This isn't much information that you are giving about your problem. Are
you trying to compile an Objective-C project without a GNUmakefile? In
that case better read up about our make system and grab some example
project from the GNUstep pages (any application will do).

Or is your problem as easy as forgetting to source the GNUstep.sh file
before running make?

If you have further problems wiht GNUstep on Windows you could check out
the mail I send to the GNUstep discussion list by the end of last year.
That was when I first tried the new installer and had some problems myself.
