[bug #29368] gnustep-config should work independently of gnustep-make...

[Nicola Pero]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #29368 (project gnustep):

Gregory,

can you provide a practical example of what you are trying to do that you
can't do with the current setup ?

--

With regard to your second point, as discussed many times, if
GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS is not in the PATH, then the GNUstep installation is
simply unusable.  The fact that gnustep-config is not found is the least of
your problems - nothing belonging to GNUstep will ever be found.  Do we want
to move gnustep-config into /usr/bin/ to make sure it is found ?  In which
case, what about all the other tools in GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS (eg, gdomap,
gdnc, tools to create service plists, to merge them, applications, etc) ? 
Shouldn't we move them into /usr/bin/ too to make sure they are found too ?

If adding GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS to the PATH is too burdensome for end-users,
we should make FHS the default layout. :-)

If you install stuff using the GNUstep layout, you'll have to add
GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS to the PATH for things to work.  There's nothing we can
do about that.

Thanks
