1.5.3 Applications

The Applications location contains applications. Applications are programs that typically have a GUI interface and contain associated resource files, such as images, localization files and other program elements.

Important applications which are part of GNUstep and which are often distributed as part of a core GNUstep distribution include:

Gorm.app
ProjectCenter.app
GWorkspace.app
Preferences.app

In GNUmakefiles, the Applications location is available via the GNUSTEP_APPS variable, which is the Applications location for the domain in which the software will be installed. You can also reference the locations in the various domains directly by using the variables GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_APPS, GNUSTEP_NETWORK_APPS, GNUSTEP_LOCAL_APPS and GNUSTEP_USER_APPS.

In gnustep-base, the Applications locations are available by using the NSApplicationDirectory directory key for NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains().
