6.5 What is the difference between the NEXTSTEP/Intel User Environment and Developer Environment?

user vs. developer developer vs. user The NEXTSTEP/Intel User Environment consists of the entire NEXTSTEP 3.3 environment, minus the developer tools. The Developer Environment includes the developer tools such Interface builder, Project Builder, C compilers, Object Kits, example source code and developer documentation.

Although it is possible to just get the latest GNU C compiler as a binary, you can not use it! This is because you won't get the standard libraries needed to produce NeXT applications neither the header files. Also it there is currently no third party com

piler shipping. If you want to compile, you are forced to use the NeXT Developer package.

The status of compiling a standard UNIX utility without NeXT's headers and just based on the supplied shared libraries is unknown.
