 Hi

I am a long-term developer experienced with a no of other ide's

I just now have started to need to build projects for the
iPhone, using Windows 7

It appeared that GnuStep is the solution

I read up and have installed what I think I need but
when I try to run ProjectCenter for the first time it
crashes with no other displays than an error window - see below

=================

I think I carried out all the pre-requites

I installed MinGW (everything) and figured out how to start that,
now get a console screen minGW32

---------

I inatalled GnuStep (all I think I need)

When I run ProjectCenter from my screen icon it crashes  

Can anyone help?  Have I missed somthing??

You may have gotten an older package.  Could you tell us what versions of the packages you installed to help debug the problem?

Thanks, looking to test my first iPhone app soon!

I feel compelled to point out. GNUstep doesn't currently have an idea hone compatibility later that works.  We also don't have a means of deploying to the phone.  

Your best bet at this moment for development of iOS apps is to get a cheap/Used mac and use that.  I would love to have a working iOS/UIKit implementation on GNUstep, but it will be some time before we do. 

I am not meaning to curb your enthusiasm but I don't want people to think that GNUstep can be used for this purpose at the present moment.

Rob
