Is there an objective C compiler for MS Windows? I'm afraid I'm stuck with it for the time being.

If you just want to experiment, there's an Objective-C compiler for .NET (Windows) here: http://www.qckapp.com/index.html?p=ObjC

You can use Objective-C with one of the compilers already mentioned, but that alone is not going to allow you to build "Cocoa" applications per se. "Cocoa" is a "framework" or set of prewritten classes and methods (in C they call them "functions") that is unique to the Mac OS X platform. Unfortunately, you will not be able to program applications that use Cocoa from your Windows box.

While I can't answer that question with a definite I'm reasonably certain: yes.
Firstly Obj-C support is built into GCC which as a cross platform compiler should run on Windows.
GNUStep is an open source effort to clone the old OpenStep frameworks which became Mac OS X when Apple bought NeXT. See http://www.gnustep.org/
You might need to use cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) which is a set of a dll and other tools to allow you to compile and run otherwise UNIX only programs.
I know this is the Mac OS X section but it's a worthy question, and so I for one would be interested to know how you get on.
