Hey! I finally got to compile gcc-4.8.2 with objc and objc++ enabled. Now, I tried to compile a test programm: #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> #include <stdio.h> @interface Test : NSObject { int foo; } - (void)SayHi; @end @implementation Test - (void)SayHi { printf("You made it into objc."); } @end int main(void) { Test *iTest; iTest = [[Test alloc] init]; [iTest SayHi]; } And this is what I get: root@Ingwies-Air ~/Work/objc $ gcc -framework Foundation test2.m In file included from /usr/include/os/object.h:74:0, from /usr/include/dispatch/dispatch.h:48, from /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Headers/CFStream.h:15, from /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Headers/CFPropertyList.h:13, from /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Headers/CoreFoundation.h:55, from /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/Foundation.h:6, from test2.m:1: /usr/include/objc/NSObject.h:21:26: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘OBJC_ARC_UNAVAILABLE’ - (struct _NSZone *)zone OBJC_ARC_UNAVAILABLE;
