[QUOTE="mbgaski, post: 588345, member: 31056"] Are you looking to specifically compile GUI applications or just work on your programming stuff from school on your Mac? If the latter, you can easily do this without having to mess with Xcode (which can be daunting for someone just getting into programming). Just open up any old text editor (I like Simultron on Mac) and write your code, then save it. Open a Terminal window, navigate to where you saved your filed, and then type: g++ filename.cpp That should produce an a.out binary that you can run by typing ./a.out I'd play around with plain old text based C++ a lot before getting deep into GUI programming. I'm still not very good with Xcode myself, but I have done GUI development for Windows on Borland C++ Builder and having the plain-jain background foundation in place helped a lot there. [/QUOTE]
