I have created a small C++ program in Project Builder, How do I compile it so that it runs independently from PB? Is this possible--I know it was in Code Warrior Pro 3--but I would like to be able to do this in OS X without expelling $$$$$$$$$$ .

Thanks,

If you have installed the dev tools, it comes with c++. It'll do the thang

[localhost:~] fahrenba% pic program.c
.lf 1 program.c
#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
cout << "Welcome";
return 0;
}
[localhost:~] fahrenba% c++ program.c
[localhost:~] fahrenba% ./a.out
Welcome[localhost:~] fahrenba%

HTH,

could you explain this in more detail, please. Sorry for my ignorance!

What he means is that there is a command-line program installed by the dev tools installer called "c++".

It is a c++ compiler. By typing "c++ program.c" you compile the program.c file into an "a.out" binary. When you type "./a.out" it will execute this binary.

I think that there is a "-o <name>" option that lets you specify the name of the finished binary but I am not sure.

Does that answer your question?

I think he might want a SIOUX-like app (double-click, it launches and you get a window which you can use to manipulate stdin/stdout). There are no SIOUX libraries under OS X, if you want a commandline app you must use the, uh, commandline

I think that CW Pro 6 does have SIOUX libraries, so if you *REALLY* need to you can buy that, but you'd be better off writing a GUI

thank-you guys! I have it running in the terminal.

It would be nice if someone would create program that would run command-line programs in a window . I'm sure this would be very useful to other students working with C++, too. I would create it, but I don't have experience programming in Objective-C, cocoa, etc. Only C++, REALbasic, PHP, and Javascript. (I would like to learn to write Cocoa apps, though.)

Um, no offense, but why would someone create a program to run command-line programs in a window when all you have to do is open a terminal and run the program?

He's thinking of how CodeWarrior does it - when you run your command line programs, it spawns a window with the output. It's really silly, but I guess it could be kind of reassuring to a novi programmer.

It's not silly when you consider that otherwise there would be no way of getting access to stdin/stdout on Classic (apart from using files, I guess).

I think I'm having a problem with missing header files...

Here's what happened when I tried to compile my program with "c++ virtfunc.cpp":

Any ideas?
