Re: gnustartup

As i mentioned in my original email when i install (setup,core,dev) and then install (make, base, gui, back) by running (./configure, make, make install) it installs fine, but when i run gcc for a file i get (Foundation/NSObject not a valid file or directory). Should i be adding flags when i install the (make,base,etc...) or have a particular path where i put the folders and run the ./configure for? I have tried those steps several times but am not getting any results.

How come the other method i tried through MiniGW doesn't work well for windows when the steps describe how install for windows?

Anyhow i've been trying to get the environment to work to compile objective c but am not getting anywhere.

Best Regards,

Ala

On Windows is better install each package separately. Make, Base, GUI
and Back. Startup is for gnu/linux users.
