Xcode and its Command Line Tools Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Xcode is a great GUI IDE application that comes with Macs “out of the box” (quite often). In the earlier versions … think maybe less than 4 … “out of the box” it lived with C and C++’s great gcc compiler … have talked about this before … raved<\/a> perhaps??!!! … anyway … that went away with the later versions … but you can get it back. Why bother? If you like to look around and do those great command line offerings like Tcl\/Tk or just plain simple C (like we do in this tutorial), as well as leaving your Xcode GUI C++ and Objective-C iOS mobile development intact, then think you should install Xcode Command Line Tools, like, yesterday, if you haven’t already.<\/p>\n

Remember at the end of the month to say “hares” as your last word and “rabbits” as the first word of the next month.<\/p>\n

Do we need to explain?<\/p>\n

Butterflies in Brazil and all … why buck what the whole world’s doing? … chortle, chortle.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this action opens a pandora’s box of possibilities with your Mac, and hope if you are in this position … you can test if you are by attempting to go gcc<\/i> at the Mac Terminal bash command line … how’s the coffee? (if PM, how’s the daquiri?)<\/p>\n

To get started, visit this stupendous link<\/a>. Then get into Xcode and go to Xcode->Preferences…->Downloads (and hopefully you see the Command Line Tools install button to press … press with both hands, either hand, while doing a triple pike, but … just … do … it!)<\/p>\n

If this was interesting you may be interested in this<\/a> too.<\/p>\n
