gstep-base...

[kevin lyda]

ok, i downloaded gstep-base 0.6.6 from ftp.gnustep.org onto a
pretty vanilla redhat linux 6.1 box.  i'm not actually interested
in gnustep but in objective c.  libobject was recommended and i slowly
learned that it has been folded into gstep-base.

fine.

so i run configure and it configure's correctly and then i run make:

    make: *** No rule to make target `/Makefiles/aggregate.make'.  Stop.

hm.  download gstep-make 0.6.6, configure, make, install.  delete the
gstep-base directory, untar it again, configure, make:

    make: *** No rule to make target `/Makefiles/aggregate.make'.  Stop.

right.  at this point i read the INSTALL and README files.  both point me
to GNUstep-HOWTO.  i run "find . -name GNUstep-HOWTO\* -print" in both
directories.  nope.

sigh.

i'll keep going on this, and perhaps i'll come up with patches or
something, but please consider that the more people that use your class
library - even if not in gnustep - the better it will be in terms of
features and stability.  in fact if i use objective c like i'm considering
i'll probably look for performance tweaks on lower level objects.

and since it might be used outside of gnustep, perhaps it might be wise to
consider not requiring gnustep.
