I develop on FreeBSD, NetBSD and Gentoo/Linux. On all systems I used 
packages to get dependencies, but installed GNUstep Core, dev-apps and 
user-apps from source, The same goes for GAP. I need that to test the 
work, being a developer. FreeBSD and Linux work quite fine,NetBSD too, 
except the GNUMail application.

I have a Debian installation to check my apps against debian release, 
but currently it is hopeless, the gui package is very out of date, 
they track only stable releaes. The latest release of GNUstep gui 
should improve yuou printing quite a bit. At least, I can print RTFs 
fine.
