        Bug #13893 in NSRunLoop.h

You have this code :

typedef enum {
#ifdef __MINGW__
ET_HANDLE,
#else
ET_RDESC, /* Watch for descriptor becoming readable. */
ET_WDESC, /* Watch for descriptor becoming writeable. */
#endif
ET_RPORT, /* Watch for message arriving on port. */
/* For binary compatibility we have an extra ifdef... */
#ifndef __MINGW__
ET_EDESC /* Watch for descriptor with out-of-band data. */
#endif
} RunLoopEventType;

	which don't compil when MINGW isn't defined. Should be fixed with 
something like that :

typedef enum {
#ifdef __MINGW__
ET_HANDLE,
#else
ET_RDESC, /* Watch for descriptor becoming readable. */
ET_WDESC, /* Watch for descriptor becoming writeable. */
#endif

/* For binary compatibility we have an extra ifdef... */
#ifndef __MINGW__
ET_RPORT, /* Watch for message arriving on port. */
ET_EDESC /* Watch for descriptor with out-of-band data. */
#else
ET_RPORT /* Watch for message arriving on port. */
#endif
} RunLoopEventType;

        Yes it takes quite a lot of time for me to understand that :-)

	I have think to that, but install gnustep additions could be usefull 
later for other gnustep stuff... And there are function like ASSIGN, 
RETAIN, etc which I believe don't work on Mac OS X without gnustep 
additions.

	All of that would have been more simple if i have my linux box, but i 
have lend it to a friend for a long time.
