Hi Marco, 1. the info files are installed in the path that you decide when you choose the filesystem layout when you configure gnustep-make. ;-)
Check the filesystem layouts inside core/make/FilesystemLayouts/ (you are looking for the keys 'GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_DOC_INFO', 'GNUSTEP_LOCAL_DOC_INFO', etc). As you see every layout installs the info files in a different place. :-) If you're unhappy with the standard filesystem layouts, you can create your own! :-) Eg, you can take the 'gnustep' one, edit the line GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_DOC_INFO / GNUSTEP_LOCAL_DOC_INFO / etc to install your System/Local/etc info files somewhere else. Then rename it to 'marco' or something like that, and configure gnustep-make with ./configure --with-layout=marco and you're done. :-) 2. If you're using the standard GNUstep filesystem layout and you want the info files installed into /System/Library/Documentation/info to appear in your info/emacs readers, you should add these paths to INFOPATH. If you source GNUstep.sh, that will do it for you :-) 3. Check what is done when you install the info files by doing make install messages=yes if you find the commands are unsatisfactory, we can change them. The commands arrive from core/make/Instance/Documentation/texi.make. Feel free to experiment with changing them and submit a patch! :-) Yes, it would be very good to organize the gnustep info files in some nice way so you can browse them nicely inside Emacs. Feel free to suggest how to do that - I'll try to help you make the appropriate changes to gnustep-make to support your solution. 4. I'm not sure why the documentation is not installed automatically. It might be because it's not built automatically ? The texinfo documentation (eg, in gnustep-make) requires texinfo to generate, and some people don't have it installed, which is why it's not always regenerated. One solution might be to include pre-generated documentation with all packages ? I think gnustep-make partially does this, but we could extend it.

Why , Documentation in core packages (make|base|gui|back) , is not installed automatically ?? And, why the infos documentation also running 'make install' in Documentation die of each packages, install the man|html|infos in dir under System domain but for the infos don't install-info in /usr/share/info/ dir or other Directory info file ??? In Unix is enough standard dir info location ... (/usr/share/info or /usr/info ... or for unprivileged /usr/local ...) My is only the question ... i could make a script that run install-info on files .info under Documentation dir ... but is better integrate in GNUmakefile in Doc dirs ... or also in documentation.make. Would be fantastic a menu : GNUstep * GNUstepBase * .... In info Emacs (C-h i) ...
