Or, you could not install gutters at all and work on the ground

P.S. When a gutter gets plugged up with leaves and fills up with
water it gets HEAAAAAVY. Just something to keep in mind. You got
8.33 lb per gallon of water.

And how would that help the rain from blowing in his open door?

It doesn't. But every solution is going to be a less-than-perfect
compromise. The OP is going to have to pick out which compromise
suits him best. Some rain is going to blow in no matter what you do.

You could screw the gutter to the roof tin with self drilling sheet metal
screws and little 'L' brackets. THEN to support the outer part of the
gutter, you'd need some straps like they use on conventional roofs without
eaves and facia boards.

Another possible solution would be some rather large "L" brackets fashioned
onto the WALL, and then let the gutter actually SIT on the brackets. I
suppose they could even be 2x4 wood, depending on how you want things to
look. Of course all these options could be painted to match the wall/ roof.
