RE: projectcenter launch error Windows10

[James d'Authreau]

Hi Riccardo
Thanks but Msys\1.0\home  does not exist, and there is no "home" directory 
anywhere. Projectcenter is located at:
C:\GNUstep\GNUstep\System\Applications\ProjectCenter.app\ProjectCenter.exe
and similarly gorm.

Thanks Germán if you are replicating what I have then the windows 10 
installation is 32 bit, I have no idea if this makes a difference as I can't 
find anything on the website that tells you if projectcenter etc is 64 bit by 
default or not.

James

that is exactly what I thought too! However you imply "home/james" exist...
On my installation it is not inside msys/1.0, but I have an older msys layout 
and only updated gnustep on it.

You can also uninstall ProjectCenter and Gorm and compile them from sources. 
Uninstall first, so that you don't end with duplicate libraries of frameworks, 
since I don't know if we are going just to overwrite them.

copy them "in your msys home" which I hope is what German says is.

You need to unpack the sources first: I suggest toing that inside the shell, 
not in windows.

E.g. get:
ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/dev-apps/ProjectCenter-0.6.2.tar.gz

then do:
tar xzvf ProjectCenter-0.6.2.tar.gz (extract from file, uncompress too and also 
dump prgress on console)

cd ProjectCenter-0.6.2
make && make install

make_services (please note underscore, this is not a make command, it just 
rebuilds the app database and document type associations, can be run everytime 
everywhere)

then just typing ProjectCenter should be enough openapp ProjectCenter should to 
too

if that goes fine, you are set and can continue that way
