Hi everyone,

       I've written an installation script for GNUstep, which has been tested so far on recent Debian and Ubuntu derivatives. It should be easily portable to any distribution, so long as you can determine the correct commands to install all the dependencies and clang-14. It will just install from source, installing all the files into /usr/GNUstep/System and /usr/GNUstep/Local. It's based on @plaurent's gnustep-build scripts <https://github.com/plaurent/gnustep-build>, but has been heavily modified to only have one script that applies to all distributions. I would appreciate it if anyone would be willing to try it out, or to port it to other distributions. It is probably also portable to other Unixes, but might not be applicable to Windows, iOS, or Android.

To install GNUstep from source, please |cd| to the directory in which you want to store GNUstep's source code, and run the following script:

wget 
-qO-https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethanc8/gnustep-build/master/generic/build.sh
  |  bash

If you want to customize the installation paramaters (for example, to install an older version of the libraries, to install from git |master|, or to disable the applications), please do the following:

git clonehttps://github.com/ethanc8/gnustep-build
nano generic/build.sh# Or your favorite text editor
./generic/build.sh

Thanks!

Ethan
