Description: A library of general-purpose Objective C objects.
Long Description: The GNUstep Base Library is a library of general-purpose, non-graphical Objective C objects. For example, it includes classes for strings, object collections, byte streams, typed coders, invocations, notifications, notification dispatchers, moments in time, network ports, remote object messaging support (distributed objects), and event loops. It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/gnustep-base
%  sudo port install gnustep-base  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching gnustep-base
--->  Verifying checksum for gnustep-base
--->  Extracting gnustep-base
--->  Configuring gnustep-base
--->  Building gnustep-base with target all

--->  Staging gnustep-base into destroot

--->  Installing gnustep-base

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using gnustep-base with these commands:

%  man gnustep-base
%  apropos gnustep-base
%  which gnustep-base
%  locate gnustep-base
