Its different in plenty of ways, eg resource lookup but even the  
built products are different.

SOPE with Xcode (aka SOPE:X) is really just an "afterthought" to  
integrate SOPE into MacOSX in a good (perfect ;-) way.
For example to build frameworks (or fat binaries ;-)

I've written a mail about the various SOPE build styles in the past  
(check the list archives). In fact you can even build frameworks with  
gstep-make now (but again this has different build results to both,  
SOPE + Xcode and SOPE + gstep-make with libs ...).
Sorry if this is completely confusing ;-)

Ignore this text for OGo related things. Its about doing SOPE  
development on MacOSX.

The framework solution doesn't work for OGo.

See the INSTALL file inside OGo. Its in WebUI/Templates. You either  
need to copy or link them to the appropriate location (which depends  
on your setup, see INSTALL).

Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. It basically says where resources and  
binaries are to be installed on Linux (eg that libs go to /usr/local/ 
lib, resources (like templates) to /usr/local/share, daemons to sbin,  
tools to bin, etc etc).

FHS would be OK (will install everything in /usr/local), but you  
might want to install in the GNUstep deployment root?

Besides that everything looks OK.
