I don't know, but Xcode can compile C++ just fine. I can't imagine it won't do C as well, but you can check on that. Of course, you can install any command line compiler you wish, and GCC as part of Terminal may still be included as part of Xcode (I never use it so don't know for certain). > > - are make/nmake available as well? Again, I'm not sure, but those would probably get installed with any compiler. I've never dealt much with C, sorry.

It's big, a little over 5GB, but will let you play with C++, Objective-C, and Swift (see my note about C, above). > - are GUI based tools accessible via VoiceOver? Xcode is mostly accessible, though I haven't done advanced debugging, used breakpoints, or anything like that. I think Tyler and Barry have, so hopefully they can jump in here. > * * * * * * * * * > Bill Gallik > [email protected] > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
