The Readme.MINGW file and the GNUstep on Windows Wiki page

configure
--prefix=/GNUstep. I don't mind either of them, but we should be
consistent. Otherwise people end up with two GNUstep installations.
Yes. There is no native layout in Windows (At least not that a
normal Windows user is aware of), so the GNUstep layout is probably
the best.
base:
It looks like the xml2-config script in the mingw/bin directory is not
set up correctly. Changing its first variable to point to the real
directory (I think it was just /mingw) solves the problem.
That's probably because I cross-compiled everything to save time. I
really haven't tested out compiling things on Windows except for some
simple stuff. I should probably test that more.
gui:
Here a problem with the type boolean that gets defined in two imported
header files needs to be resolved. I worked around this by hacking
in a
#define boolean JPEG_BOOL into the libjpeg.h file.
After all that I still have problem starting up an application.
This is
caused by gui not finding the backend. I expect that this is caused by
some unusual language settings (German) on my computer. At least
this is
the only hint I get from GNUstep. I report back on that issue as
soon as
I find out more.
