Last time when I installed Gnustep on my Raspberry I used gnustep-build <https://github.com/plaurent/gnustep-build>from Patryk Laurent. I had some trouble as a Mac-User and LINUX novice to find out what is necessary as the installation didn´t run complete.
First: It stopped due to missing libs -> /etc/apt/sources.list multimedia repositories necessary (for Debian). Maybe it would possible (useful) to test the entries in the list per script? Second: The path of installation. Is it possible to link to the /usr/local when the installation is in /usr/GNUstep per script automatically? It would have the effect that all apps from the „normal“ Debian xfce or Gnome Surface are also in the App-Menue in the Window Manager and normal LINUX user wouldn´t have the feeling that everything is totally strange ….. This guy who was the the reason for this talk would drive a car via vi and Terminal if such a would exists and never arrive elsewhere… :-) > Am 18.10.2023 um 16:42 schrieb Daniel Boyd <[email protected]>: > > Right—your packages install into /usr/local instead of /usr/GNUstep, right? > > I kind of like the /usr/GNUstep setup, but I could also see the Debian people > preferring the other.
