Hey Jack, just an update on this.  Myself and Riccardo Mottola have been working on supporting MSYS2.  Additionally the installer you are using is VERY VERY old so I am not surprised there are issues with it.  Please keep your eye on the mailing list as I am making progress on a new installation script which should make it much easier to get things working on Windows. :)

It cannot be used on windows xp. I now try to move the wrong directory mingw to msys on windows7 x64, and it works normally!
I hope the official can solve the problem of the wrong path of the GNUstep Cairo 0.35.0 installation package, the path of GNUstep\mingw is wrong, and there is no readme file in GNUstep Cairo

I tried to use Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10 didn’t work, and I couldn’t run gorm and projectcenter. The operating system and gnustep were all newly installed. I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible. It seems that the last update has been nearly 4 years.

Hello, I downloaded the latest version from http://www.gnustep.org/windows/installer.html, gorm and projectcenter cannot run after installation, the installation order is GNUstep MSYS System 0.30.0 -> GNUstep Core 0.35 .0 -> GNUstep Devel 1.4.0 -> GNUstep Cairo 0.35.0 -> ProjectCenter 0.6.2-35 -> Gorm 1.2.22-35.
After my preliminary judgment, I think that the installation package of GNUstep Cairo has a wrong path. A mingw folder will be generated in the installation directory.It says that libcairo-2.dll cannot be found. I tried to move these files to the correct path (GNUStep/mingw/* -> msys/1.0/), but it doesn't work. It seems that there is a problem with libffi-6.dll.

I try to use debugapp:
