Sorry for not digging deeper in the first place.

After doing make install in gnustep-make, I end up with

/C/GNUstep/System/Libraries
/C/GNUstep/System/Libraries/Resources
/C/GNUstep/System/Libraries/Java

no other folders in Libraries/

Doing make install in ffcall:

$ make install
cd avcall; make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/D/home/Administrator/cvs/ffcall-1.8d/avcall'
if [ ! -d /C/GNUstep/System ] ; then mkdir /C/GNUstep/System ; fi
if [ ! -d /C/GNUstep/System ] ; then mkdir /C/GNUstep/System ; fi
if [ ! -d /C/GNUstep/System/Libraries/ix86/mingw32 ] ; then mkdir
/C/GNUstep/System/Libraries/ix86/mingw32 ; fi
mkdir: cannot create directory
`/C/GNUstep/System/Libraries/ix86/mingw32': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/D/home/Administrator/cvs/ffcall-1.8d/avcall'
make: *** [install] Error 2

It should be sufficient to replace the mkdir calls in the Makefiles with
mkdir -p (or use mkinstalldirs?). Or to force the creation of the
os/arch folders by gnustep-make.

gnustep-libobjc uses mkinstalldirs and thus correctly creates the
folders - but ffcall has to be installed first.

Greetings,
Martin
