I should probably update Startup to work better with MacPorts.  Right  
now it's a bit tricky.  You could just do something like

CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib ./InstallGNUstep

however, when you compile with Apple CC, it links in Apple frameworks  
via tiff and jpeg, which conflict with the GNUstep frameworks. So  
while it will compile this way, it won't run.  The only two real  
options are:

- compile tiff and jpeg on your own and install in /usr/local (making  
sure it doesn't use or link with anything from MacPorts).

- Don't use Apple CC (for instance, you could use gcc from MacPorts,  
then you could use tiff and jpeg from MacPorts as well), e.g. CC=/opt/ 
local/bin/gcc ./InstallGNUstep
