I want to understand what code Xcode produces so that, if I wanted, I could write all the files for my program in a text editor and compile them from a Unix command line. In my simple example (using Interface Builder), I have a single button: an object of the class NSButton which I call buttonToPress, and some text: an object of the class NSTextField which I call numberToDisplay. Using Interface Builder, I make a new object of (my own) class BAFoo that tells what number to display when the button is pressed.
Now, I have inspected the files that were made when I created this program, the only interesting ones being BAFoo.*, but I don't see where there is code instantiating the objects buttonToPress or numberToDisplay, nor do I see where the appropriate files (NSTextField.h and NSButton.h) were included. I am new to programming. Can you help me out? Feel free to correct me if I used the incorrect language.
