Re: Problem Installing Gorm with MINGW32 (fwd)

Just forwarding the email to the mailing list to make sure it doesn't get 
forgotten ... I might not have time to look into the ProjectCenter 
makefiles immediately and I don't want the issue to be forgotten ;-)

Thanks

Thank you for your helpfull suggestions.

I installed everything 'by hand' and Gorm is working fine now.

There is a little mishap in ProjectCenter, though.

It seems like a little problem with dependencies in the GNUmakefile:

The makefile for ProjectCenter starts with making subprojects 'Library'
and 'Modules'; the .m files therein reference the PC*Controller.* files that are
part of the main ProjectCenter, so the linker can't find those objects when 
building
'Library' (after I moved the PC*Controller.h files to 'Library').

I tried moving all PC*Controller.m/.h files to Library and adjust the makefiles
accordingly, but then the building of bundle AggregateProject fails, so this
is obviously not the correct solution to the problem.

I feel it must be fairly easy to solve this, but I am by no means
a makefile-guru and I don't like to mess up things beyond repair.


There also is a warning that can be safely ignored (I think), but I let you 
know nevertheless.
This is it:

PCLogController.h:34:1: warning: "ERROR" redefined

Of course this warning shows up several times during building.
