Hello
I installed GNUstep on Windows and created a sample hello world
window based application (using NSWindow, NSView, NSButton ...)
Now, how do I call Windows APIs from this GNUstep application?
In an ideal world, you use the GNUstep APIs and don't need to use
windows APIs (since GNUstep is supposed to provide for cross-platform
application development rather than deal with platform specific
APIs) ... but you can call windows APIs directly if you need them for
something.
(Do I need to install the platform SDK first and will gcc work with
the MS headers and libraries.)
You will have mingw and msys installed with GNUstep. The mingw
project provides headers and stubs for the win32 libraries. The msys
stuff provides the development environment (gcc, make etc), so you
should simply be able to use these directly. If there are APIs that
mingw doesn't support, that's probably best addressed by asking the
mingw mailing lists (see www.mingw.org).
