My tests need to be in objective-c, so later on I can implement a GUI lib to
be used from the compiler. On a final steps we may consider (don't know if
this is possible or not, to include our compiler in xcode).



When you get to the point of providing a full UI around this compiler, you will want to make that UI a full-fledged application, and probably a separate application from the compiler. So... don't worry too much about it now. Just get your compiler working. Treat your project as a "Cocoa shell tool" and don't expect too much GUI behavior.


The compiler architecture and language is quite similar to Microsoft Visual
FoxPro. You may review more info at www.harbour-project.org


I appreciate all the help you may provide me. Thanks,

Whatever the architecture, it will probably be very useful for you to separate the UI from the compiler. In the end you might end up using Cocoa's distributed objects mechanism to communicate between your GUI application and the compiler process.
