Yup ... I had a look, that app seems to be using GNUmakefiles generated
by Project Center -- unfortunately ProjectCenter used to hardcode
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR
inside the makefiles (which is pretty bad for various reasons).

I think some time ago I fixed Project Center so that it would not to do
that ;-),
presumably the GNUmakefiles just need recreating using a new Project
Center ? :-)

Anyway, as a quick fix while the makefiles get fixed,

 make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR=/usr/GNUstep/System

should do it (untested). ;-)

Or just remove GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR from GNUmakefile, then
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN,
DESTDIR and other goodies (including some future ones) should start
working. :-)

Thanks
