8.10 Objective C Support
========================

Automake includes some support for Objective C.

   Any package including Objective C code must define the output
variable ‘OBJC’ in ‘configure.ac’; the simplest way to do this is to use
the ‘AC_PROG_OBJC’ macro (*note Particular Program Checks:
(autoconf)Particular Programs.).

   A few additional variables are defined when an Objective C source
file is seen:

‘OBJC’
     The name of the Objective C compiler.

‘OBJCFLAGS’
     Any flags to pass to the Objective C compiler.

‘AM_OBJCFLAGS’
     The maintainer’s variant of ‘OBJCFLAGS’.

‘OBJCCOMPILE’
     The command used to actually compile an Objective C source file.
     The file name is appended to form the complete command line.

‘OBJCLINK’
     The command used to actually link an Objective C program.
