Trouble Running GNUStep on Windows XP

[michael]

Hi everyone. I am new to GNUStep, but have some basic
experience with Xcode on OS X. I decided to see if I
could get one of my Cocoa programs to run on Windows,
so I tired to install GNUStep. Instead of building the
source, I installed the GNUStep core from
ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/windows/base-1.13.1-gui-0.11.0.
Then I downloaded the latest versions of ProjectCenter
and Gorm. I built ProjectCenter with the make install
command and tried to run it by double clicking the
.exe in the ProjectCenter.app folder. It complained of
some .dlls not being found, so I added the following
directories to my path: 
C:\GNUStep\System\Tools
C:\GNUStep\Local\Tools
C:\GNUStep\Development\msys\1.0\mingw\bin
After that I ran it and it seemed to run fine, but it
asked me for a window server and I selected WinDows
server or something like that. After that I was left
with a button with a target and some arrows on it but
pressing it would not do anything. Now when I run the
program I get no button and these errors:
[2244] Exception occured while loading model: attempt
to set non property list for key (BundlePaths)
[2244] Failed to load Gorm
[2244] Could not load Gorm file ...\ProjectCenter.gorm
[2244] Cannot load the main model file
'ProjectCenter.gorm'

Thinking that installing Gorm would fix the problem, I
built it using make install as well. It didn't get
copied to the System/Applications folder of the
install path, so I moved it there manually. It actuall
works better than ProjectCenter, but has some problems
of its own. I did the window server setup like before
with this one but left it on the default NeXTStep
style theme. Its problem starts when choosing new
application. I get a blank window for the application,
but I can't drag anything from the Palette since it
says something like "No Current Document" even though
there is a new window open to work with. And the
console has these errors:
[3392] Exception occured while loading model: expected
object and got unsigned char.
[3392] Failed to load gorm
[3392] NSWindowController: could not load nib named
GormDocument.nib

Trying to open either one with openapp in MinGW
produces an error like this one:
Could not find
/gunstep-install-dir/System/Applications/ProjectCenter.app/
/gnustep-install-dir/System/Applications/ProjectCenter.app/ProjectCenter.exe
executable/script

I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix
my installation or if I need to track down a stable
build. Not really sure where to go from here... 

Thanks In Advance,
Michael
