I see so you want the whole environment to be moveable after it has been built?

Yes, certainly! I know large corporate who *insist* that anything their suppliers install on their systems must be 'relocatable' in just such a way. At the moment, GNUstep is relocatable like that AFAIK (at least the base library and anything confining itsself to
using the base library facilities is).

I think thats a little complicated specially if you have GNUstep daemons. Then GNUstep is only a graphics toolkit and widget set.

I don't see why it should be complicated ... all you need to do is avoid hard coding any absolute paths into your applications. All the base library needs to do is to ensure that it does not depend on hard-coded paths (though it's ok to use them as long as they are not required). To the best of my knowledge this is the current state of things.




Well then its better to have a config file.
