Beginner questions regarding GNUStep on MS Windows and NSLog

Hi,

I bought the book Programming in Objective-C 2.0, then set up GNUStep on 
Windows so that I could compile the examples and write other code.

The first example is a Hello World type of program that uses NSLog to output to 
the terminal.  The book explains that one should compile this program in the 
following manner:

gcc -framework Foundation prog1.m -o prog1

The GNUStep Windows installation doesn't like this, complaining as follows:

  $ gcc -framework Foundation prog1.m -o prog1
  gcc.exe: Foundation: No such file or directory
  cc1obj.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-framework"

So, I copied a GNUmakefile from one of the example applications, and changed it 
to fit the example program as follows:

  include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make
  APP_NAME = prog1
  prog1_OBJC_FILES = prog1.m
  include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/application.make

Now the example program compiles fine when I run make, and it runs without 
error when I run
openapp ./prog1.app
but my "Hello" string is not output to the terminal window I am working within. 
 Does common.make or application.make redirect the NSLog output to somewhere 
other than the terminal?  Is there another reason this might not work as 
expected under M.S. Windows?

Thank you for any suggestions,
Alan
