I'm trying to port some of my mac osx applications to Linux using GNUstep Gorm and Project Center.

I have successfully built and run both Gorm and Project Center. I have my entire application written, but when I click build I get:

/common.make: No such file or directory
/aggregate.make No such file or directory
/application.make No such file or directory
make: ***No rule to make target '/application.make'. Stop.
==Build terminated!==

I looked in the make file and figured $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES) is not pointing to /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/ where all of the make files are located.

I have run "source '/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh'" (yes I use bash) and it still will not set up the environment.

Oh, I am on Ubuntu 9.10 - Kernel 2.6.31-14-generic

Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Ok, here is an update.

I open terminal, I type:

echo $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES

which brings up nothing.

Then I type:

source /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

echo $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES
bash: /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles: is a directory

But the environment is only good for that session, It does not set GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES to the needed path anywhere outside that particular terminal session. So as soon as I open up a new terminal window, echo $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES brings up nothing. I need to set the environment system wide so I can use Project center to actually build the application. The Makefile in Project Center needs the environment set up, but I dont know how to do it for the entire system.

EDIT:
I found and edited bash.bashrc and the environment is all set up. But, in my applications makefile, lines like include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/application.make still come up 'not found'. Make is either not parsing the environment variables or is not receiving them.
Any thoughts anyone?

You may find some hints in this thread

I used /usr/bin/gnustep-config ( post # 11 )
and the OP has a suggestion in post # 10 .

Yeah, I ran and got which is exactly what it supposed to be.

But when I build in Terminal or in Project Center GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES does not point to that directory. So the lines in the applications Makefile do not work (they point to the wrong directory) and the build fails.

Everywhere else GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES points to the directory correctly except when building, even with
