Perhaps you missed > reading one or two of my emails (or perhaps I missed one of yours)? I'm very well capable of reading your emails and did so, but none of them gave a satisfying answer. This prerequisite you talk about is a showstopper in some environments and does not solve the problem. If having showstoppers is the intention, I feel sorry for GNUstep. >> Documentation/GNUmakefile line 37ff attempts to go such a route >> without packaging, but it's buggy and/or incomplete.

It could, because at this point -make is actually configured, so the installation location and layout is defined. But it ignores each of --prefix, --with-layout and DESTDIR. That's what I'm talking about and that's what the shell snippets demonstrate. >> I have another ~15 bugs similar to this one stacked. > > Well, [...] Please scratch that. Very apparently it's much easier to fix the bug than to explain somebody with commit privileges that the bug is actually a bug, so I'll do this next time (and keep the patch in the packaging patch stack).
