I think you mean something like
http://www.gnustep.it/enrico/gworkspace/ . However, your mileage may

There are installer specific shell scripts. The complete contents of
that installer directory are, you guessed it, installer specific. This
might also be the right time to warn you that this installer is
targeted towards GNUstep developers, not users.
