From a packaging point of view (and also from a style point of view) this build method is unacceptable. This is exactly what Michael Baehr was talking about a mere day or two ago. *EVERYTHING* should build from the root of a project directory as long as you have your makefile set up properly with subprojects; Your makefiles are not set up correctly. If you need some help getting this set up properly, I'm sure either Michael or myself will be willing to help you with it. Please do not assume that the only people using your program will be compiling it from source. We're making a concerted effort out of trying to automate package generation, and GWorkspace and other great applications like it are compromising our ability to do so. Don't take this as a personal attack, Enrico, but we're feeling rather frustrated that certain bad assumptions are being made, and we feel it's high time to raise our concerns.GWorkspace has been splitted in some applications, Desktop, Inspector, Finder, Operation and the file viewers, represented by the old GWorkspace application itself. This is a transition release because also the file viewers will be rewritten soon. But, for the moment, I want to release this work because I've written many new parts that must be tested.Some parts needs the new FSNode framework, a collection of classes that encapsulates many NSFileManager and NSWorkspace methods in a simplier API and offers some basical elements to represent files, as icons, icons views, browser cells, etc.So, you need to install it first: cd FSNode make install
then you can build the other things: cd ../ ./configure make install
See above. Cheers, Alex Perez GNUstep.org co-maintainer and Unofficial Packaging Bitch
