Hello again all...
First... again my thanks to everyone who has responded to my posts and
helped me get started with programming under Mac OS X.
I went to the bookshop today to see if I could find any of those books
you all recommended. The only one I could find (on a Sunday in
Brisbane Australia) that any of you recommended is "SAMS Teach Yourself
C in 24 hours". by Tony Zhang. Looks good and I'm ready to start
writing my first C program! :-D
Problem is, it's written for Windows and has all the instructions for
Microsoft's and Borland's C compilers, but of course I want to do it on
my Mac!
I think I understand that I can write the code in any plain text
document (Do I have to use vi or can I do it in TextEdit or the like?).
Once I've done that though, can anyone tell me the basics of compiling
said text files?
I did basic Unix, and Pascal at university 10 years ago, and I can
remember enough unix for basic navigation in the terminal (things like
ls, cd, and what . and .. mean) and I understand basically how to use
the man command, if I know the name of the command I want to learn
about. But as for compiling/running C programs in the terminal I'm at
a loss.
Would anyone mind filling in these gaps for me please?
Also, just for fun, does the Mac OS X unix include a Pascal compiler?
Or is that something extra?
Thanks again everyone for all your help.
David Thorp.
Sydney/Brisbane, Australia.
