Gregory,

can you provide a practical example of what you are trying to do that you can't do with the current setup ?

--

With regard to your second point, as discussed many times, if GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS is not in the PATH, then the GNUstep installation is simply unusable. The fact that gnustep-config is not found is the least of your problems - nothing belonging to GNUstep will ever be found. Do we want to move gnustep-config into /usr/bin/ to make sure it is found ? In which case, what about all the other tools in GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS (eg, gdomap, gdnc, tools to create service plists, to merge them, applications, etc) ? Shouldn't we move them into /usr/bin/ too to make sure they are found too ?

If adding GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS to the PATH is too burdensome for end-users, we should make FHS the default layout. :-)

If you install stuff using the GNUstep layout, you'll have to add GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS to the PATH for things to work. There's nothing we can do about that.

Thanks

This script should be generated so that it can be used without the presence of GNUstep make on the system. Also it should be put in the standard place, so that it can be located. Putting it in $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM/Tools seems a bit self-referential in nature.
