Re: problems compiling objective c

[Paul Johnson]

I think you need the swarm bin directory in the path in front of the 
Cygwin bin directory. It is failing because it finds gcc from cygwin, 
not gcc from swarm. And they arent' the same!

If somebody posts a 1-2-3 list of steps to install in MS Windows, and 
tests it out and confirms it works for both Obj-C and Java, I'll add it 
to the swarm faq.  I don't use windows so much these days and so it is 
better if somebody else do this. My preliminary take is this:

1. Remove Swarm-2.1.1

2. Install the current Cygwin environment

3. Unzip Swarm-2.2 in a place like C:\Swarm-2.2

4. Fiddle you MS windows environment as follows
 ??? set SWARMDIR (not SWARMHOME, right? is there a common way across 
all versions of windows?

 ??? edit the path so Swarm-2.2\bin is in there before Cygwin\bin

I will post in the FAQ if somebody finalizes and checks this for me
