Note the use of 'sudo' ... I expect the error message is entirely correct, and the environment variable is not set in the environment you are using. The check you did to see if it is set did not use 'sudo', so is not a valid test.

This is Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Check out from SVN:

svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/core/

2. Install make ...

3. Source GNUstep.sh:

. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

4. Configure and build base:

cd base
./configure
make

Expected result:

Base is ready for installation now.

Actual result:

Base refuses to install:

mah@piccard:~/GNUstepDevelopment/core/base$ sudo make installGNUmakefile:31: *** You need to set GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES before compiling!. Schluss.
mah@piccard:~/GNUstepDevelopment/core/base$ . /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
mah@piccard:~/GNUstepDevelopment/core/base$ sudo make installGNUmakefile:31: *** You need to set GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES before compiling!. Schluss.

Investigation:

GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES is set properly:

mah@piccard:~/GNUstepDevelopment/core/base$ echo $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES
/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles
mah@piccard:~/GNUstepDevelopment/core/base$ sudo echo $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES
/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles
