I'm stuck. I just don't get it. I always get this error. Probably I am 
a real huge blockhead, but i'm going round in circles.


gcc        -o shared_obj/FBConnWin.exe \
        ./shared_obj/FBConnWin_main.o \
         -Lc:/GNUstep/System/Library/Frameworks/SRFoundation.framework 
-Lc:/GNUstep/Library/Libraries -Lc:/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries 
-Lc:/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -lSRFoundation -lgnustep-base 
-lobjc -lws2_32 -ladvapi32 -lcomctl32 -luser32 -lcomdlg32 -lmpr 
-lnetapi32 -lm -I.
./shared_obj/FBConnWin_main.o(.data+0x398):FBConnWin_main.m: undefined 
reference to `__objc_class_name_SRConnection'
make[1]: *** [shared_obj/FBConnWin.exe] Error 1
make: *** [FBConnWin.all.tool.variables] Error 2

gnustep-base and gnustep-gui and so on always consist out of two files: 
a libgnustep-base.a and a gnustep-base.dll. A compilation of my 
framework results in just one .dll. Don't know if this is somehow 
related. Actually the only thing I know is: This error drives me mad! 
And the other thing: Burn Windows boxes, burn.

But back on topic:
Is there a "How-to compile frameworks (under Windows)"? I need one!
