Hi John,

Check out this tutorial on how to get the Hello World example working: 
http://www.gnustep.it/nicola/Tutorials/WritingMakefiles/node2.html

Just launch the GNUstep shell from your start menu and use the text editor of 
your choice to create the GNUmakefile file.

As far as following Xcode tutorials in general, it should be possible, but may 
require a bit of work depending on the tutorial. The parts that focus on the 
ObjC language should be useful. Note that with the GNUstep windows installer, 
you only get ObjC 1.0, so no blocks, garbage collection, @property, etc. When 
it comes to building GUI applications, we have an InterfaceBuilder equivalent 
called Gorm.

Hope this helps.

Eric
