I am going to answer several mails at once, sorted by topic
Anfang der weitergeleiteten E-Mail:
Von: Truls Becken <[email protected]>
I could be wrong, but isn't this just ./configure; make; make install
in each of -make, -base, -gui, and -back, plus making sure to source
GNUstep.sh and to start gdomap on boot?
Try sudo -E
Thanks Truls for this hint, that solved it (you see, I'm not a
command line hero)
Von: Wolfgang Lux <[email protected]>
In my experience, the best choice for installing GNUstep from
source is to start with gnustep-startup and use its ./
InstallGNUstep script.
Von: "Riccardo Mottola" <[email protected]>
Apart from that, if you have debian get all the dependencies for
you and then install your apps(without overwriting the existing
apps, but installing "from scratch" starting from core) it is
veryeasy: ./configure && make install works for whole core. I do it
all the time. It works for me on gentoo, debian, netbsd, openbsd,
freebsd and (partly, using stuff from sunfreeware) on solaris. YOu
can isntall in the system domain or in the local domain: it will
work both ways.
Von: David Chisnall <[email protected]>
This makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong. To install
GNUstep on FreeBSD, I do this:
1) Install the gnustep-make port.
2) svn co the three core modules.
3) gmake each and gmake install as root.
4) Profit!!
Am I missing out on some vital bits of understanding? Is it more
difficult if you use the FHS layout (but why would you do that?)
Von: Nicola Pero <[email protected]>
I think this is the reason you got into trouble - you had already
an installation of GNUstep on your machine - from your distribution
-, and were trying
to overwrite it with a new installation - from source. That is
reasonably easy once you know how things work
"internally" (filesystem layouts etc),
but it could definitely be confusing if it's your first
installation ;-)
The standard and easy way to get this working under GNU/Linux is to
add
. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
to your /etc/profile.
Von: David Chisnall <[email protected]>
I believe that a number of Linux distributions now include
something like this in /etc/profile:
for I in /etc/profile.d/*
do
source $I
done
On these systems, it would be nice to install (or symlink)
GNUstep.sh in /etc/profile.d.
Thanks David, this is actually the case on Ubuntu too, and I did
exactly as you proposed now (remove the sourcing from /etc/
bash.bashrc and symlink GNUstep.sh in /etc/profile.d)
Thanks to everybody for all the tips, maybe I wasn't clear enough in
my first mail (or I mixed up simply installing GNUstep with what I
did): I wanted to update the existing GNUstep installation (e.g. what
I installed with Synaptic). Nicola was right on the money with what
he said: I first had to figure out where all the GNUstep stuff was
gone in the sort of FHS layout Ubuntu uses (everything is smeared all
over the place this way - did I mention I hate FHS?) and then find a
way to pull the right strings and push the right switches to make
everything end up in the place it should. This is - well - a special
situation, not exactly what a beginner should face (but then again I
often hear the advice to "install from SVN" here on the list when
something doesn't work. So "updating an existing GNUstep installation
from SVN" is maybe not so unusual). I also found out that without
copying core/make/installation-domais.conf to /etc/GNUstep/ and
editing it several things end up in /local/ subdirectories when doing
a ./configure --with-layout=fhs-system in gnustep-make thus not
overwriting the existing installation.
My idea here: have an simple option (for configure of gnustep-make?)
that triggers an update of an existing installation exactly as it was
before. Is something like this doable and realistic?
regards,
Lars
P.S.: I have attached an (revised) list of commands I used to update
my GNUstep installation on Ubuntu
mkdir GNUstep-update
cd GNUstep-update/
svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules
cd modules
# I want to install in System to replace what came with Ubuntu
sudo cp core/make/installation-domais.conf /etc/GNUstep/
sudo vi /etc/GNUstep/installation-domais.conf
# add renaissance, gdl2 in above file
cd core/make/
./configure --with-layout=fhs-system
make
sudo make install
# symlink GNUstep.sh into /etc/profile.d/ so it gets sourced for every user
sudo ln -s /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh /etc/profile.d/GNUstep.sh
cd ../base/
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ../gui/
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ../back/
./configure --enable-graphics=art --with-name=art
make
sudo make install
defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend libgnustep-art
cd ../../dev-libs/renaissance/
sudo -E make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM install
cd ../../dev-apps/gorm/
make
sudo -E make install
cd ../../dev-libs/gdl2/
./configure
make
sudo make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM install
cd ../../dev-apps/projectcenter/
sudo -E make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM install
# now try if everything works
cd ~
openapp Gorm
openapp DBModeler
openapp ProjectCenter
