5. Obtaining GNUstep
5. Additional Useful Tools [Optional]
=====================================
If you want to install GNUstep from Subversion, you need a Subversion
client. You can get
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/35379/svn-1.4.2-setup.exe
and install subversion in any directory you want. Then you can run
svn.exe from the MS-DOS console (or the MSYS one).
If you need Emacs, get a Windows version from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-21.3-bin-i386.tar.gz. To
install it, simply unpack it in your home directory, you can now
execute the binary in 'bin'.

./configure --with-layout=mingw
make

8. setup your GNUstep environment
=================================
NB: you will need to do the same every time you start up your MSYS
shell to do development
. /C/xxx/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
Also, set HOMEPATH, HOMEDRIVE and HOME ... add the following lines to
your ~/.profile:
export HOMEDRIVE=C:
export HOMEPATH=/home/Nicola
export HOME=/C/xxx/msys/1.0/home/Nicola
. /C/xxx/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
(obviously replacing 'Nicola' with your Login name) (not sure if this
setting of HOMEDRIVE etc is really required, will investigate)
NOTE: Sometimes the HOME variable may already be set by Windows to be
%USERPROFILE% (which is the Windows variable that contains the path of
your home folder). MSYS has problems with that as it doesn't recognise
that %USERPROFILE% is a variable name. Be sure to check that if you run
into errors.
MinGW comes with a buggy 'ln -s' and Makefiles are no longer
installed into $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Makefiles so there is
no compatibility symlink to $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Makefiles
Nothing to do here since we're using the mingw native layout.

11. Installing additional packages
=======================
==================================
Download the following packages:
libintl-0.11.5-2.bin.zip
libintl-0.11.5-2.lib.zip
(important: libintl-0.14.4 is untested, use 0.11.5 to be safe)
libintl-0.14.4.bin.zip
libintl-0.14.4.lib.zip
libiconv-1.8-1-bin.zip
libiconv-1.8-1-lib.zip
libiconv-1.9.2-bin.zip
libiconv-1.9.2-lib.zip
zlib-1.2.2-bin.zip
zlib-1.2.2-lib.zip
zlib-1.2.3-bin.zip
zlib-1.2.3-lib.zip
from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net, and install them. To
install them, simply unzip them into /C/xxx/msys/1.0/mingw.
12. XML support
===============
You need to get the source code for libxml2 and build it yourself ...
but first you must fix the symbol information in libiconv so you can link to it.
cd /mingw/lib
mkdir backup-libiconv
mv libiconv.la backup-libiconv
mv libiconv.lib backup-libiconv
dlltool -D libiconv-2.dll -C -l libiconv.lib --export-all-symbols -A ../bin/libiconv-2.dll
Then you can remove the backup-libiconv directory and its
contents if all has worked.
Now download the libxml2 source from http://www.xmlsoft.org
I used libxml2-2.6.23.tar.gz

all running GNUstep programs or services (i.e. gdomap, gdnc, gpbs) since
Windows cannot overwrite files that are currently in use.
If you pass any include (-Ixxx) paths to GCC, make sure they do *not*
end with a slash. The current GCC/MinGW releases have a bug where
such paths would be ignored.
Where we specify specific versions of packages to be used, we have tested
with those versions ... later or earlier versions may work, but may well not.
Generally earlier versions should be assumed not to work.
