Compiling an Objective-C Program

I am having trouble compiling the following program. I am using "gcc -framework Foundation inherit8.1m" and am getting the following errors. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

ld warning: in inherit8.1m, not required architecture file Undefined symbols: "_main" referenced by: start at crt1.10.5.o ld: symbol not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

// Simple example to illustrate inheritance


#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

// ClassA declaration and definition

@interface ClassA: NSObject
{
   int  x;
}

-(void) initVar;
@end

@implementation ClassA
-(void) initVar
{
  x = 100;
}
@end

// Class B declaration and definition

@interface ClassB : ClassA
-(void) printVar;
@end

@implementation ClassB
-(void) printVar
{
  NSLog (@"x = %i", x);
}
@end

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
   NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

   ClassB  *b = [[ClassB alloc] init];

   [b initVar];     // will use inherited method
   [b printVar];    // reveal value of x;

   [b release];

   [pool drain];
   return 0;
}

Try renaming your original file to something that only ends in .m. Your file has a .1m extension which seems to be confusing the compiler.

You named your file incorrectly. It should be inherit8.m, not inherit8. 1 m.

I found it easier to use GNUmakefile on Linux (not sure if this is your case). I have a command line tool LogTest

compiled from source.m

:

> cat source.m
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(void)
{
    NSLog(@"Executing");
    return 0;
}

> cat GNUmakefile
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make

TOOL_NAME = LogTest
LogTest_OBJC_FILES = source.m

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/tool.make

> make
Making all for tool LogTest...
 Compiling file source.m ...
 Linking tool LogTest ...

> ./obj/LogTest
