Ingolf,

thanks for the info. I will try the procedure and see if I get it to build under Windows with the setting you described. Do you know if GNUStep does also support the @synchronize() statement with this setting?

Hi all,

I am new to GNUStep. I just started porting a Mac OS X app to windows
using the binary GNUStep release that I downloaded from GNUStep.org.
Compiling works fine, except for the parts of the code that use
Obejctive-C's native exception mecahnism with <at> try/ <at> catch. Is it
possible to compile this with GNUStep?

Yes, you can. I haven't tried it out with windows, but on Linux it works. You just have to configure make with the option "--enable-native-objc- exceptions". (As this is so far not on by default it isn't in the binary release either, so you have to compile GNUstep yourself, but as windows releases are unfortunally seldom and thus often out-of-date you probably have to stick to that anyway in
order to work sensibly.)
Just follow the building instructions in the README.MinGW file of the make
package or on the wiki page
http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Installation_on_Windows (in doubt the readme is more up-to-date) and add the above option to the "./configure" phase of the
make package.
Building by hand on windows is a somewhat lenghty process. But it is mostly
cut-and-paste from the howtos.
I hope this helps you.

Ingolf
