I must admit that I'm not convinced that this is right approach. OTOH, I don't have the cycles to come up with a better solution so I won't stand in the way of progress. But I have a few mechanical issues I haven't addressed before. So I would be grateful if you could post your patch again, possibly in coherent separate posts so that the issues can be addressed individually. I know its extra work but I really think it is needed here.If you have concerns, please let us know. You might highlight something that has been missed.What are the "mechanical issues" you need to address?
I only had a quick scan, but IIRC the patch (conditionally) installed headers (made them public) that should very likely remain private. I'll check the archives again, it you can't post the revised version.
I will post the patch, updated to incorporate comments. I'm not sure I can achieve separate posts for all issues because of the inter-dependencies but I will look into what can be done to separate issues cleanly.The issues or questions raised so far: 1) To conf or not to conf 2) Temporary directory and temporary files 3) Win32 temporary path discovery mechanism 4) Win32 Registry usage 5) How and where compile-time definitions are created 6) GNUstep-make dependencies 7) GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/.GNUsteprc usage
I'm note sure, but I had the feeling the LD_LIBRARY_PATH mechanism (wrt. configuring and installing multiple GNUstep hierarchies with different --prefix) would break. I may be wrong though. I'll really try to find some time to look at in the next few days. I was just hoping I could do it in smaller packages.
Cheers, David
