Re: PorjectCenter Building error: Can't find make

[nicolas . guerineau64]

Hi Germán,

Thanks for your help, and a so easy command such as "make".

Do you know whois updating the "windows installer" web page to update it with 
this information (need to set the "make" path first by going into 
Info->Preferences, then close projectcenter and then, using the shell go to 
program directory and type "make"). Maybe adding some basic shell command such 
as 
"cd c:"
"cd NomProgramm.app" (to go into directory that contains the compiled app
"cd.."
"./ProgramName.exe" to start it.

Regards,
Nicolas

P.S: I will download the new "package" of GNUstep + ProjectCenter + Gorm + Gema 
and keep you informed.

Hi Nicolas

I investigated this some months ago, and the problem is that the native
function to start a process on Windows imposes a limit in the length of
arguments passed to the make tool (or any other tool). When make tool is
launched, it searches the rules to build GNUstep projects. Those
instructions are so large that at some point the tool reach the limit,
and then the process stop abruptly.

So the only solution is start the shell (the shell installed by gnustep)
and run "make" at the project directory. Something like:

cd your_project_directory
make

Germán

PS: For a more updated version of GNUstep for Windows, you can use this
installer:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mb4m65spkuf3o0f/GNUstep-1.0.exe?dl=0

It contains SystemPreferences, Gorm and Gemas [1]. And use WINUXTheme by
default.
