Well, I'm testing the install right now! Pretty much what I did was
get gnustep-startup-0.16.0 and gave it some options. I decided to use
/usr/GNUstep as the root and will put symlinks on / (ie: /System ->
/usr/GNUstep/System, etc). I looked through the ./InstallGNUstep
script for some hints on how I could use gnustep-startup to send the
files where I wanted. The script is fairly complicated and uses some
options that are not shown on --help (like --install-root). I had to
spend a few hours last night going through it and still don't
understand a few parts, like where is the gs_build_package (to name a
few) program that is run from inside the script.
Look in the scripts directory.
I did intend to put enough options in so that you could make a
distribution with Startup, but it's something I've never tested myself.
The --install-root help was probably commented out because I was
waiting until I could test it. If you do get a solution, please let me
know, so I can update the InstallGNUstep script. My intention for
making a distribution was something like:
./InstallGNUstep --install-root=/tmp/gnustep-core
These were the steps I took (I'm installing it to /tmp/gnustep-core):
export GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR=/tmp/gnustep-core
DESTDIR=/tmp/gnustep-core
./InstallGNUstep
DESTDIR doesn't work with the current version of gnustep-make and
startup and GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR should be
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR=/tmp/gnustep-core/usr/GNUstep/System
using --install-root to InstallGNUstep should do this correctly. You
could try doing this from the SVN version of gnustep-make and startup
(but startup is not updated for the recent changes in gnustep-make).
