You need a GNUstep makefile like the one Stef showed in his reply and,
for this code (which is plain C) a compiler. When you get into using
the GNUstep libs, which provide a plethora of objects in Objective C,
you'll have to make sure your compiler handles that language. If it
doesn't you'll need to get one. I recommend using the GNU Compiler
Collection, which includes an Objective C compiler along with the C
compiler and others.

Don't worry, we all were :-) But the great thing about GNUstep and the
Objective C language is that it's pretty easy to learn.
