(Note that I have taken the liberty of clipping the "mimery" from your
message.  It is usually handled funny by my copy of "mh")

I have found the following in the GCC info system:


`FILE.m'
     Objective-C source code.  Note that you must link with the library
     `libobjc.a' to make an Objective-C program work.

`FILE.h'
     C header file (not to be compiled or linked).

(... clipping info on other extensions ...)

   You can specify the input language explicitly with the `-x' option:

`-x LANGUAGE'
     Specify explicitly the LANGUAGE for the following input files
     (rather than letting the compiler choose a default based on the
     file name suffix).  This option applies to all following input
     files until the next `-x' option.  Possible values for LANGUAGE
     are:
          c  objective-c  c++
          c-header  cpp-output  c++-cpp-output
          assembler  assembler-with-cpp


NOTE that this wasn't easy to find from "emacs", since emacs won't
search more than the current text chunk with Control-S.  In info, it
is easier, but info does not work anymore due to not finding curses or
something, so "zcat /usr/info/gcc* | less."

So I would guess you want to use something like:

gcc -o outputfile -x objective-c filename.c -lobjc.a

(I have never done any objective-c myself.)

I'm an artist.  But it's not what I really want to do.  What I really
want to do is be a shoe salesman.  I know what you're going to say --
"Dreamer!  Get your head out of the clouds."  All right!  But it's
what I want to do.  Instead I have to go on painting all day long.

The world should make a place for shoe salesmen.
