I'm trying to learn some of the basics of Cocoa by following along an Apple Developer guide. Currently, I have this Cocoa sample code that I want to run in XCode, but it simply won't let me build/run a single file.

I don't want to create a whole project, just run a simple file! Any help is appreciated. :) Let me know if I wasn't descriptive enough on anything.

Thanks

Or you can compile with gcc.
Code: 
gcc -framework Cocoa -o <output file> <input file>
(Or something like that -- I'm not by my OS X machine to test)
Not sure if this will work for applications with nibs, but for straight Obj-C + Cocoa it should. The O'Reilly "Objective-C Pocket Reference" explains exactly how to do it.

EDIT: I got off of my *** and grabbed the book - I was wrong, I can't remember which book it was that explains it.

I believe it's: gcc Filename(s) -o OutputFilename

I think you mean Stephen Kochan's "Programming in objective-c". Also not sure on applications with nibs.
