Fwd: Project Center and Gorm

[Adam Fedor]

Does anyone know what might be causing this issue? On Windows, ProjectCenter starts up, appears to create a window (at least from the log file) and then immediately quits.  I remember something like this happening before, but I’m not sure what it was.

Begin forwarded message:

Gorm and SystemPreferences both show the same results in the Event Viewer and with debugapp. 

(The readline error is just something to stop the beeping in mingw when backspacing; the output was the same when I reverted back to the original .inputrc file)

Well, that doesn’t give as much information as I had hoped.  The log message is pretty normal - it just means that GNUstep is trying to create a window. But it at least shows that ProjectCenter is starting up (and has found all it’s DLLs).  Perhaps you could try debugapp again, but run it like this:

run —GNU-Debug=dflt

which should print out a little more information. Meanwhile, I’ll try to see if there is something I can see in the source that might tell me what is going on. Sorry for all the problems. Window is a particularly difficult platform to understand.

Have you tried starting Gorm and SystemPreferences as well and had the same problem?

Can you check in the “Event Viewer” program to see what messages logs are being sent?  Perhaps that would give a clue why it is not working.

You could also try to debug the program, if you have gnustep-devel installed, you can open a shell and type

debugapp ProjectCenter

run

and it might tell you something (although even then some logs go only to the Event Viewer not to the terminal.)

I'm sorry about all these addendum's.

I think it's important to mention that the error messages are no longer showing after I fiddled with the PATH. It still won't open though.

The PATH is set correctly, and all the DLLs are there. I tried opening ProjectCenter, and I still get the same result; it doesn't open.

Well this seems like a more unusual problem.  Perhaps there is a virus scanner that is preventing the installation to work correctly?

Can you verify that the correct paths are set up?  Start up the GNUstep shell program and type

echo $PATH

You should see /GNUstep/System/Tools and /mingw/bin in the PATH.  Also type

ls /GNUstep/System/Tools

and verify that in fact the dlls are there (ProjectCenter-0.dll), the libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll should be in /mingw/bin

Addendum

I repeated the process and received these two error messages

I uninstalled everything and installed them in that order. Still, nothing. The .exe shows up in the Task Manager, but vanishes without opening.

That’s odd, as I removed everything and then re-installed them on my computer and it worked fine.  Unless something got corrupted when I uploaded them to the website.  I guess I’ll try that next.  What I did:

Install gnustep-msys-system-0.30.0
Install gnustep-core-0.34.0
Install gnustep-cauro-0.34.0 and make sure the “activate cairo” box was checked
Install Gorm-1.2.20-2

Then I went to the START menu and clicked on Gorm and it started right up.
