I don't think 'crazy' is a term calculated to get you a lot of help
... as
most people view the makefile system as a major asset of GNUstep
(to the point where some use it on MacOS-X to build Cocoa projects)
I confirm that. The GNUstep makefile appeared to me as one of the most
powerful and straightforward to use. I actually switched from XCode to
GNUstep-make because of the added flexibility.
Maybe you should look at Nicola's tutorials, which are rather clear and
will help you get in touch with this "insanely" simple makefile system
:
- http://www.gnustep.it/nicola/Tutorials/WritingMakefiles/index.html
- http://www.gnustep.it/nicola/Tutorials/MoreOnMakefiles/index.html
Also, you can have a look into the System/Library/Makefiles directory
to find what variables can be set and used.
Eventually, if you run into problems, typing "make messages=yes" allows
you to have a verbose compilation, which display the commands used in
the build process. It's very helpful !
Cheers,
