problem building xgps

[David Relson]

Hi,

I'm trying to build xgps and encountering problems because make can't find 
include files AppKit/*.h

/usr/src/GNUstep/core/xgps has the source code

/usr/local/GNUstep is my GNUSTEP_ROOT (installation directory).

/usr/src/GNUstep/core/gui/Headers/AppKit is a symlink to gnustep/gui (as 
created by target header-links in 
core/gui/GNUmakefile.postamble).  gnustep/gui has all the files that the 
compiler can't find.

Some possible solutions would be:

1: alter the makefile for xgps to point to /usr/src/GNUstep/core/gui/Headers
2: create a symlink from $GNUSTEP_ROOT/System/Headers/AppKit to 
/usr/src/GNUstep/core/gui/Headers/AppKit during "make install" for core/gui.
3: make directory $GNUSTEP_ROOT/System/Headers/AppKit and copy all files in 
core/gui into it.

The first solution is poor because it won't help with building other 
GNUstep applications that need the AppKit header files.

The second solution requires that GNUstep source directories remain 
installed.

Thus I conclude that the third solution is best.
