C Programming on the Mac L40 - Running C Programs in Terminal

How to compile and run C programs in Terminal on Mac OS. IMPORTANT: Since our file path is set to the user's home folder by default, these programs will be compiled and saved in your home folder. So you can either change your directory or delete/move the programs that are saved in your home folder.

hey checked this out in a forum:
" The most recent version of Xcode (4.3, released a few days ago) is distributed as a standalone application rather than an installation package. It no longer provides command line tools by default. To install the command line tools, you need to open Xcode's preferences, go to the “Downloads” tab, and install them from there."

I did it and it worked!

Remember guys, if you just installed Xcode a few moments ago... you need to install the Command Line Tools in order for Terminal to recognize these terms- here is the path to download that straight from Xcode.

Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Components > Command Line Tools (Download)

Thanks, you can let me know if this still happens in my more recent tutorials :)

I posted that 1 year ago. I've done all of that since (as well as installing Xcode from AppStore first).

@derekm9292 I know you can zip things from the simulator and send them to someone else and run them. The simulator apps are located in ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Let me know if that helps you out at all.

g++ won't be there either until you install the XCode stuff. And g++ compiles C++, gcc compiles C.

Can I also compile code programmatically into a file and then send a url to the terminal to run it? By the way: Awesome tutorials!

Hey, you use Xcode, whats the difference between Xcode and Jedit (in terms of java, c C++) programming. Thanks!

[DrEnginerd]

where does it save the executable file once its compiled?

[dogdutyascetic]

Is the little variable you create destroyed after you run it?

[AppleProgramming]

@DrEnginerd1 My video description should answer that for you ;)

Hey great channel! I am using 10.5 is there any reason why i wouldn't want to run the product compiled in Xcode because i cant install GCC, i need to upgrade my OS 

[tensonam]

is it possible to get the borland compiler on mac? (bcc32)

[martti]

Good lord, I prefer using my mbp for programming, but not being able to use bloodshed dev-c running the program straight to the command prompt is quite frustrating!

Help! I got the message:
iMac:~ ViRa$ gcc -o test
ld: can't open output file for writing: test, errno=13 for architecture x86_64
