For me the command:

sudo make GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/usr/GNUstep/System\
/Library/Makefiles install

works.

Thanks!

Now I have tested the GNUstep Build with:

 $ cd modules/tests/testsuite/
 $ ./runtests.sh base

--- Running tests in base ---

base/NSCalendarDate/test01.m:
FAIL: +dateWithString:calendarFormat: works if no time zone is
specified
FAIL: -addTimeInterval: works on a NSCalendarDate parsed with no
timezone

    255 COMPLETED
      2 FAIL
   5070 PASS

-----------------*

and run an example application:

 $ cd modules/usr-apps/examples/gui/Calculator
 $ make
 $ openapp Calculator.app

successfully!

I have now installed ProjectCenter and when I run it from bash shell
(urxvt) with command:

ProjectCenter

then I get:

2009-07-06 10:35:16.730 ProjectCenter[7897] Font not found Courier
2009-07-06 10:35:16.733 ProjectCenter[7897] The font specified for
NSUserFixedPitchFont, Courier, can't be found.
2009-07-06 10:35:16.764 ProjectCenter[7897] Font not found Courier
2009-07-06 10:35:16.764 ProjectCenter[7897] The font specified for
NSUserFixedPitchFont, Courier, can't be found.


How can I install Fonts for ProjectCenter?

I can run ProjectCenter only from bash shell (I'm using urxvt) but I
tried to use in Window Maker the WPrefs to setup the Menu of the
runnable Applications without success.  I get an error message:

Could not execute command: exec ProjectCenter

when I try to use my Menu.

Why this happen?

In ProjectCenter when I Opened an existing Project, and navigate to

Interfaces/applicationname.gorm

then I try to open it with double mouse click but Gorm wan't
start. Why?

I can see in urxvt (xterm):

2009-07-06 11:06:39.369 ProjectCenter[7924] category: Interfaces
forProject: lptinterface
2009-07-06 11:06:39.370 ProjectCenter[7924] Opening new
