Re: unable to compile on Windows

[Ivan Vučica]

Sounds like your environment can find neither MinGW's (GCC's) objc nor GNUstep's liobjc2.

If they are installed, and you just need a quick fix, you could perhaps go to: 

C:\GNUstep\GNUstep\System\Library\Makefiles (or equivalent)

and in common.make's definition for GNUSTEP_HEADERS_FLAGS add "-I" flag pointing to where objc/objc.h is located (for example, I found it in C:\GNUstep\GNUstep\System\Library\Headers so I would punch in -IC:/GNUstep/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers)

Untested of course, and it probably won't help much since other problems will probably arise. It's also just a dirty temporary fix.

Hi,

the recent configure / header changes make it impossible for me to compile on windows:

Any clues? it happens for almost any file in gui. I updated and reconfigured make, base and gui
