Setup OC integrated development environment under WINDOWS

Objective-c is an Apple software programming language that wants to learn, debug, and have an integrated development environment (IDE) handy. There are three types of methods for building OBJECTIVE-C's integrated development environment:

1) using the Apple platform, the integrated development environment uses Xcode. But if you don't have an apple platform and want to learn objective-c in a Windows environment, there are two ways to do this:

2) set up an Apple virtual machine in the Windows environment, but this is a high performance requirement for the PC, not all PCs can, and the virtual machine is running slower;

3) adopt the Codeblocks IDE development environment, configure it, build an integrated development environment that supports OBJECT-C compiling, debugging and running. This method is almost not required for the performance of personal computers and can be built quickly, this article describes this method.

 

1. Install object-c compiler

Objective-c has a lot of compilers, this article describes the use of GNUstep, the URL is http://www.gnustep.org/experience/Windows.html, where you can download the Windows version of the GCC compiler:

Go to the download page and download the above 3 packages for installation, such as installing to D:\GNUstep. About the role of these 3 packages, can be queried online, no longer repeat.

 

2, installation of OBJECT-C integrated development environment

We chose to use the Codeblocks IDE as the integrated development environment for OBJECTIVE-C, which is:http://www. Codeblocks. org/.

 

3. Development environment Configuration

Through the configuration of code blocks, step by step to complete the construction of the OBJECTIVE-C development environment. Codeblocks, you can see such a picture:

First Step: Configure the compiler

Enter Settings->compiler anddebugger..., select the GNU GCC Compiler compiler, press the "Copy" button, and rename "GNUstep MinGW Compiler" and save.

 

then enter Other Options Paging, entry :

-fconstant-string-class=nsconstantstring-std=c99

 

Step Two: Connector settings linkerstettings

Add two files to the connection library (link Libraries).

They are below the D:\GNUstep\GNUstep\System\Library\Libraries:

Libgnustep-base.dll.a

Libobjc.dll.a

 

 

Step Three: Specify Search directory Searchdirectories(requires pre-installed GNUstep)

 

1) Compiler(compiler) set to D:\GNUstep\GNUstep\System\Library\Headers;

 

 

2) Linker(connector) set to D:\GNUstep\GNUstep\System\Library\Libraries;

 

Fourth Step: Add objective-c file type support

1) enter settings->environment ... , select Files Extension Handling Add *.M .

2) enter project->projecttree->edit file Types & Categories ... , in Sources, add *.m below to the list of file types.

3) enter settings->editor ... , select Syntaxhighlighting, click "filemasks ...." button to add *.m to the file type at the end of the popup box .

 

 

4) Click "Keywords..." Button ( close to filemasks ... Button ) to add the following object-c keyword to the editkeywords list:

@interface @implementation @end @class @selector @protocol @public @protected ID BOOL YES NO SEL Nil NULL Self

 

4. Code Testing

Once the above development environment configuration is complete, you can begin the code test.

First, create a new project, select file->new->project ..., a project type window will appear, select Console application, then follow the construction guidelines to establish a mytest project, and rename the Main.c file to MAIN.M, enter the following code:

#Import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main (int argc, const char *argv[])

{

nsautoreleasepool *pool =[[nsautoreleasepool alloc] init];

NSLog (@ "%@", @ "HelloWorld");

[Pool drain];

return 0;

}

 

Then start the compile run:buid–> Run ... If the following window appears, congratulations, you have successfully built the OBJECTIVE-C integrated development environment under Windows.
