Starting clean I installed msys2 and then ran the below script and
received the following error:

================ Post Installation ================
/bin/bash: line 55: ./tools-scripts/post-install-msys_nt: No such file

Also, someone else responded with a different method to use. So to be
honest I am confused.

Bob,
Greetings! Clang/libobjc2 is a PITA to get working on Windows.
Currently, we build using GCC on Msys2+Windows, but that will change
soon. You might find the following link helpful:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl
-fsSLhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnustep/tools-scripts/master/gnustep-web-install
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnustep/tools-scripts/master/gnustep-web-install>)"
Once you havc installed MSYS2, open an MSYS shell and run the above.
It should download and install everything you need to get started.
This does use gcc which means you will have access to some, not all,
of ObjC2.0 features.
Please try that and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, GC

Following the recommendation I cleaned up my previous attempts to
get GNUstep working properly.
I installed msys2 and all of the required and optional packages to
proceed on compiling and building the following:
gnustep-make tools-make
gnustep-base
gnustep-gui
gnustep-back
Currently I am getting compile errors on compiling libobjc2.
Input:

Anyone help me out so I can get GNUstep compiled, installed and
working?
Apologies if I am using the wrong list account. I do not see much
activity on any of them..
Thanks,
Bob
Ps: My end result is that I have a fully working object-c working
on windows. My macOS objective-c is working just fine.
