This probably has a really obvious answer, but I can't seem to find it. I am trying to use Xcode 4 to program with C++, and I want to create a project, build, and run it through Xcode 4 like I do for other languages. My problem is that I can't find the right type of project to do this.

Check this out : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey8LK7P1K94 at 2:30 he creates a C++ project.
Or try this:
- Open XCode.
- File/New Project...
- In the "New Project" Assistant, expand the "Command Line Utility" group.
- Select "C++ Tool"
- Click "Next"
- Give a project name and directory, then click "Finish".
- Press Cmd-Shift-R to open the Console window. Output will appear there.
- Click the "Build and Go" toolbar button.

129. Spend 20 minutes or more figuring out why a brand new project won't build in xcode. I hate xcode... – Ed S. Jun 08 '11 at 16:37

xcode is simply the best IDE for mac. Netbeans is cool, but has bugs with gdb debugger, it get stuck... and that sucks. – Juan Zamora May 24 '14 at 03:17

If you click around in the Mac OS part of New Project, there are a couple of options that I can see with a brief glance. Under Framework & Library there is an STL C++ Library you can access, and then under System Plug-in there's a barebones c++ plug-in you can use.
Is that what you mean, or am I misinterpreting the question?

1That's what I had...and it wouldn't run my project. The command line tool does run it now though. – mrswmmr Jun 08 '11 at 16:48
