It would be nice instead for the author of the bundle to be able to control if gnustep-gui should be used when linking or not; ie, if it's a "GUI bundle"
or a "non-GUI bundle". :-)

Maybe a gnustep-make variable to switch from GUI bundles to non-GUI ones ?

Something like

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make

BUNDLE_NAME = MyBundle
...
MyBundle_NEEDS_GUI = NO
...

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/bundle.make

that would be recognized (only by new versions of gnustep) to mean that gnustep-gui should not be linked in even
if available/installed.

If the variable is omitted, gnustep-gui would be linked in by default (if available), as it happens now.

Comments on the idea are welcome ;-)

I think you should consider deprecating the automatic inclusion of gui.make by:

- moving the current gui.make from Additional to Auxiliary
- having a new gui.make in Additional use the technique above to insure backward compatibility for at least the next release
- yet emit a warning that automatic inclusion is deprecated.

I think projects like ProjectCenter and ProjectManager should be able to include the correct -make file fragments based on their project type.

Cheers,
David
