Thanks.
GNUstep.sh should not be executed - it should be sourced
(for example by using '. $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES/GNUstep.sh' in
bash). If it is executed, it doesn't work.
Because it has to be sourced, and not executed, it's not
a good idea to have it in your PATH. Stuff in your PATH
is to be executed. Tools are executed. GNUstep.sh instead
is not to be executed - it is to be sourced.
It's definitely better to have it in a separate location
outside your PATH to prevent confusions.

Bug Group: Bug Resolution: Invalid
Assigned to: nico Status: Analyzed
Summary: Wrong placement of GNUstep.sh
Original Submission: GNUstep.sh is in a wrong location. Instead of
/System/Library/Makefiles it should be in the /System/Tools directory. It is a
tool and it is required for GNUstep environment as a whole, not just for
makefiles.
Sooner the file is moved, less annoyed users will be there later.
