Here are a few more notes:
- It installs using the GNUstep filesystem layout in /opt/local/GNUstep. Using the fhs layout with macports will not work, because gnustep-make adds the gnustep library path to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, which is /opt/local/lib with the fhs layout, and if you add /opt/local/lib to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH it will mess up macports (basically, tools which link to apple versions of libraries will pick up the macports versions in /opt/local/lib and break.)
- Many of the application ports work now (e.g., gorm, systempreferences).
- gnustep-back is currently set to xlib. When I use cairo, opening an open/save panel crashes X11.app. Also tried the latest XQuartz: same problem.
- One improvement that could be made in the future is to use the system compiler rather than the macports gcc46. For this we would need a portfile which builds one of GNUstep's libobjc's, and make sure that the apple compiler doesn't try to include headers for apple's libobjc.
