Rob, While you do have to install the development tools to get Apples gcc, you don't need to use xcode. I primarily program linux console apps, linux kernel drivers and embedded firmware. BBEdit, terminal, gcc, and make work much better than an IDE for me. If you're primarily doing astrophysics computation apps, the bulk of your work is under the hood anyway. People will thank you if you don't tie your program to a particular OS and GUI toolset. At least I will!
BTW, if you're working in C++, you'll also be interested in using Boost. http://www.boost.org/ - Steve On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 4:42 PM, RobS <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Rich.
