[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1089166, member: 89124"] Hi! welcome to the forums. 1) gcc or g++ will do - you may need to install xcode which is included on the OS distribution DVD. If you can't locate your DVD you can always download the latest version from Apple. XCode contains all of the development tools for OSX. If you want to use gcc/g++ thru the command line, just launch Terminal - it's under: Applications->Utilities 2) You have multiple options: a) Use xcode to create and build your projects (xcode is a full ide for OSX GUI, iOS, and command line tools) b) Use Text editor (yuck) to create your source files, make sure in Format dropdown you set to Make Plain Text - that will stop the annoying rtf. c) Use a tool like JEdit that has syntax highlighting and auto indentation for various languages to make reading code easier d) Use vi in the command prompt to edit your source files.
