Someone has been tried install GNUstep with GNU SRC [1]? If this works,
should be listed at website as a way to install GNUstep.

I'm the maintainer of GSRC. I am very interested in having all of the
official GNUstep packages available to install and use in the
system. However, I am generally unfamiliar with the installation and
usage of GNUstep and I haven't been able to thoroughly verify it yet
other than to make sure that it builds and installs correctly (which is
why some packages aren't present; I haven't been able to build them
correctly yet). So, actually, I would greatly appreciate it if someone
would be willing to give it a try!

For those who are unfamiliar with GSRC, it's a BSD Ports-like system
that automates the process of downloading, extracting, configuring,
building and installing of GNU software from source. So, installing
GNUstep Workspace is as simple as:

make -C gnustep/gworkspace install

If you experience any problems or if you need any help, please don't
hesitate to send a message to me or (preferably) to bug-...@gnu.org and
I'll work on it!

Cheers,
Brandon

Some packages are unmaintained and will not compile with recent versions
of its requisites. For example the guile package.

I will do a test at weekend.

As I understand GSRC should tell me the dependencies I need install, in
the case that these aren't gnu packages, right?

Which package are you using? Currently Pantomime is hosted here (isn't a
gnu package):
