Hey everybody, I got everything running now. Again, I am running Debian Etch on x86. Here's how:
I changed setup.sh so that line 107 reads bundledir="$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Bundles" instead of bundledir="$GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT/Library/Bundles" This is so setup.sh performs the 'defaults write . . .' for the bundles correctly, as Camaelon.themeEngine, EtoileWildMenus.bundle, and EtoileBehavior.bundle are installed in $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT and not $GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT. This corrects the problem named in the last section of my last emails, that etoile_system couldn't load "3 user defined AppKit Bundles." WildMenus and the Nesedah theme are functional even running GNUstep apps outside of the Etoile environment (which is as it should be once these bundles are defined). I ran ./setup.sh and chose option 1, the sudo option, so that things would be set up system wide and the defaults written for user 'james' and not for 'root.' Also, I ran 'sudo chmod 644 /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Etoile/SystemTaskList.plist' to make it so regular users can read that file and so root can still write it. Earlier the permissions were to set to 600 (-rw-------), read and write for root only, making etoile_system fail, as it did not have a readable SystemTaskList.plist. I did have to run 'make install' as root (see next paragraph), so that might explain the permissions problems. I don't know what would happen if 'sudo make install' would run. I am still mystified as to the behavior of sudo. I have to run 'make install' logged in as root, otherwise this happens: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Etoile-0.2$ sudo make install GNUmakefile:1: /common.make: No such file or directory GNUmakefile:82: /aggregate.make: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/aggregate.make'. Stop. This tells me that the environment variables which are set by sourcing GNUstep.sh are being forgotten somehow by sudo. Alright, that's all I've got right now. Thanks for your time in helping me out and in writing this software. I hope I can be of some help by reporting my troubles and problems with it.
