Done.
Does not work : same errors.

So GNUstep becomes an Unix-like environment. That's bad.
Do you mean i also have to put my /home directory and my source
files where you think they should be ?

Even my MSYS/mingw installation is not 'standard' as i use some
msys-links :
  / is C:\Dev\msys\1.0
  /mingw is C:\Dev\MinGW\mingw
  /usr/local is C:\Dev\MinGW\local
Should that work with GNUstep or do I have to reinstall the
whole thing ?
