I want to move windowmaker's config directory (normally ~/GNUstep) to something like ~/.GNUstep. I set the layout-from-conf-file use flag, affecting gnustep-make (which windowmaker needs), and defined /etc/conf.d/gnustep.env as GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=/usr/GNUstep/System GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT=/usr/GNUstep/Local GNUSTEP_NETWORK_ROOT=/usr/GNUstep/Network GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT='~/.GNUstep' as recommended. Yet windowmaker still wants the config directory as ~/GNUstep. Why? Both wmaker.inst assume this location, as well as windowmaker itself (i.e. it creates it itself when I delete (or move) it and run windowmaker without wmaker.inst) I know it pays some attention to /etc/conf.d/gnustep.env, since the default pixmap paths & the like list ~/.GNUstep as entries... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set use flag layout-from-conf-file 2. Define /etc/conf.d/gnustep.env as above, changing default user root. 3. Emerge windowmaker (making sure gnustep-make gets recompiled if necessary.) 4. As normal user, run wmaker.inst or just windowmaker Actual Results: ~/.GNUstep is not created or searched for, and ~/GNUstep is created/searched instead. Expected Results: Used /etc/conf.d/gnustep.env to find the right directory. This seems pretty straight-forward, but here's emerge info anyway.

if you have: GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=/usr/GNUstep/System then add a line like . /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh (yes, "dot" "space" "/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh") to your ~/.bashrc; then source the .bashrc (or log in and out), and re-run wmaker.inst Please let me know if this does it (It sounds like that's the only step missing).

... can i assume this fixed your problem?
Sorry, afk a few days. Yup, that fixed it. Now maybe if that trick could sneak into the docs somewhere a little more obvious.. Thanks!
