Ok thanks, I've found it in /usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles indeed.
I had to change the group permissions from staff to root, otherwise it
wouldn't run. Then GWorkspace compiled fine.
But now if I do sudo make install , it says :

$ sudo make install
GNUmakefile:5: /common.make: No such file or directory
GNUmakefile:33: /aggregate.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/aggregate.make'.  Stop.

even though these files are there in the Makefiles folder...
if I try just make install , it starts installing then gives me errors :

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/lib/GNUstep/Frameworks': Permission 
denied
make[2]: *** [/usr/local/lib/GNUstep/Frameworks] Error 1
make[1]: *** [FSNode.install.framework.variables] Error 2
make: *** [internal-install] Error 2
