Using code from svn then all you shuld need to do is:

1. install gnustep-make ... so you have a gnustep environment to install 
libobjc2 into.
2. build/install libobjc2 using gnu-make ... which should use the GNUmakefile 
(perhaps you are an a system which uses another 'make' and call gnu-make 
'gmake')

The GNUmakefile should install things into the right place.
