- 13" Late 2008 Macbook 2.4 Core 2 duo 8G Of Ram 240G OWC SSD
Im running a late 2008 macbook pro with 4g ram and Mavericks. Not that it has anything to do with my questions, I thought it might effect your answers though. So anyway, I have been building/developing on linux for several yers but Mac is a totally new experience when it comes to using xcode. I honestly have messed around with it and tried to teach myself the basics which is my normal MO but I have to admit, I'm stumped. Here is all I woud like to know for now: When you download a source package and open xcode by selecting the project file in the downloaded archive, is xcode immediately going to configure, compile, and run that package?(BTW, I refer to default behavior only in all I discuss here.) Next, once you have built a package, or complied it, where is it? I cannot find anything that says install or create app or anything like that. Does xcode install a built package? Even if it doesnt install it, I am still unable to find the complied package after it says it built ok. This is the main part that is confusing me. I am making certain, of course, that the target is right etc..I guess what would be great is if some one could give me a little (./configure && make && make install) instructions for xcode. I just want the utter basicsa on what I need to do to build a program that will have no issues from source and install it. Any help would be beyond appreciated as I just cannot find this anywhere.
