OK, I shall follow your advice.

I created the GNUmakefile.postamble and put there these lines above.

I put the line:
include GNUmakefile.postamble

after the line
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/application.make

in GNUmakefile.

So when I compile this application with 'make' I get executables in the
obj/ directory of the application's project directory.

But when I do 'sudo make install' I get messages:

GNUmakefile:1: /common.make: No such file or directory
GNUmakefile:76: /application.make: No such file or directory
GNUmakefile:79: /ctool.make: No such file or directory
GNUmakefile:81: /Master/nsis.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/Master/nsis.make'.  Stop.

What is wrong now with GNUmakefile?

Sorry for my trivial questions, but I try really to learn Objective-C
reading the GNUstep documentations, but without advices I can't do my
best.

Any advices will be appreciated!

P.S.: One can get sources of this application with command:
cvs -z3 \
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/lpt-interface \ 
co lpt-interface
