Installing GNUstep on Win32 with gnustep-system-0.24.0-setup.exe and SVN

Hi,

I want to install GNUstep system and development tools: Gorm and Project Center
on my Win32 system.

I have downloaded and installed the gnustep-system-0.24.0-setup.exe.

I have set up the HOME environment variables to C:/ in
Start / Control Panel / System / Spetial (or Advanced?) / Environment
variables...

In the MINGW32 shell I check out the gnustep SVN repository:
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules

So I have now in C:\ the following directories:
C:\GNUstep
C:\modules

Using MINGW32 shell I navigate to
c/modules/core/make

and run the commands:
$ ./configure --prefix=C:/GNUstep
successfully,

$ make
successfully,

$ make install
get error message:
Creating system tools directory: C:/GNUstep/System/Tools
Creating makefiles directories in: C:/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles
Installing GNUstep configuration file in /etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf
/bin/install: cannot open `GNUstep.conf´ for reading: No such file or directory
make: **** [install] Error 1

Why get I this error? What I'm doing wrong?
Any advices will be appreciated!

I would suggest do get both system and core.

I never did anything of the kind.

I don't know. In any case installing the "core" packages will provide
you with everything,it is easier just to update everything, taking care
it will go to overwrite the same file.
That's why I suggest the prefix above. Then compile all core packages
with --with-installation-domain=SYSTEM and install with
make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM install

Adam can tell you more,since he does the windows package.

If you want the latest release, you should install

gnustep-system-0.23.0-setup.exe
gnustep-core-0.23.00setup.exe

and then try to compile Gorm and ProjectCenter.


If you looking to get the latest code from SVN, you can install  
gnustep-system-0.24.0-setup.exe, but then I would configure make with:

   ./configure --prefix=/GNUstep --with-config-file=/GNUstep/
GNUstep.conf

Note, you'll also need to download and install libffi and gnustep-objc

OK
I have downloaded gnustep-objc from SVN in C:\modules\dev-libs\libobjc

so there I can shall install it.

But from where can I download the libffi sources?

Hi Paul,

I found a couple of places - these on on GNUstep ftp even:
http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/libs/

http://www.gtk-server.org/shared/libffi-mingw.zip (precompiled for
mingw)
And last but not least - the original source:
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/libffi/libffi-3.0.8.tar.gz

I had some issues last time I tried to compile libffi on mingw and have
given up that and instead use the ones in the Gnustep windows installer.

Best regards,
Tim
