I tried that (adding -lgnustep-base to FaxServiceFoundation_FRAMEWORK_LIBS) but I still get the same error. What is wrong in my GNUMakefile?

GNUmakefile
Description: Binary data

FaxServiceFoundation.tar.gz
Description: GNU Zip compressed data

I have added a complete famework project with only one class if anybody cares to try that. The makefile works on Linux and Mac but not on Windows.

Thanks a lot!
