Hi, I have recently upgraded my Fedora Workstation to version 27. I've been trying out the GNUStep Window Maker desktop and "want more". I am aware of the GWorkspace "add-on" that needs to be compiled (why isn't there a ready made Binary for Fedora!?).
In searching various web forums, including the Google Group for GNUStep, I found that there is no Binary pkg. for GWorkspace and that I do indeed have to Compile this thing myself. So in reading the Gworkspace Download page at: http://wwwmain.gnustep.org/experience/GWorkspace.html <http://wwwmain.gnustep.org/experience/GWorkspace.html> Which says to: To enable all the GWorkspace features you need also: The PDFKit framework (version >= 0.9) downloadable here. PDFKit is needed to build the pdf contents inspector and to extract metadata from pdf files. So I download PDFKit too and go into that directory, type: ./configure Then I get an error message saying: configure: error: You must run the GNUstep initialization script first! OK, so I find out what to do to run the GNUstep initialization script. The instructions are WRONG. The correct path to the script is: /usr/lib64/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh Have to run this as root or it won't do anything or will complain. Run script. Go back to try to run ./configure for PDFKit and I get the same run GNUStep init script error message again. This is so frustrating. I am not a programmer. I don't compile things. This is not the early days of Linux in the 90s anymore. Why can't we have a ready made RPM install file for GWorkplace so that we can get on with our life?
