Re: Flattened GNUstep structure?

[David Relson]

Pascal,

Your chart is biased towards Deep.  It shows no advantages for 
Flattened.  Consequently, it leaves new users with the problem of learning 
where to find generated files, i.e. object files, libraries, and 
executables.  Mostly the system handles this for them, but what about the 
need to find the executable when debugging?
