Which brings up an interesting question...Do we support Apple's ProjectBuilder generated makefiles and makefile system, (which I believe Stéphane is using)? Personally I would like to avoid this because:a) Maintianers need an OS X to verify that things are workingb) Makefiles and headers will get cluttered with constructs to support both make systems c) Nicola goes through a lot of effort to insure gnustep-make works on OS X. (d) I would prefer patches which include the necessary GNUmakefile changes as we have to make them anyway.)
Apple's ProjectBuilder doesn't use Makefiles by default: they use jam instead of make, and the jam file is created on-the-fly by PB during compilation. No risk of cluttering Makefiles. Headers need some modifications, whatever make system is used, because I use Apple's Foundation instead of GNUstep's. I don't know whether Nicola wants to support Apple's runtime too: do the makefiles support it, or do they support only GNUstep's? Personally I prefer using PB, because I find it's a good IDE. I can easily maintain project, perform changes, searches, edition of code. Of course it's a different make system that would need to be maintained separately. Anyway, if you prefer not including in the official distribution, no problem: I will maintain it and provide people an up-to-date version, as well as for other projects like gnustep base, gsantlr and gsweb. I let you maintain your makefiles, I won't use them: my target is OSX currently.
