Installing the Object Compiler c

I wanted to install the c object compiler for ubuntu.
this site was used to install GNUstep on ubuntu. http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Installing_and_Using_GNUstep_and_Objective-C_on_Linux then the commands were written in the following order in the terminal

sudo apt-get install gnustep sudo apt-get install gnustep-devel

then I wrote my sample code and saved it as hello.m

 #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; NSLog (@"hello world"); [pool drain]; return 0; }

then I dialed the terminal

 . /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep. 
 gcc `gnustep-config --objc-flags` -lgnustep-base hello.m -o hello

then an error message appeared that

 gcc: gnustep-config --objc-flags: No such file or directory hello.m:1:23: fatal error: Foundation.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

then i wrote

 sudo apt-get install gobjc

then the terminal showed

 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done gobjc is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 205 not upgraded.

then I compiled again, but it again showed the same error.

 hp@ubuntu :~$ gcc 'gnustep-config --objc-flags' -lgnustep-base hello.m -o hello gcc: gnustep-config --objc-flags: No such file or directory hello.m:1:23: fatal error: Foundation.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

so you need help ..

Try to run:

 gnustep-config --objc-flags

on its own to check if it returns an error or the corresponding gcc flags, etc.

Also, try finding a location for the include directory and adding it explicitly with the -Idir parameter in gcc
