I am trying to learn Objective-C using Cygwin.
First I wrote a hello world program in C and compiled it thus:
gcc -o inventry inventry.c
and it worked perfectly.
Then I renamed the source file inventory.m, and since every C program
should be a valid Objective-C program, compiled it thus:
gcc -o inventry inventry.m -lobjc
and got the following error:
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1obj': execvp: No such file or directory
I did a web search of that error message, and found that I needed to
install gobjc. I could not find gobjc on the installer package from the
mirror site from which I had originally installed cygwin, so I got it from
a site called "ubuntu" and installed it.
You can't do this. Cygwin != Linux!
Now I get the following error:
gcc: error trying to exec '/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/cc1obj':
execv: Exec format error
I did a web search of that error, and found something that said that
cygwin was not installed properly and needs to be reinstalled. I assume
that means that the version of gobjc that I installed from "ubuntu" was
not compatible with my cygwin installation.
So how do I get gobjc from the standard installer package? I don't see it
listed in the list of packages to install?

Install gcc4-objc.
