The #import directive, often found in legacy Objective-C code from the
NeXTstep era -- and more recently on code from the Apple MacOS X Cocoa

possible, and even if you use #import, you should protect all your
headers against multiple inclusions. The GCC compiler automatically

As a result, the GCC compiler automatically

annoyed by these warnings and want to use #import (usually for
compatibility with other systems), gnustep-make can disable
these warnings:

@end example
If you are a legacy or MacOS X user, and wonder why #import is
deprecated, please search the web and the GCC and GNUstep mailing list
archives - there are very precise and sound technical reasons.
As of gcc 3.4, this problem has been fixed, so presumable, this warning
is no longer emitted when code is compiled.

This is quite annoying for many people, particularly since almost any
book on Objective-C you read recommends using #import instead of
#include. If you are wondering why #import is deprecated, please
search the web and the GCC and GNUstep mailing list archives - there
are very precise and sound technical reasons.
Due to these problems, the gcc maintainers are seriously considering
removing support for #import altogether in the next release.
If you still like to use #import, you can get rid of these warnings when
you configure gnustep-make, with

You can suppress these warnings when you configure gnustep-make, with

But beware, this may not even work on future versions of the gcc compiler.
