Missing files and paths. Not being a GNUstep expert, I missed a couple of items. The process monitor showed me what was missing, and the Event Viewer gave additional helpful info. Now I need to do some cleanup. Can anyone direct me to the documentation on how to properly configure the .conf file which sits in the same directory as a GNUstep application? I don't seem to have found it yet. Specifically I need a list of all allowed GNUstep variables which may appear in the applications .conf file. Thanks

I have never been a big fan of software which just quits without any explanation of the problem. I now have the test application running on Win7 where GNUstep is not installed. It's showing the GNUstep theme instead of the WinUXTheme, but I think I can fix that now without too much trouble. I have reached the point in the document where the author says to remove everything from your package which wasn't necessary after all. That, plus a little better organization of the files should finish my learning experience . Then on to the next experiment. Thanks for the help.

Since I am just beginning to familiarize myself with GNUstep it can be difficult to know what is due to GNUstep, what is due to Windows, etc. Trying to absorb everything about GNUstep all at the same time can be a little daunting. Thanks again for the reply. Now I just need to figure out why the test application closes without even displaying the GUI window but does not display any error message. > Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2013 13:42:22 +0100 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: GNUstep BUFFER OVERFLOWS > > On 29.12.2013 12:47, a b wrote: > >> Does this happen with your "Own" test app only? or also when starting > >> Gorm or PojectCenter? > > > > I am trying to become familiar with GNUstep; it is a test app only. > > If GNUstep is already installed, I don't see any problem. > > > >> If you just compile and run it inside ProjectCenter, does it happen? > >> > > If GNUstep is already installed, I don't see any problem. > > In my opinion, buffer overflow is unusual.
