Re: printf: doens't print on WinXP installation

[Adam Fedor]

Oh, yes - you are trying to compile this as an Application.  In that  
case, GNUstep adds some special flags to keep Windows from trying to  
output stuff to a command window.  If you really want to see the  
output of printf, you'll have to compile it as a tool:

TOOL_NAME=HelloWorld
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/tool.make

or you could use NSLog (but that goes to the Windows system log unless  
you are using gdb).
