I run ranlib manually. From ffcall installation output I see:
...
/usr/bin/install -c -m
644 .libs/libcallback.a /home/stevko/Developer/Windows//lib/libcallback.a
ranlib /home/stevko/Developer/Windows//lib/libcallback.a
chmod 644 /home/stevko/Developer/Windows//lib/libcallback.a
...

the ranlib line should read:
i586-mingw32-ranlib /home/stevko/Developer/Windows//lib/libcallback.a

Looks like misconfiguration of ffcall or a bug there.

Then I used this configure command with --includedir and --libdir added:

address@hidden base]$ ./configure --host=i586-mingw32
--prefix=/home/stevko/Developer/Windows/GNUstep --enable-ffcall
--with-ffi-include=/home/stevko/Developer/Windows/include/
--with-ffi-library=/home/stevko/Developer/Windows/lib/
--includedir=/home/stevko/Developer/mingw/include/
--libdir=/home/stevko/Developer/mingw/lib

I ended with:
 Compiling file NSPathUtilities.m ...
NSPathUtilities.m: In function `NSHomeDirectoryForUser':

It is too late now, i have to go to sleep. If anyone has any hints what
should be done and what should do as next steps, let me know. I am also
interested in the GNUstep.sh problem mentioned before.
