There is no GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS variable to use... am I missing
something?
Yes, Nicola was presumably talking about running gdomap from within a
makefile ... the variables should all be available within the
makefile, as they are really for installation and for location of
resources.
Outside a makefile, you should just be able to type 'gdomap' since the
tools should be in your PATH.
There is no way from the variables set by GNUstep.sh to know where
the
GNUstep.conf file is, so that won't help too. So the question is:
When I have a cleanly booted system, where GNUstep is installed in
/usr/GNUstep is there a way to figure out how to set everything up. I
could
just make every user set his or her GNUstep.conf in the script, but
the
current scripts are without human intervention when you install in
the
default directory.
The idea is that you shouldn't need to do a setup if things are
installed 'native', and if they are installed in the standard GNUsterp
layout, all you need to know is the location of GNUstep.sh
Using GNUstep.sh will set up your PATH (and LD_LIBRARY_PATH), so you
don't need anything else unless you are wanting to build and install
software ... in which case you are supposed to use makefiles ... and
the makefiles will have everything else set up.
If you really want variables outside of the make system, you can use
gnustep-config to return them (the 'gnustep-config' script is found in
your path)
eg. 'gnustep-config --variable=GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS'
Think I need to sleep on this one, to see how to solve it. Any good
ideas are
highly appreciated.

In fact, what about just doing 'gdomap' ? If you source GNUstep.sh,
gdomap
will be in your PATH so there is nothing to do (unless you are
trying to
avoid conflicting with an existing 'gdomap' on the system ?). :-)
Anyhow, I'm including here the entire 'RELEASENOTES' file from
gnustep-make
v2.0.
Have a look and see if it helps you. Remember that even if you are
using
and
recommending the gnustep-layout (which is a very nice layout!) we're
trying
to
move everyone to the situation where the same software/scripts/etc.
will
work
on all types of layout that GNUstep supports. So it's important to
update
to
use the new variables ;-)
Thanks
