To whom it may concern,
I just reinstalled Windows 10 on my system and I wanted to set it up to have a GNUStep environment. I downloaded and installed all of the Windows installer packages in order (including all of the optional ones) and when I try to launch Project Center or GORM I get a runtime error. Curious as to what was causing the issue, I used the gdb distribution packaged with GNUStep and it was having issues with Cairo. Specifically, “ProjectCenter[6028:9756] NSApplication.m:317 Assertion failed in initialize_gnustep_backend. Can't load object file from backend at path C:/GNUstep/GNUstep/System/Library/Bundles/libgnustep-cairo-025.bundle” is the only visible issue in gdb. I also noticed that the Cairo backend doesn’t seem to have taken effect because when I decided to change the defaults as stated in the installer, there wasn’t even an entry for GSBackend. I am running Windows 10 Pro x64 on an iMac 14,2 with an Intel i7 4771 and an NVidia Geforce 780M GPU (If any of that is necessary). Hope this issue can get fixed up quickly.
Sincerely,
Tyler McLean
