if the user wishes to continue the build without certain components. I
think let them take care of their system and just let gnustep build
script only worry about telling the users what it needs to build the
environment, at least for now.
I've been toying around with this install script, although I'm not
really sure what should become of it. Basically, I want it to install a
bare-bones system that would just allow you to start up some graphical
installation package which could be more sophisticated.
You could think of it as a super compile-all script, which does an
automatic configuration check and prints out a report telling you if
GNUstep will work on your system. Then it builds and installs GNUstep
for you (after you have corrected any problems).
Currently the configuration is out-of-date so it doesn't check all
dependancies, and it depends on having actual tar.gz files in the
../sources directory (see the
ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/iso/gnustep-Aug03.iso.gz for the
complete setup). But you can try to run it and see how it works.
