Thanks Martin.

It works for me.  The tool binary is installed into

 /usr/GNUstep/Local/Tools

and the tool's resource bundle is installed into

 /usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Tools/Resources/

Try 'make install messages=yes' to see where it is being installed.   
Is it being installed at all ?

If it's being installed as in my case, while the location might seem  
difficult to find at runtime, it's actually very easy to find - just  
call [NSBundle mainBundle] inside your tool.

Yes, you could use xxx_NEEDS_GUI = NO. :-)

You could produce an sdlgame.make, but it's probably more work than  
it's worth.

Thanks
