I have no C++ experience and want to learn. I have XCode but the IDE confuses me and seems far too advanced for my current level.
I'm starting with this http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/program_structure/
// my first program in C++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
I entered it into SublimeText2 using the C++ formatting and then saved the file in
Ryan>Desktop>ApplicationDevelopment>Sandbox as helloworld.cpp
I have XCode installed and found How to run C/C++ in a Unix console/Mac terminal?
I went to terminal, navigated to the directory it is in and tried:
make helloworld.cpp
It returned:
make: Nothing to be done for 'helloworld.cpp'
Update, hopefully the below formatting is clear
$ g++
i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1: no input files
$ g++ helloworld.cpp -o outputname.bin
$ (nothing returned)
$ g++ helloworld.cpp helloApp ./helloApp
i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1: helloApp: No such file or directory
i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1: ./helloApp: No such file or directory
$ g++ helloworld.cpp -o helloApp ./helloApp
ld: in ./helloApp, can't link with a main executable
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
