I am trying to learn C++, and I thought that OS X would be the perfect OS to use - Project Builder seems useful, and I have heard that you can compile from the command line. I have two questions:

How do you compile from the command line?

If I want to make a simple C++ program in ProjectBuilder, what kind of project do I make? I tried a Carbon Application, but it didn't work (wouldn't compile).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ditch C++ and learn Objective C instead,it's a much better language.Project Builder doesn't have very good C++ support at this tme and its doubtful that it will,there's no reason to,as I said before Objective C is the superior language,and native to Project Builder and Interface Builder.

g++ finename.cpp //from the terminal

./a.out // to run

The command on a plain vanilla OS X installation is actually c++

you can also specify the output filename by the following syntax:
c++ -o myprog myprog.c
