Programming Software on OS X disc?

[scan]

I heard from someone that there is programming software on the OS X disc. I need something to compile C code. What am I looking for?

Install XCode

You'll find GCC that will be able to compile your code for you.

Without more about what you are trying to do, I can't help you any further.

Max.

Yes...or download the latest version from the apple developer site.

use this:

1. save your file
2. open terminal
3. cd into the directory your file is in
4. type the following into terminal, replacing <filename> with your filename:

gcc <filename>.c -o <filename>

or for C++ files:

g++ <filename>.cpp -o <filename>

the bit after the -o is the name the compilation will be named

GCC won't work unless you've installed Xcode already, or a separate version of GCC. Just use the Xcode install that comes with your OS X CDs.

I did that and everthing works perfectly. I'm loving OS X more and more everyday. would never find any compilers on Windows
