> 2) Move user_home into gnustep-base. This is not possible because some users use gnustep-make on Apple to compile pure Apple stuff (as an example, there are other important cases where we need this, eg OGo/libFoundation).
Just to be more clear -- Eg, you take the source code of your GNUstep (Linux) ObjC server, copy it on a Mac OS X machine, install gnustep-make on Mac OS X, and you can immediately compile and run the ObjC server on Mac OS X using Apple's FoundationKit. Modulo some API differences, this process does really work and is a great asset for GNUstep. :-) At the moment I imagine the user configuration stuff doesn't work much anywhere, but if we fix it and have it work, we obviously want to have it work anywhere, including Apple. Eg, if you play with your framework and want to install it in your user directory (rather than a system one) while you are testing and messing with it, you should be able to. And it should be possible to do that on Apple too, no reason why not. So, gnustep-make needs to be able to indipendently determine the right paths. My feeling is that the best solution is have GNUstep.conf used in a very simple and predictable way by both gnustep-base and gnustep-make.
