Re: Help installing GNUstep?

[Adam Fedor]

Do you have cygwin installed on the machine as well?  That sometimes conflicts with the mingw libraries. It's also possible that some antivirus software is causing problems.  It might be easier if you could try to see the error message that occurs before the window disappears. Probably the best way is to start a Windows CMD window:

1. Start->Run, then type 'cmd' in the text box

2. Then type in the CMD window

C:\GNUstep\bin\sh.exe

It might be possible to solve the issue by running the rebase command. You can download from here:

ftp://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/windows/rebase-ms.zip

and in the same CMD window try something like

rebase -b 0x30000000 C:\GNUstep\bin\msys-1.0.dll

I just installed GNUstep on my windows system ( MS Windows XP Media Center Edition, Service Pack 3) per the instructions at http://www.gnustep.org/experience/Windows.html. The readme says to test it by running Shell. When I do this, Shell pops up for a second then dies. I installed all three packages, in the following order, without receiving any error messages: GNUstep MSYS System, GNUstep Core, GNUstep Devel.
