Hi,
I'm a total newbie in GNUstep and of course, Etoile. I have programmed
before in Objective-C...
anyway... I wanted to test Etoile, but I couldn't find a
install/compile guide, I've downloaded the sources from the cvs, but
I'm stucked now...
What are the steps to build at least camaleon?

Hi Rolando,

Well, I have to write this much needed install guide but I haven't yet :-).

Basically to build and install the whole repository (but developers related stuff is not included in such build), you just do usually in the root directory called Etoile:
make
make install
which is in fact translated into:
make etoile=yes
make etoile=yes install

To build only a specific module, you can follow 'make' command with its name in lowercase as an option with the 'yes' value. For example:
make camaelon=yes
make camaelon=yes install

Each time you have added at least one option (except for 'test' option), then 'make' isn't translated into 'make etoile=yes', which means only camaelon is build in our last example.

You can put several options together like:
make camaelon=yes lucenekit=yes

You can have a more fine grained control by using special options which represent custom module sets. Here are module sets actually defined:
desktop-base --> camaelon, bookmarkkit, iconkit, preferenceskit
user-base --> installer (for now that's all)
developer-base --> unitkit, unittests, examples
etoile-extensions --> lucenekit, extendedworkspacekit, trackerkit, servicesbarkit, servicesbar

Here is 'etoile' option semantic which is a bit special:
etoile=yes --> desktop-base, user-base, etoile-extensions, workspace
etoile=no --> desktop-base, developer-base // everything which is not bound to Étoilé itself

Finally you can combine these module sets with previous specific module options like: make developer-base=yes camaelon=yes // build developer-base and camaelon make desktop-base=no camaelon=yes // build user-base, etoile- extensions, workspace and camaelon (but not other desktop-base stuff)
make etoile=no etoile-extensions=yes extendedworkspacekit=no

'make' command is possible to use with any avaiblable options in every project directories.

You can also build test bundles for any specified modules by adding an option 'test=yes', in future you should be able to run every test bundles with 'make check' but this not not implemented currently.

Quentin.
