RE: Problems with Objc Runtime and Foundation Classes

[S.B., Vaitheeswaran]

Yes, removed previous installation completely and tried to install. I
have windows 2000 installed. This really driving me crazy. Also, earlier
I followed each and every step given in readme.mingw, but some of the
stuff that they say doesn't work so I had to try different combination
to get all the packages built and installed. For example, to install
FFCALL they say we have to do the following
"
./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT \
 --libdir=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Libraries/ix86/mingw32 \
 --includedir=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Headers
make
make install
"

but in reality this is what works,
"
./configure 
make
make install
"

thanks,
Vaithee.

in the former "make install" fails saying that the path is not
absolutely.

Looks like something wrong with mingw. Are you sure you removed all 
traces of any previous mingw installation, etc?  What version of 
Windows do you have?
