Re: (Windows) has anyone successfully ship a product build on GNUstep?

[Lloyd Dupont]

I don't know Richard, it's kind of weird.
When I was testing my command line test,
the file C:\GNUstep\Defaults\.GNUstepDefaults
(and the directory hierarchy above it) was created.

But... now that I have everything sorted out, I ran my (working now) 
installer on a newly formatted/installed XP computer and no such file was 
created.
(maybe because of the newly added resource to my project?)

While I was reading the code I had the feeling this path was absolutely not 
changeable.
I tried to set the GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT environment value to some other 
directory, but that didn't work :-/

So the question is:
how to set-up the place where the default would be read?
(not too mention idealy I would like them to point to
C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application 
Data\GNUstep\.GNUstepDefaults
