Those installers were a bit obsolete anyway.... the best bet would be to 
download and install msys2 package system, which we support in the 
meanwhile. Then you can install the binary dependencies and use directly 
gnustep, like you were on linux.

I'd recommend using gcc on windows: the objc2 route is complicated due 
to libobjc2 not building with msys2. You get something anyway much more 
advanced than the old files mentioned above.

I made a tutorial which helped choosing the packages and the main 
configure options, however our wiki server is down and it is not backed 
up like the static site on github.io

Sorry for the inconvenience. In case I can check how my own are 
configured. The trickery is anyway only for the base system - then 
configuring and installing applications is like on Linux.
