My recommended upgrade path is: * remove GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR from the makefiles. The makefiles should not try to force any installation dir, but let the packager/builder decide where they want to install :-)
* use GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR on the command line instead (ie, make install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR=/opt/gnustep/System) ;-) * once the new gnustep-make release is out, switch to using GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN on the command line (ie, make install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM). This should work fine with the new (forthcoming) native FHS support :-) Thanks PS: The new option is GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN = SYSTEM (valid values are SYSTEM, LOCAL, NETWORK and USER). :-) You can use this option in GNUmakefiles, but I still would recommend that you don't hardcode it in GNUmakefiles, and let the packager/builder set it on the command-line instead. So the result is that all software by default installs into LOCAL, but you can install it somewhere else by giving the option make install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM on the command line. GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR on the command-line will keep working, but will not make much sense on native (eg, Unix FHS) filesystems. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: "Stefan Bidigaray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 5:03 pm To: Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Remove GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR from GNUmakefiles Just wondering what we'll be using to redirect where the files end up? I guess I suggested DESTDIR on the previous discussion, but just wondering where are we moving to!
