Is something wrong with my GNUstep compiler?

Question

I tried to compile this code:

// Frist program example 

#import Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv [])
{
  NSAutoreleasePool * pool - [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
  NSLog (@"Programming is fun!");

  [pool drain];
  return 0;
}

but when I type in the filename an error message shows up from the compiler:

./prog1.m: line 1: //: is a directory
./prog1.m: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token '('
./prog1.m: line 6: 'int main (int argc, const char *argv [])'

It would help if you added how you are invoking the compiler or if you are using a GNUstep Makefile. — MKroehnert, Jul 27 '11 at 13:28

You've got a - where you want a =!

Try this:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv [])
{
  NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
  NSLog (@"Programming is fun!");

  [pool drain];
  return 0;
}

And an open angle in the import statement. Also the NSString literal should read @"Programming is more fun if you copy/paste" – Firoze Lafeer Jul 13 '11 at 18:10
Thanks, Firoze! Didn't even catch the bracket. – Jonathan Sterling Jul 13 '11 at 18:47
Thanks, but it still says ./prog1.m: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token '(' ./prog1.m: line 6: 'int main (int argc, const char *argv [])' – ivy Jul 13 '11 at 20:40
@ivy The problem must be somewhere else in your code, then. I just tested this, and it compiles just fine. – Jonathan Sterling Jul 13 '11 at 20:56
