There are two major options here:
1. The "standard" GNUstep layout, where all the GNUstep software is
installed into a separate directory tree (located by default in
/usr/GNUstep, but you can change this). This directory tree is
organized with directories such as Applications, Library, Tools and it
looks very much like a NeXTSTEP or an Apple Mac OS X filesystem. The
main disadvantage of this layout is that it doesn't blend so well with
the native Unix filesystem so it requires additional handling of
executable and library paths to get the system to find the executables
and the libraries.
1. ./configure --with-layout=gnustep
2. The "FHS" layout, where the GNUstep software is installed into the
The "standard" GNUstep layout, where all the GNUstep software is
installed into a separate directory tree located by default in
/usr/GNUstep. You can change the default location by using
--prefix=xxx, as in
./configure --with-layout=gnustep --prefix=/opt/GNUstep
to install everything into /opt/GNUstep instead of /usr/GNUstep. This

2. ./configure --with-layout=fhs-system
The "FHS" layout, where the GNUstep software is installed into the
standard Unix directories such as /usr/bin and /usr/lib. This blends
very well with the native Unix filesystem, but you lose the special
allure of the GNUstep layout.
