Objective C for Windows

I know there are several posts about this but I don't feel that any of them fit my scenario. I have been asked to learn Objective-C and write a report over its differences from C/C++ along with develop a presentation for my Programming Languages class. I would like to write a simple program using Objective-C but I do not have access to a Mac. I have a Windows machine and I am looking for an IDE that is not too complex (no need for source control or anything like that) but something that has a compiler (debugger is a plus). Any recommendations on what IDE to use for this? Thanks ahead of time.

    Gcc on Cygwin supports Objective C. There's no IDE though, just a command line compiler, and the run-time library is limited to that of Objective C itself - no Cocoa there. – Seva Alekseyev Nov 10 '11 at 21:43
  • If you're just trying to write a simple program, you probably don't need an IDE. That'd be like using a crane to assemble Lincoln Logs. – Mr. Llama Nov 10 '11 at 21:46

Take a look at MinGW. It contains all the compilers from the GNU Compiler Collection, which includes also the objective-c compiler.

Take at look at GNUstep. I personally never tested it, but it's supposed to suport AppKit, which is the UI Framework for Mac OS X.

Try GnuStep which has an IDE called ProjectCenter. It is aimed at reproducing the NextStep/OpenStep programming experience on multiple platforms, including Windows.
