C + GUI + Mac OS
i know c and I want to dev开发者_StackOverflow中文版elop applications with GUI for Mac OS. Where do I start?
Learn Objective-C.
Then pick up Cocoa (and all of the Frameworks that go with it)
- Buy Apple computer
- Install XCode from supplied DVD
- Run Software Update from system menu
- Run XCode
- Select Help menu, select "Developer Documentation"
- Click on any of the many things that say things like "Quick Start" or "Getting Started with XCode".
- Read
- Program
- GoTo 7.
Downloading xcode would be your first step. It's the main development environment for mac development and it's free. Then you'd want to get a book on Cocoa w/ Objective-C or Carbon w/ C. Apple is pushing Cocoa more.
The Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library is yet another option. It is a cross-platform development library that can be used to write GUI-based applications for Mac OS in C.
While there is Carbon, it's a framework that's not first-class going forward. If you want to make sure that you can access all of the features of Mac OS X, you'll want to learn Objective-C and use Cocoa.
I believe all Macs nowadays come with a complete set of development tools. They're not pre-loaded on the Mac, but are in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM package. Alternately, you can go to Apple's site and poke around until you find the development section, and download Xcode. (It'll be the same thing, but possibly a newer version.)
Mac OSX uses a language called Objective-C, which is C extended with OO abilities that are more like Smalltalk than the more usual Simula type (in C++, say). While you don't actually have to use it much, it is how you'll be writing interface code.
Further, it uses the Cocoa framework. There was a framework called Carbon, which was a cleanup and redesign of the pre-Mac OSX Macintosh system facilities, but it's being left behind.
You can find free information on either if you look, or you can buy books on them. Books are probably a better resource to learn from.
You can also try with QT and C++. Try here:
