Re: GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is gone, what replaces it?

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi David,

it "should" be a simple thing to fix. I do not build Preferences.app 
anymore because, apart from the more NeXT vs. Mac look, has no real 
advantages over SystemPreferences. But I find it find to continue making 
it work, a makefile is should be easy to fix.

Does it get installed in the wrong place? Your patch makes sense to me, 
but is not what I would do.

Have you tried removing BUNDLE_INSTALL_DIR totally?

I am checking how a SystemPreference  module is build, look here:

you do have this in the makefile?
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/bundle.make

Then it should just install fine. Also forcing System versus Local is 
wrong: suppose you install Preferences.app into the Local domain, you 
expect modules to be in Local/Library/Bundles instead of 
System/Library/Bundles

I don't think it should install in "Library/Preferences"
