RE: Problems with Objc Runtime and Foundation Classes

[S.B., Vaitheeswaran]

Eureka, I tried installing gnustep_base with the following ./configure,
./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT
--includedir=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Headers
--libdir=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Libraries/ix86/mingw32

and it worked like a charm. I am able to run the Example program. Thanks
adam for all the help. I still don't understand why I got that strange
error with the objc runtime.

I would certainly have more questions once I jump into Obj-c
programming.

thanks again,
Vaithee.

Do you have any other free software (mingw) installed on your system or 
is GNUstep the only thing you've tried?

Using C:/GNUstep should work fine, at least with the msys terminal. But 
I don't know that much about Windows other than really insignificant 
things can totally mess up the system.


If you got ffcall installed correctly, perhaps send me the config.log 
file to gnustep-base and I can try to figure out why gnustep-base 
cannot find ffcall.
