After some hours of sleep, I gave it a fresh start over. Following  
exactly the instructions Nicola posted  
(http://mediawiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Installation_on_Windows), I got  
a reproduceable error concerning conftest.exe. This error occurs while  
the configure script of ffcall checks for the long long type. Actually  
the configure script runs through (I just ignored the error pop-ups),  
but therefore the make of gnustep-base failed in GSFFCall* (<- cannot  
remember the name exactly, but it was line 1004 and it bleated about  
va_return_long_long or something like this)
Is someone able to reproduce this error? Does someone have a hint for  
me?
Occured on a MS Windows 2000 SP4 machine.

Thanks a lot,
Marc
