Hello,
I'm currently not a Mac OS X user in spite of the fact I'll switch as
soon as possible (as soon I have the money ;)).
So I would like to start immediatly to learn Objective-C and I would
like to know if it's possible to develop in Obj-C under Windows or
Linux.
Yes, it is! :)
The gcc compiler includes an Objective-C compiler (Apple's compiler is,
in fact, gcc with some Apple-specific changes, which Apple are busy
merging back into the mainstream gcc).
But you probably want more than just the Objective-C language itself -
you want Cocoa-like class libraries. Those, too, exist, in the form of
GNUStep. Go to <
http://www.gnustep.org/> and you'll find the code and
documentation for how to get a GNUStep development environment up and
running under Linux. Windows support is partially there, too, but not
as mature or complete as on Linux.
Thanks,
Best wishes,
