Well, I can't remember after many attempts. But, I think, I tried to 
build first, and I got a lot of errors, and isntalled updated packages 
from macports, and builded the others. I readed about GNUstartup can 
install GNUstep at $home directory, and, I thought at home directory 
could be more easy to maintain. It suppose, I have all installed, but 
I'm getting errors buildnig ProjectCenter, or Ink for example. Ink, 
gives me an error, "can't found /common.make". I searched and found, 
thath is needed to call GNUstep.sh, and I did it, and 
$(GNUstep_Makefiles) (i don't remember exactly) is set to the correct 
path, but still with the same error on each make.

I have it now on my Windows box at office without troubles (well, some 
errors to build from ProjectCenter, and I can't use '[' or ']' and some 
characters using AltGR, or copy paste....but at least I can make from 
msys shell and use Vim at the moment), and I would like to have it at 
home too for continue my learning process :(

I tried this first, but I got a lot of errors. Sorry, I can't remember 
it. I will try it again when back to home, once GNUstep folder is 
deleted. The correct build/install is gnustep-(make), (base), (gui) and 
back, in this order, right? and then, startup is not needed in OSX?

DOH! If don't work, then I don't need this. Obviosly, the idea is share 
code between
my Windows <-> OSX machines.


Cheers.

get any response to my noob-mails (I'm being ignored :D ). should I 
write to help maillist  better?
