Apple Computers!

Ok, i have a mac computer and im trying to get C++ to work...

I have XCode tools and the C++ compiler but i need something like bloodshed or Wind River since it comes with all the background connection.

I would really appreciate any help on this subject! Even if no such program exists for apple, i would still appreciate if someone could help me learn how to use XCode.

Thanks =D

Re: Apple Computers!

XCode is really a great IDE and as far as I've found, has about everything you'll need to get going. I'm not quite sure I understand what you're going for here, though. (I'm also not sure if this is the right place for non-FRC programming questions, but I'll go with it for now).

I'm not sure why you're referencing Wind River and Bloodshed. XCode has everything you need. Apple also has a large amount of documentation on getting started in developing, although I'll warn you that the traditional way of going about Apple GUI coding and such is through Objective-C - probably not what you want.

You might like to try starting here: http://developer.apple.com/mac/libra.../qt_intro.html

I don't think Bloodshed (You're referring to their Dev-C++ package, right?) ever released a mac-compatable IDE. If you wanted alternatives, you could try Code::Blocks (my personal favorite, but less features than XCode and the others) or Eclipse (The IDE you might be used to from FRC programming this past year).

Hope I've been some help.

Re: Apple Computers!

Thanks so much.

I'll try out the Code::Blocks and see if it can be easier to use.

For now my guess is that i just need to learn how to use the XCode app.

Never really touched it till now. I'm mostly used to working on Eclipse with java so the new language might be a plus.

And i apologize if this is in the wrong place, it's really my first time here and im not sure what goes where. Just kind of figured under programing.

Re: Apple Computers!

Windriver is eclipse and some extensions. I don't remember where, but I remember reading someone who got Eclipse and the compiler, and copied some files that it needed, and sucessully ran "Windriver" on linux

Re: Apple Computers!

If you want to write code for your robot on your mac native, the only recommended way to do so is with Netbeans and Java.

Re: Apple Computers!

Well i successfully got all the files i supposedly need for the robot onto my xcode program, but when i built the project it came up with over 10000 errors such as "vxWorks.h:No such file or directory" and many more of the same context, it seems like im supposed to have more files that im not getting? lol

Also i'm fine with java but my team is not sure how to get that working for practice coding of last years robot, so there just trying t stick with C for the moment.

Re: Apple Computers!

You should borrow a fellow programmer's windows pc/laptop and open WindRiver and view the compiler settings and flags. Those are really important.

I'm pretty sure though, that the gcc that comes with XCode is incompatible. Otherwise, WPI and FIRST would have gone that route since then they don't have to have any new software CD/Downloads (except maybe minor patches to XCode) since XCode is on Apple's website, and is also on OSX disks.
