This largely makes my point :-), which wasn't that it doesn't work, it
was that it doesn't work easily and requires manual tweaking that
someone approaching GS for the first time would be either unwilling or
unable to make, and the webpage in question did not make that clear
(which was the main gist of my point). I really don't mind that it
doesn't work, I do mind having something out there that *could* be
construed as misleading or cause a new user to set unreasonable
expectations ( I mean above those that a typical new user brings to
anything ).
We had an excellent conversation on IRC regarding the entire thing, and
it is in my opinion resolved to the best possible solution today, and
hopefully at some point in the future will have an even better resolution.

Hi all,
To prove my point earlier about getting applications to compile, I have
GWorkspace compiling and running on Windows. I've made some
modifications to the Makefiles so that the code compiles (most of the
changes are hacks, but they demonstrate that it is possible to get
complex applications compiling on Windows with a little bit of effort
and little/no code changes). Second is a screenshot.

It's mostly useless (you can rename files and move things around), as DO
doesn't seem to operate properly. Plus my configuration is wrecked from
the new GNUstep.conf stuff, so I was lucky to get it to run. Thumbs up
to the GWorkspace author for no unusual library dependencies (from what
I can work out).
Cheers
Chris
