Hi,

You should rather try to use the standalone layout that GNUstep make
offers and report back problems with that instead of using a probably
outdated set of instructions.
But the problems you are seeing are most likely unrelated. You should
be getting the same when using the standard GNUstep layout for
Windows. Looks like we need bigger or adjustable buffers when
accessing some Windows resources. Sadly your report isn't of much help
to locate this problems. Could you provide more context? For example
by running your application in a debugger?
Has anybody ever used GNUstep on Windows 7 or later?

There are several instances where the application
causes a BUFFER OVERFLOW, as follows:
1) BUFFER OVERFLOW on QueryInformationVolume for the local
harddisk when
the application starts
2) BUFFER OVERFLOW (Length = 144) for keys
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\WinSock2\Parameters\Protocol_Catalog9
\Catalog_Entries\00000000000x\PackedCatalogItem
ALL of these keys, where x = 0 to MAX_ENTRY
3) BUFFER TOO SMALL when accessing key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time
Zones
Since I am new to GNUstep I need to ask if this might be caused by
the environment
not being set up correctly (GNUstep not installed, or not installed
properly?). This
behavior is occuring under Win7. I find this behavior odd since
buffer overflows are
not considered to be a good thing on the Windows platform.
I use certain apps on windows XP and Windows7. I packaged the same app
with my owm "mega-blob" technique and it is being used without problems
under Windows 8.
Does this happen with your "Own" test app only? or also when starting
Gorm or PojectCenter?
If you just compile and run it inside ProjectCenter, does it happen?
Where/how do you see these buffer overflows?
