Title: Mac C Programming?
Post by: Awesomeness on September 16, 2011, 11:10:16 pm

I have working ndless on my calculator.  How do I program with C in it?  I have basic experience in C; I just need a basic tutorial on how to put a "Hello world" program over.

There are several topics around here, and some information on Hackspire :)

Could you please link to them?  I can't find these topics you speak of :P

It might be a little bit more difficult to do what's detailed in that website on a Mac, though.

You may have to rebuild some stuff by yourself...

For the C programming editor, by the way, I'd recommand XCode.

Than you can link some script to it to automatically compile through the arm toolchain etc.

I don't think it's possible.  Macs don't come with things like make and wget and apt-get.  They're Unix, but weird.

Neither do most flavors of Linux, out of the box :)
apt-get is one of the packaging tools of Debian and derivatives, and most distributions do not include, due to space constraints, build-essentials (or equivalent), in their out of the box configuration. And some distros out there might have curl instead of wget.

On MacOS X, use MacPorts :)

If you install Xcode (Developer Suite), all the things like Make, gcc, gdb etc. will be available.

MacPorts is quite useful indeed, btw

Yes, this is a 100% legit copy of the dev suite.  It may be quite old though.

You can also use LLVM instead of GCC. Have you tried reading the man pages for the tools to figure out how to call them?

Try making a very basic C program in XCode.

Check in the project' settings whether it compile through GCC or LLVM.

 ^ You hould have both if you install a pretty new verion of XCode. (> 3.something I think).


try "locate gcc"  it shoudl be in /usr/bin/... ?
