Re: ObjectiveC


Great, so at last we know the situation. My question is "What has changed?". I seem to recall ObjcC as part of the 2.95 gcc release, and I'm just wondering if there's is some fundamental difficulty in gcc3 that has caused it's removal?

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to make a package, even if we could. I would like to use ObjC on Cygwin though.

Yep, these are all fascinating arguments.  However, I'm not going to be
including Objective-C into gcc.  I will be breaking out things into
different packages at some point as soon as I get motivated to do so.
It is certainly not impossible for someone to build their own Objective
C package and I certainly wouldn't object to someone else doing it.
