Re: Can't Get Program To Compile--Help

[jokerClay]

Richard,

Thanks for your reply.  I have the Mingw32 shell window and that's where I'm
trying to compile the files.  I do not have a make file though.

Then something is badly wrong ... either things aren't installed properly
(which is pretty impossible if you installed from a package), or you are
doing something wrong.
>From past experience the most likely errors are:

1. Trying to work from a DOS window etc where the environment is not
properly set up.  The package installation process should have left you with
a shortcut labelled 'GNUstep' ... and clicking on that should get you to a
Mingw32 shell window in which you can build software with all the correct
environment variables set up.

2. Trying to build without using gnustep-make to pass the correct arguments
to the compiler.  You should be compiling simply by typing 'make'.  There
are tutorials on using gnustep-make (eg.
