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?
Not by default as it would be too confusing for new users.
Maybe we could add a switch to gnustep-make to tell it to save the
prefix/layout for next time. Something like
./configure --prefix=/ --enable-debug-by-default --with-layout=gnustep
--enable-remember-layout
that would store the prefix/layout in some config file in /etc/
GNUstep/ and next time your run configure
it would then use it.
Thanks
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.
