Re: [Q] GNUstep on Windows... Compilation Error in Base

[Adam Fedor]

Because the shell you use to compile escapes backslash characters. You
should always use a forward slash character to specify paths.

Are you using a cygwin shell or an msys shell?

You said you where using README.MinGW, so I would have to assume you are
using msys. Read the point on setting up the paths very carefully on
this point.
