Compiling Objective-C - A Short Guide

[MortenMacFly]

Thanks, but he said that "he is compiling using TDM-GCC x64 4.5.1 on Windows 7" for Objective-C

Yes, so then don't use OSX SDK dependencies, cause even if you are using an Objective/C compiler on Windows, this won't work otherwise. Surely you can create any projects that do not depend on the OSX SDK. That wasn't my point.

 Oh got your point now, but then what's the alternate of THESE frameworks, because we need them to compile obj C

Hello! First of all, I would like to thank for the guide.

I would like to clarify that my English is very bad, and try to translate my question here. 

When trying to compile the example of your setup guide, throws me the following error:

No that's what I do, might help me please.

Thanks in advance.

I know it's old but need.

How to add -x objective-c++ on .mm files compilation and -x c++ to .cpp files compilation?

I tried to modify the xml compiler options but I've no success with that.

[Miguel Gimenez]

Try in compiler global settings, clicking in the "Advanced options" button.

Works even for C files in cpp project, must add an option with -x c.
