If you configure GNUstep using the FHS layout on *BSD, it puts
stuff in completely the wrong place (it puts GNUstep.conf in the
wrong place with any configuration, unfortunately).
For example ? (ignoring GNUstep.conf which we agree it's wrong on
FHS as well)
Unless you explicitly set the prefix, it doesn't put things under /
usr/local (or didn't, last time I accidentally used FHS mode), it
put things in /usr, which is reserved for stuff in the base system
that is not required to boot single-user mode. I didn't look much
beyond that.
That is no different than what FHS/Linux expect. And it should work ;-)
--with-layout=fhs (the default that we are probably switching to)
should use /usr/local/
--with-layout-fhs-system (reserved for distribution packagers) should
use /usr/
Of course, if it didn't work for you it sounds like there may be a bug
- it's worth testing all of this again if it's going to be the
default! ;-)
By the way, there is a relatively simple way of using the GNUstep
layout in FHS-compliant mode: install in /opt/GNUstep. FHS
explicitly allows installing add-on software in /opt/{package
name}/. Of course, many FHS-compliant Linux distros don't allocated
adequate space for /opt, or don't create it at all, so this doesn't
actually work...
Yep
Thanks
