gcc-4.2: error trying to exec 'cc1obj': execvp: No such file or directory

[FreeCare]

Hi,

I am trying to compile an objective c program from a terminal with this line:

gcc main.m -o Prog1 -l objc

and also this one

gcc-4.2 main.m -o Prog1 -l objc

both give this error

gcc-4.2: error trying to exec 'cc1obj': execvp: No such file or directory

I have both gcc and gcc-4.2 installed and have run apt-get install build-essential but still have the same error.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks

Re: gcc-4.2: error trying to exec 'cc1obj': execvp: No such file or directory

your question has taken me to my reference books as I have not used gcc or c for a very long time but shouldn't the -o come immediately after gcc? The name for the target program comes next then the name of the source code programme so

gcc -o Prog1 main.m (sorry I can't read the next letter on my screen)

but your best bet is to read the online documentation at

http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/onlinedocs/

hope this helps.

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I tried your way to no avail. The snippet I posted is as it appears in the book I am studying with, Programming in Objective C by Stephen Kochan.

I searched and searched and came across a post out there in web land that mentioned the need for gobjc to be installed.

So I looked up gobjc-4.2 and it was not installed!

Installed it and hey presto it works!
