tools-make/FilesystemLayouts

This directory contains filesystem layouts that you can use when you
configure your gnustep-make.

A filesystem layout describes how the GNUstep installation domains
(System, Network, Local, User) map to directories on disk.

Every file in this directory is a filesystem layout that you can use
in gnustep-make's ./configure.

Eg,

./configure --with-layout=linux

./configure --with-layout=linux-system

By default, the GNUstep layout is used.  The files are shell files
that are directly include by ./configure and that should set the
specified variables.

If you want to use your own custom layout, just start with one of the
existing layouts, copy it into a new file, and edit it.

Here is a list of the filesystem layout with comments --

 * GNUstep: default GNUstep filesystem layout; it installs everything
into /usr/GNUstep/System, /usr/GNUstep/Local.  It's a very friendly
layout, similar to the ones found on NeXTstep, OpenStep and Apple Mac
OS X.  It's the only layout that can support fat binaries.  It may not
blend very well with the native environment because everything is
installed in special, GNUstep-only, directories, so you may need to
source a special script (GNUstep.sh) before being able to use the
layout.  Recommended for the advanced GNUstep users and the
NeXTstep/Apple fans.

 * linux: standard Linux FHS layout for locally compiled software; it
installs everything into /usr/local.  Blends very well with native
GNU/Linux systems (and other Unix systems with similar directory
structure).  Recommended if you're compiling from sources on Unix and
want good integration with your native system.

 * linux-system: standard Linux FHS layout for software to be shipped
as part of distributions/systems; it installs system stuff into /usr,
and is ready to support local stuff to be installed into /usr/local.
Blends wonderfully with native GNU/Linux systems (and other Unix
systems with similar directory structure) as you're installing
everything straight into the standard system locations.  Recommended
if you're building packages for a Unix system.

 * windows: a GNUstep filesystem layout that installs by default into
C:/GNUstep.  Recommend if you're compiling on Windows.
