Hmm ... I think everything refers you to the GNUstep-HOWTO, and the 
detail
is all in there.

Perhaps all the other files should have their entire content replaced 
by an
instruction to read the GNUstep-HOWTO, rather than just saying you 
should
read it amidst other information ... that would avoid confusion.

Anyway, you need to do
'. /usr/GNUstep/System/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh'
(or an alternative path to where the gnustep make package was installed,
if you put it in a non-standard location) before doing *anything* 
beyond the
install of the make package.
