Hey,

I learnt C++ on Borland C++. Now I have shifted to mac and am using Eclipse, which is good, but not quite the same.

I read somewhere that we can write a program in TextEdit and compile and link it via terminal?

Can anyone tell me how to do that? Please go step by step and very detailed.

Thanks

In order to get gcc and g++ to work from the command line you need to:

Download and install XCode (free from the app store)
Install the command line tools in XCode preferences.

As far as your IDE choice, Eclipse is good, but I prefer Netbeans.
