Those sound like some very odd problems. I’d have to think that there is something on your system, like a virus scanner, that is preventing parts of GNUstep from running.In the task manager, do you see the program “gdnc.exe” running when you try to run a GNUstep app? If not, perhaps you could try running this by itself to see if there is a reason it is not starting up. From the Shell, typegdnc —verbose —no-forkand see what it says. Perhaps also run some other GNUstep command line programs to see if even basic stuff works, likedefaults readIt would also be good to keep this discussion on bug-gnustep@gnu.org so more people can help solve the problem.On Feb 15, 2014, at 11:22 AM, Beatles Rol <beatlesrol@gmail.com> wrote:<ProjectCenter.evt>I did have another Mingw installed.

No, it’s not that. I get those messages as well, but they don’t affect how GNUstep runs. It must be something else on your system, such as a virus scanner that is affecting things. Do you have cygwin installed? That sometimes causes issues.On Feb 14, 2014, at 2:04 PM, Beatles Rol <beatlesrol@gmail.com> wrote:Tried a /bin/rebase and it said the .dll's were skipped because they weren't rebasable.Could this problem have something to do with Registry Keys?

It doesn’t cause the exact same issues, but it might be useful to rebase all the GNUstep dlls. It’s not installed with the GNUstep installation, but from a shell you can install it:mingw-get install msys-dashmingw-get install msys-rebaseThe readme for using rebaseall is here:On Feb 11, 2014, at 4:19 PM, Beatles Rol <beatlesrol@gmail.com> wrote:Gorm and SystemPreferences both show the same results in the Event Viewer and with debugapp.<error.bmp>(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=dfltwhich 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?AdamOn Feb 11, 2014, at 2:49 PM, Beatles Rol <beatlesrol@gmail.com> wrote:Event Type: WarningEvent Source: ProjectCenterEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 0Date: 2/11/2014Time: 4:21:59 PMUser: N/AComputer: RILEYGANGDescription:The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ProjectCenter ) cannot be found.

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 typedebugapp ProjectCenterrunand it might tell you something (although even then some logs go only to the Event Viewer not to the terminal.)On Feb 10, 2014, at 1:34 PM, Beatles Rol <beatlesrol@gmail.com> wrote: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.

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 typeecho $PATHYou should see /GNUstep/System/Tools and /mingw/bin in the PATH. Also typels /GNUstep/System/Toolsand verify that in fact the dlls are there (ProjectCenter-0.dll), the libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll should be in /mingw/binOn Feb 9, 2014, at 5:59 AM, Beatles Rol <beatlesrol@gmail.com> wrote:AddendumI repeated the process and received these two error messages<ERROR.bmp><ERROR2.bmp>

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.
