How to make path for gnu on windows

Just recently I installed the following programs on window 7 GNUstep msys, GNUstep core, GNUstep devel, GNUstep backend to learn objective C.

I wrote a piece of code just to print “Hello world” and saved it in a folder called “objectivec” with .m exten开发者_运维技巧sion (first.m). Then in the shell cmd window i changed the directory to objectivec by typing cd c:/objectivec then to compile it I typed gcc –o first first.m after the dollar ($)sign but it keeps showing me gcc.exe No such file or directory gcc.exe No input files Should I create a path first either in user variable or System variable in enviroment variables? If so will you please tell me what should i do to solve the problem. Thanks

First you should use the MSYS shell installed with the GNUstep packages. The cmd window will not work as far as I know.

Second I would suggest to use GNUstep Makefiles to compile your code. Invoking the compiler manually is usually error prone.

A Tutorial on how to write these Makefiles can be found here for example.
