Hi all,
     I am pretty new to GNUStep and Obj-c. Recently, I managed to get Objc and GnuStep installed under mingw. I am able to compile and run simple obj-c code without any problem. But when I try to use the GNUStep foundation classes like NSObject or NSString I get into trouble. I am trying to compile a small piece of code that uses NSString using the make framework provided by Gnustep and also am successfull. But when I run the program I get the following problem,

"
$ static_obj/ix86/mingw32/gnu-gnu-gnu/m.exe

abnormal program termination
objc runtime: cannot find class NSString
"
I have tried both shared(make) and static(make shared=no) linking but still have the same problem. I would like to get some pointers in this regard.

thanks in advance,
Vaithee.
