Current direction I'm going is using jGrasp for the IDE and whatever
compiler I can get my hands on. (I'm looking at the g++) However, your
post
gives me hope that all I need to do is give jGrasp the path to a copy of
the
XTools compiler which is probably on his computer. If this is correct,
can
you give me any clue as to the directory structure used? Once that path
is
in there I think we are okay for simply compiles and run (this is a
basic
course).
If/once the Developer Tools are installed, "c++" should be on
the PATH. To make that the default C++ compiler for jGRASP,
go to "Settings" / "Compiler Settings" / "Workspace", select
language "C++" if not already selected, select compiler
environment "c++ (g++) - Mac OS X" and hit the "use" button.
If some "g++" is installed, the default compiler environment in
jGRASP will work.
Thank you, that is exactly what I was thinking. The student has already
found a link to downloading jGrasp at the Apple site. The only problem I see
now is that he needs Java (JVM) installed to run jGrasp. I don't know if
there is a Java Runtime in the OS X system or if we also have to download
and install the JVM from Sun. If you have any further information about this
I would appreciate it.
