Summary: GNUstep make and frameworks

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

thanks to

I finally figured out that interferring frameworks were somehow 
installed in /home/ahoesch/Library/Frameworks. After removing these 
frameworks and using GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR = / in the GNUmakefile of 
the frameworks (this seems to be important), everything ran through 
like a charm.

I am a happy user of GNustep make on MacOSX, Linux, Solaris,... now. 
Great work Nicola. Thanks a lot!

By the way, the applications that are generated by GNUstep make have 
the old format used on OPENSTEP. That's fine and they run ok on MacOSX, 
though with a standard icon. Has anybody already written a small tool 
to convert these applications into the new MacOSX format with the 
binary in

        ./MyApplication.app/Contents/MacOS

and with a Info-macos.plist file in ./Contents? I could write such a 
tool but it surely would take half a day. If this already existed I 
would appreciate to spend the time on other stuff.

Thanks a lot,

   Andreas
