RE: Experience of porting a WO 4.01 NT cmd-line program to gstep, aga in on Win NT?

[Mike Llewellyn]

Thanks for the info.

Do you (or anybody else?) know where I might find top-level documentation that might aid me in establishing a development environment for gstep-base on a Win platform?

Apologies for my ignorance, it has been years since using NeXTSTEP, and I have become M$-ised over the last few years.

Is it just a case of putting the root folder of the gstep-base tree into a default search path, add the gstep-make files likewise, and take it from there?

I have not noticed the file gdomap that you mention anywhere yet, perhaps I need a package of binaries to be able to run correctly?

Do I need Cygwin to be able to use gstep?

Again, apologies for these questions, but I haven't found anywhere that gives me an introduction or description or indeed any kind of information on setting up on NT/XP, unless I have simply overlooked it somewhere (?).

Many thanks for any pointers,
