<p>On GNUstep, there are four separate places where files related to
GNUstep are installed: these places are called "domains". These four
domains are the System domain, the Network domain, the Local domain,
and the User domain. Each of these domains serve a special purpose.
</p>
<p>You can install various things in each domain; for example
applications, tools or libraries. Each domain should allow you to
install the different types of resources or compiled software.
</p>
<p>Starting with gnustep-make version 2.0, each GNUstep installation can
specify how these domains should be organized and mapped to
directories on the filesystem. A way to map GNUstep domains to
filesystem directories is called a “filesystem layout”. A
filesystem layout will specify in which directory System Tools are to
be installed, for example. The description of various filesystem
layouts (and instructions on how to create your own) can be found in
the <samp>FilesystemLayouts</samp> directory inside gnustep-make.
</p>
<p>Applications, libraries, bundles and other resources are normally
looked up in domains following a fixed order: User first, then Local,
then Network, then System.
</p>
<p>In this document we give a general overview of the GNUstep domains and
of the interesting locations in a domain. We also describe the
GNUstep filesystem layout.
</p>
<p>The GNUstep filesystem layout is a good way to discuss domains,
because it is very simple: in the GNUstep filesystem layout, every
domain is mapped to a single directory on disk. For example, the
System domain could be mapped to the <samp>/usr/GNUstep/System</samp>
directory, and everything that is installed into the System domain is
then installed into some subdirectory of <samp>/usr/GNUstep/System</samp>.
Before gnustep-make version 2.0, this was the only filesystem layout
available.
</p>
<p>Please keep in mind that (starting from gnustep-make version 2.0) this
is not the case for a general filesystem layout; for example a typical
FHS (Unix) layout might be installing System Tools in <samp>/usr/bin</samp>
and System Admin Tools in <samp>/sbin</samp>.
</p>
<p>In fact, starting with gnustep-make version 2.6.0, the default
filesystem layout is now the FHS (Unix) layout rooted in
<samp>/usr/local</samp>.
