Hello everyone,
unless someone objects, I'd like to check this in soon.
It adds support to pass -F <standard GNUstep framework directories> on
platforms/compilers which support it (ie Apple).
Is there any advantage in doing so ? The standard Apple framework
directories are scanned anyway without the need to pass -F.
Ah, but GNUstep isn't necessarily configured to install into the
standard Apple framework directories. In fact by default I think it
also uses the /usr/GNUstep prefix. (In my case it's even configured to
~/GNUstep as this is not my machine I'm testing with. :-) )
Are you talking of gnu-gnu-gnu or apple-apple-apple ?
If you're using apple-apple-apple, you just want to use gnustep-make to
compile your stuff into Apple native frameworks/bundles/apps, then you
want to drop those into the Apple native framework/bundle/app directories,
like everything else. At least, this is how I'd imagine it, then
everything works out of the box and you got stuff you can use and
distribute as native Apple stuff.
Btw, I suppose you also need to set some sort of library path for
frameworks, otherwise the frameworks might be found at link time if you
add the -F flags, but won't be found at runtime because the frameworks are
in some obscure gnustep directory.
