Aside from what everyone posted, see also this old post of mine in case you
want to get everything to work with stock Debian packages:
http://blog.vucica.net/2010/12/getting-objective-c-2-0-to-work-on-debians-gnustep-with-clang.html


I last tried this... back in December 2010, obviously.

It would be a really good idea, however, to build as much stuff from source
if you want to do GNUstep development.
