[bug #12749] Fonts should be installed in GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR

[Armando Di Cianno]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #12749 (project gnustep):

Just commenting a little on this bug...

Issues like this one has caused a general nightmare for my Gentoo ebuilds
(now mostly solved).  The problem is almost the same -- we have a sandbox,
and then GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is hardcoded in the build somewhere, and then
everything goes to hell.

Generally, this can likely be solved with simply using
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR everywhere, and also adding a line like

GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR ?= $(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT)

to the GNUmakefile.  Since ?= only executes if the 'target' is empty
(right?), this works for packagers, and source compile users, too.

Anyways, just trying to raise awareness of this, since that's all this
reoccuring problem seems to be.
