Update of bug #26437 (project gnustep):
Status: None => Invalid
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #4:
I guess this ought to be closed ... it's really very clear that base DOES
allow the usual "make && sudo make install", and the problem here is simply
that gnustep-make has not been installed for general use.
gnustep-base (and all other gnustep libraries and applications) depend on
gnustep-make being installed, and in this respect are no different from any
other software package ... if something the package depends on is not
installed, the package won't build.
Also like most other packages, if the dependency is installed but in the
wrong place so it can't be found, we have a mechanism (setting the environment
variable) to tell it where the thing is.
I note the phrase 'Ubuntu comes with a gnustep-make package'
This presumably means that the gnustep-make supplied with ubuntu does not
install itsself properly (or perhaps is a really old version) so that
gnustep-config is not found in the standard PATH. Perhaps a note to the
maintainers of the package would be effective in getting that fixed?
