Comment (by egall@…):

 Replying to [comment:29 ryandesign@…]:
 > I cannot confirm or deny the statements made in that portfile. I would
 be more inclined to believe that the portfile is completely out of date
 and I think someone who understands gnustep or can spend the necessary
 time to research it needs to come to a conclusion about what layout is
 appropriate -- whether it be that which is currently embodied by the
 gnustep_layout variant, that which is embodied by the fhs_layout variant,
 or something else -- and make the port and its dependents unconditionally
 use that.

 I found a Portfile repo that one of the upstream GNUstep maintainers has
 on GitHub, and they force the use of the gnustep layout, with this comment
 explaining why the fhs layout will not work:
 {{{
 # we can not use the fhs layout, because that uses /opt/local/lib as the
 GNUstep system library
 # directory, and gnustep-make adds the system library directory to
 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH when
 # GNUstep.sh is sourced.
 # having /opt/local/lib in DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH can mess up macports. e.g.
 pkg-config
 # will stop working because it loads the macports libjpeg when it should
 load the system
 # libjpeg.
 }}}
