If you need to source GNUstep.sh before starting a tool, why not using the
following shell script -
#! /bin/sh
. /opt/gnustep/System/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
mytool "$@"
just save this as /usr/bin/mytool and then you can execute mytool from the
command line perfectly well - without having to set up anything in
advance, not even the PATH.
That looks perfect for the usual case. Maybe one should write a tool
which runs in the rpm-postinstall section which collects the Tools in
GNUstep and autocreates the wrappers in /usr/local ?
If you don't want to set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH, please consider adding your
gnustep paths (system/local/network) to /etc/ld.so.conf, and running
ldconfig (but you need to do it after installing each library). It's not
forbidden :-) it's actually recommended if you don't have multiple
library-combos.
Well, I have multiple library combos ;-) I'm also not talking about
setup of my environment but rather about the deployment for
non-developer people ! Further I would like to find a way to use the
GNUstep environment on MacOSX without the need to call any weird MacOSX
config files.
Maybe we talk about that at Fosdem ;-)
BTW: how am I supposed to configure for a different library combo, is
"./GNUstep.sh gnu-fd-nil" and "./GNUstep.sh gnu-gnu-nil" supposed to work ?
[I'm going to try out gstep-base once more ;-)]
I don't mind simplifying and improving gnustep-make startup and
configuration if the suggestions are good and workable ... the problem is
I don't see that much space for improvements, without loosing valuable
features. If you have suggestions, let me/us know.
No, don't let us loose features ! ;-)
Top-Priority addition I would wish for is the GNUSTEP_PATHPREFIX_LIST
duplicate removable script, since it makes environments much nicer in
setups with duplicates ...
