Hi. I think you are making it over-complicated. The Makefiles directory gets put under /usr/share/GNUstep, so I think you were just looking in the wrong place for it. Hope this helps.

Glad you solved it, Daryl

(I've changed my blogspot profile since my last post). I ran the GNUstep startup package from http://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core, and after adding support for TIFF and JPEG, it seems to be working. I suppose nothing worth doing should be easy. :)

I followed your recommended intallation steps and did not get a Makefiles subdirectory anywhere in my GNUstep directory. When I run [find /usr/lib/GNUstep -name "*.make"] all I get are makefiles in the Bundles, Applications, and Preferences directories. Any idea what I need to do to get the Makefiles contents?

Great - thanks for that!

This is how I install GNUstep on Ubuntu. Once dependencies are installed, I follow this guide.
A simplified version is following:
1. Download gnustep-make
2. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
3. sudo make install
4. source /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
4. Download gnustep-base
5. make
6. sudo make install
