

on mac you would see in the linking process something like `-framework Foundation` when your code is using Foundation classes

stefanB 2009-12-09 09:35:33

Meaning, you will not usually see the .m files like NSString.m (if one exists) unless you download the source code for Foundation classes and look inside

Where ever you have the source installed, you can find NSString.m here

/path_to_my_src/gnustep/modules/core/base/Source/NSString.m
