Re: (Windows) has anyone successfully ship a product build on GNUstep?
I don't know Richard, it's kind of weird. When I was testing my command line test, the file C:\GNUstep\Defaults\.GNUstepDefaults (and the directory hierarchy above it) was created. But... now that I have everything sorted out, I ran my (working now) installer on a newly formatted/installed XP computer and no such file was created. (maybe because of the newly added resource to my project?) While I was reading the code I had the feeling this path was absolutely not changeable. I tried to set the GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT environment value to some other directory, but that didn't work :-/ So the question is: how to set-up the place where the default would be read?

Although this does not include the defaults location. These paths should also be read from the environment as well as a GNUsteprc file (there's an order of precedence to this). See http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/Developer/Base/ Reference/index.html for some information on this. The user's home directory is obtained from the HOMEPATH env variable (I think that is in the MingW instructions?). ___ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep

Curiously my GNUstep product works well on my computer. I build a new test machine (with a newly formatted WindowsXP install) and it just doesn't work (crash when I call [NSColor whiteColor]) As a matter of test I 'installed' GNUstep with the old GNUstep installer. And while I was able to run a program from the MSys command line if I try to run it from dos (equivalent to the users clicking the program's icon) it fails to run. Beside when I looked into NSPathUtilites I see that 'GNUstep' is hard coded, that might be the reason why, after successfully ruun from the command line a new GNUstep directory is created on C:. This is not acceptable and I try to fix it by setting all environment variables which seems appropriate, but non of them fixed the problem :-( pff... jsut to ask if someone as an experience of a successfull windows install and would like to share it. By that I don't mean follows this link: http://wwwmain.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/User/GNUstep/README.MinGW But more like something I could set up with my installer/application, cick on one button and everything is set! ___ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
