Error Compiling Obj-C with GNUstep

Question

I have installed gnustep-base and gnustep-gui from the Arch repo's and am attempting to try and compile some basic Obj-C code, although I am running into errors.
First of all, I am following this tutorial http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Ins … C_on_Linux
Here are the commands that I am using and their output in the terminal.
[devin@devin-linux Objc]$ gcc 'gnustep-config --objc-flags' -lgnustep-base hello.m -o hello
gcc: error: gnustep-config --objc-flags: No such file or directory
[devin@devin-linux Objc]$ gnustep-config --objc-flags

[devin@devin-linux Objc]$
Also, here is the code that I am attempting to execute.
#include <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool* pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSLog(@"Hello world");
[pool drain];
return 0;

Ah, thank you. This is where copying and pasting catches up to you.
