For now, I'm more interested in MSys.  It looks like cygwin has other
problems that cause a crash.  Unless you know how to use gdb and can
make a backtrace of the crash, which would be fine and useful.

Otherwise, I guess I'll have to make a prerelease or something like
that, and place it somewhere for people that want to help stomping more
bugs in GNU Smalltalk's Windoze support.

Hi again,

I think thath the problem is...You talked about you check the name for
one or other behaviour dependent of the name of the exec. Probably, the
function you use to check compare the name with "gst", or "gst-blox",
but, from Windows shell, the name is with the extension included, and
for this, gst <> gst.exe and don't works but if you execute GST from a
comand line without the extension, gst=gst, then works.

As I said, GST works, but I'm unable to run gst-remote:
C:\msys\1.1\local\share\smalltalk\kernel/../scripts/Remote.st:37: C
function not
 defined

and then crash

Or to load Seaside Packages:
C:\msys\1.1\local\bin>gst
GNU Smalltalk ready

st> PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'Seaside'

We are more close :D

Remove lines 34-38 of
C:\msys\1.1\local\share\smalltalk\scripts\Remote.st to fix this.

You need this http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/#downloading

Is not more easy to do something like this: (with relative paths)
- Search this scripts in script folder where gst was called. ifFalse[
- Search this scripts on the same path where gst was called.] ifFalse[
- Search this scripts on scripts fodler when gst binary resides]  
ifFalse [
- Search this scripts on the same path where gst resides] ifFalse[
- Search this scripts on lib folder ........]

With this usage, if you can, for example, do some changes to Remote.st  
for testing purposes, Create a scripts folder with Remote.st and  
change it, and if it fails, you only need to rename it to load the  
"original". What do you think?

Sorry for the ifFalse..I'm on Newbie-Smalltalk-Mode now :D

I'm like a kid with new shoes :D (this is an spanish expression, I  
don't know if it understand in english).
