notes for install doc

[nova-6]

Hi,

I recently compiled everything from llvm on up till etoile. I like to
suggest few changes to the documentation on
http://etoileos.com/downloads/installtrunk/ so that other newbies to
gnustep / etoile don't repeat my mistakes during that process.

(Changes attached as patch.txt)

 You can check you are really using Clang and not GCC with 'make messages=yes' instead of 'make' when building a GNUstep module.
 You can switch back to GCC for a given project with 'make CC=gcc' (or alternatively './configure CC=gcc').
 
 To get an overview of the build options per module, you can use './configure --help' in each module directory.
 
+**Note**: You also can check if you are using the correct libobjc by 'ldd /Local/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-base.so' (if --with-layout=gnustep and  --prefix=/ was used). If you see 'libobjc.so.4 => not found' then make sure that 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' is correctly set; properly you forgot then to source the GNUstep.sh in your terminal (see above).

 See also [GNUstep](http://www.gnustep.org/) for further information.

Hi,

I'll commit the note you suggest, it's worth to include it I  think.

However you shouldn't have to pass --with-layout=gnustep and --prefix=/ multiple times. Passing them to GNUstep Make once should work.

Did you source the last installed GNUstep.sh prior to compiling GNUstep Base, Gui and Back?

If you had an older GNUstep install, the wrong environments variables might have been used…

Cheers,
Quentin.

I did a fresh installed and deleted all before.

I can redo all to make sure if it would help - but at the moment I
cannot promise a concrete time for the results
