Indeed you did. The problem is *not* an issue of the configure

OS whenever you start an application or tool. (You would have
noticed yourself if you had added a GNUSTEP_FILESYSTEM_LAYOUT_FILE
to your own GNUstep.conf). The function ExtractValuesFromConfig in
NSPathUtilities contains a sanity check, which reports any
nonstandard variable that is set in one of the configuration files
(and not listed in the GNUSTEP_EXTRA variable).
A quick workaround to get rid of the message is to add the line
GNUSTEP_EXTRA=GNUSTEP_FILESYSTEM_LAYOUT_FILE
to ~/.GNUstep.conf and the real fix is to add a line to discard the
GNUSTEP_FILESYSTEM_LAYOUT_FILE variable from the configuration
dictionary in ExtractValuesFromConfig.

PS Can you please revert the change to make the apple layout the
default on Darwin systems when using the gnu-gnu-gnu combo. On OS X
systems this configuration is supposed to coexist with the existing
Cocoa environment and the apple-apple-apple combo, so these should
clearly use separate layouts. I also guess that the problem of
fresh users attempting to install GNUstep from source on OS X is
not an issue here, since it won't work anyway unless you are really
experienced :-).
Thanks ... I've reverted a whole load of the changes.
NB. The net result is that temporarily you need to specify --with-
layout=gnustep to get the gnustep layout ... until we can work out a
good mechanism for setting a preference for the layout to use.
Shouldn't gnustep-make reuse the existing layout when there is already
a GNUstep install?
If I do
./configure --prefix=/ --enable-debug-by-default --with-layout=gnustep
&& make && sudo -E make install
then
./configure --prefix=/ --enable-debug-by-default && make && sudo -E
make install
The second time, gnustep-make ignores my previous install and just
reverts to the fhs layout.
I think it shouldn't switch the layout unless it's explicitly
requested, and each time the layout is changed, a warning should be
displayed at the end of the configuration to make things truly clear.
Otherwise you can get weird results where some programs stop to
compile because gnustep-make still picks the old headers of the
previous GNUstep install. This happened to me when I update my working
copy, because I usually don't source GNUstep.sh when I reinstall
gnustep-make unless I make a new install in another location.
Cheers,
Quentin.
