Re: problem with latest GNUstep (in CVS) on windows?

[Lloyd Dupont]

The problem is 2 fold....

1st: Actuall my small test ObjectiveC program is not working and I just 
upgrade the CVS version (which is in C:\GNUstep-CVS\gnustep), delete all my 
binaries and rebuild GNUstep in C:\GNUstep following these directions:
http://wwwmain.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/User/GNUstep/README.MinGW
(I re-configure make & install: make, libojc, ffcal, base, gui, back)

I found 2 ".GNUstepDefaults" files,
- C:\Documents and Settings\Lloyd Dupont\GNUstep\Defaults\.GNUstepDefaults
- C:\GNUstep\Defaults\.GNUstepDefaults

none of them has a "GSBackend" variable defined
in fact "C:\GNUstep\Defaults\.GNUstepDefaults" is empty

out of curiosity I added the enty you mentioned (GSBackend = "back-010";) in 
both files but it didn't work.


2nd: while this is good for my test. my real application doesn't use GNUstep 
at all. I mean its installer DOESN'T install GNUstep. Not only I have to 
hack GNUstep a little for my app, but for simple installation purpose I just 
copy whatever is necessary is my app's directories and initialize 
GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT, GNUSTEP_NETWORK_ROOT, GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT to whatever is 
required at init time.
So any idea of what else I should do?
