Hello,

	I am trying to get the S[ia]mple program from the  
comp.lang.objective-c faq to compile under gcc 2.4 on a Sun sparc 10 (I'm  
not sure if it's running SunOS or Solaris.  I can find out if it's  
important.)  I have a NeXT and the program compiles with no problems  
there.  It Just Works(tm). :-)

	However, when I compile on the sun I get a number of bizarre  
things.  I use 

	gcc -x objective-c -Wall -O2 -o main.o -c main.m

(or real close to that).

First, it complains about the #import directive.  Why?  I understand the  
rational behind what it's saying, but I figure it'd just take it, since  
that's a standard part of Objective-C.

Then it gives me a bunch of warnings about instance variables being  
accessed in class method.  I don't know a whole lot about Objective-C so I  
could easily be missing something here, but I sure don't think so.  After  
all, I didn't write the code.

Then, it complains that printf is implicitly declared.  stdio.h is  
#imported.  Could the complaint about #imports be causing this problem?

Then, it gives me a _whole_ bunch of messages about unterminated string or  
character constant in all of the .o files.  Invalid identifier `@` in  
Stack and unknown escape sequences `\` in Float.o.

	Does any of this sound familiar?  I _think_ all of the libraries  
and include files are connected, but I'm not sure.  Any help is greatly  
appreciated.
