I was using a webmail and somehow my messages got truncated. That was kind of frustrating. This being said, here is how I succeeded to get FreeBSD + GNUstep + etoile working: First I compiled the necessary packages: cd /usr/ports/x11/gnustep-app make install make distclean This might take quiet a while... ;) Then I added in /etc/csh.cshrc the line: source /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.csh and in /etc/profile the line: . /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh then in ~/.xession: opentool etoile_system There was a little hack that I had to do (this should be corrected soon though), I had to extract from etoile_0+20060917+dfsg.orig.tar.gz the setup.sh script and run it by hand. This script basically creates links where they are needed... And then voila! startx or just login from xdm, you will get etoile working on a GNUstep based system... My first impressions about it: - It's a 0.1 and it shows. However this is very promising - Emacs 23 did not work for me - The GNUstep look and feel is still very present. I did not succeed to change the theme with Camaelon (I did not try hard though...) Daniel
