Need help getting started

[Lorenzo Thurman]

Maybe I'm a little thick, but I don't know how to get applications
installed with GNUStep under Windows XP. I downloaded and installed the
console (MSYS), but I don't know how to proceed from there. I downloaded
a couple of programs to compile and install, but I don't know what to do
with them. I thought I should place them in the C:\GNUStep folder
somehere and then I would compile from the command line, but they don't
show up anywhere inside the console. I've looked at the getting started
guide, but it was no help, so I'm stuck with only the console installed.
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks

If you've download the files to your desktop,  they'd be in a  
directory something like:

/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/username/Desktop

you might want to copy them to your home directory, then compile them  
from there:

cp /c/Documents\ and\ Settings/username/Desktop/*gz $HOME
tar -zxf MyApp.tar.gz
cd MyApp
make
make install

Then from msys, you can start the applications with:

openapp MyApp.app

Thanks, I think I'm rolling now.
