Actually, I intend to develop for the iPhone. I suppose I could join for $99 and ask about which development tools to use for my back end process on the iPhone.<br />
<br />
Cool.<br />
<br />
Does joining the Mac Development Program help me get access to compilers?<br />
<br />
Is GCC a command line compiler? <br />
Does the GNU license require me to reveal my source code?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Is GCC a command line compiler?
Does the GNU license require me to reveal my source code?


Thanks.

I have a new PC and want to start writing software. Is it true the GCC is included? If so, where is it?<br />
I do have al my installation disks.<br />
<br />
What other compilers can I use to write Objective C or C++ on the Mac?<br />
<br />

Finding a compiler on my Mac Pro OS X Snow Leopard

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.

Apple Hardware

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

Mac OS X

Objective-C is an object-oriented programming language that is a strict superset of C (any valid C code is equally valid Objective-C code), and it inherits its object-oriented capabilities from Smalltalk. All procedural syntax is identical to that of C, and all object-oriented syntax is an implementation of Smalltalk messaging. It is the main programming language used by Apple for OS-X and iOS and their respective APIs/ Objective-C inherits the syntax, primitive types, and flow control statements of C and adds syntax for defining classes and methods.
