I believe by "flattened" he was referring to not having the /usr/GNUstep and ~/GNUstep directories around. The solution you mention will address the former, but not the latter as the user directory for GNUstep will still be there, I'm afraid.

Hi,

Could anyone comment on the GNUstep filesystem layout. How the layout is different from platform to platform, how to change the default layout, and how to detect the layout in code. Furthermore is there a more 'flat' (MacOSX-eqsue) layout that can be easily chosen instead of having all those /GNUstep directories all over the place (as I have experienced with some distributions)?
GNUstep already install s "flattened" by default. Disable the terrible FHS layout (--with-layout=gnustep something which should have remained our default) and you essentially have a quite traditional layout. You may want then to do --prefix=/ and that is my standard configuration. Everything goes into /System and /Local (and/or /Network) except the /etc/GNUstep configuration which you can leave there or separately configure. prefix just adds a /usr/GNUstep which can be useful to put into /usr/local or /opt
