That's surprising. :-( It seems to suggest that probably the problem is something else. :-/ Maybe it's a bug in gnustep-base then ? It looks like I'll have to reboot under Microsoft Windows and try it all again. :-/ >> PS: stuff like >> >> ./configure --prefix=C:/GNUstep >> >> is no longer recommended and might not work.

That's bad. > Well ... GNUstep command-line development is Unix-like, but it has always been like that. Things are compiled using sh/make/gcc ... that's why you need MSYS. ;-) If you mix Unix paths with non-Unix paths sh/make/gcc/etc get easily confused. Then things maybe work, maybe not, and it's difficult to get things working consistently, predictably and reliably. Which is why we really recommend working inside MSYS when building, other types of building are not really supported. But once you have built your stuff, you are free to use your environment in a more Windows-like setup! :-) > Even my MSYS/mingw installation is not 'standard' as i use some > msys-links : > / is C:\Dev\msys\1.0 > /mingw is C:\Dev\MinGW\mingw > /usr/local is C:\Dev\MinGW\local > Should that work with GNUstep or do I have to reinstall the > whole thing ? I'm not sure, I'd need to boot Windows to help you here. :-/ But if you can figure out how to use these 'links' then I imagine that you can put GNUstep wherever you want on disk ;-) Just create a "link" /usr/GNUstep --> C:\GNUstep then if gnustep-make can access the stuff from the shell as /usr/GNUstep, everything should work fine ... and you can still find GNUstep on your harddisk in C:\GNUstep. :-) Presumably if all is about finding GNUstep on your harddisk you can also create a desktop link (reference ? whatever it was called under MS Windows) pointing to <msys>/usr/GNUstep. ;-) Thanks _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
