Details:

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:
$ debugapp gorm

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #58837 (project gnustep):

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.

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #58837 (project gnustep):

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
