Maybe I'm entirely off-track, but I suppose whats being talked about
is
resource or bundle lookup :-) Which of course should also work in
FHS
settings. (ie Gorm should ideally work in plain FHS, no?)
In OGo/SOPE we explicitly support both variants. If the GNUstep
environment
is sourced, we look in "GNUstep style pathes". If such a lookup
fails (or if
no environment is sourced), we continue searching in FHS locations
(currently we hardcode /usr/local/ and /usr/, which obviously should
be
configurable using configure ...).
Eg, a bundle "ABC.bundle" with resources a.gif/b.gif in GNUstep setup:
(pathprefixlist) + Library
/Bundles/ABC.bundle
ABC
/Resources
/a.gif
/b.gif
In FHS:
(pathprefixlist: /usr, /usr/local):
/lib
/abc-1.2.so
/share
/abc-1.2
/a.gif
/b.gif
Something like that ;-) Frameworks/bundles need to be "debundled" for
FHS.
Of course this can be done transparently in the NSBundle class.
(though a
separate class has the advantage that you can do FHS in combination
with
Cocoa).
Well, sort of, though admittedly i'd attempted to avoid file system
discussions :D
I was just trying to get rid of GNUstep.sh or any setup required
before running make
and left it at that.
but admittedly, the patch i posted would work best if things installed
by default into
/usr/{,local}/bin for Tools/ and /usr/{,local}/lib (configurable of
course)
in that case you could just make; make install; run stuff
and if you really want something like a self contained installation,
or installation into somewhere like ~,
or multiple installations, you can but may have to to fiddle with
environment variables, configure flags and stuff.
the other part of this thread relates to just setting
GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES instead of sourcing GNUstep.sh
where i had some concerns about being able to run AC_CHECK_LIB from
configure files.
