Hello @list,
has anyone tried to bend the settings of GNUSTEP_XXX_ROOT such that
the GNUstep folders reflect the folder structure of OS X?
That is, for example instead of .../Local/Applications/ and
.../System/Applications/ just have ONE .../Applications/ (one
.../Library/ and so on).
No, but since the OS X structure has its own domains (/System, /,
user's home), the most natural mapping might not be to set
everything the same. In fact, taking OS X '/' to be GNUstep LOCAL,
the main differences I can see are that GNUstep has System/
Applications, which OS X doesn't, and OS X has an additional '/
Developer' domain where all the dev stuff goes. (And of course
Foundation and AppKit are frameworks on OS X..)
The GNUstep one seems to be [roughly] based on the NeXTSTEP hierarchy:
NeXT/early Rhap Apple (OSX v.1+) GNU
/NextApps /Applications System/Applications
/LocalApps /Network/Applications Local/Applications
However, NeXT then had /NextDeveloper, /NextAdmin, /LocalAdmin and so
on...I think of the lot of them GNUstep seems to actually have quite
a sensible setup, although who decided that a particular application
(Terminal.app say, or ProjectCenter.app) is a System or a Local
application? I suppose it's up to the package maintainer on the
particular OS (e.g. SimplyGnustep)...
Cheers,
Graham.
