So, I'm a brand new CS student, on a Mac, and I'm learning C++ for one of my classes. And I have a dumb question about how to compile my super basic C++ program.
I installed Xcode, and I'm looking through the documentation to try and figure out how to use it (and I highly suspect it's extremely overpowered for what I'm doing right now) and eventually end up going into Terminal and going "gcc [filename]". And I've got a screen full of text that starts with "Undefined Symbols", and goes on about trying to reference things, so I'm wondering if I didn't hook up something somewhere, especially as when I'm actually in Xcode with a C++ program open, most of the menu items are greyed out.
So. In really really basic terms. What did I miss doing, and how do I fix it? Is there a basic guide to Xcode? Most of the documentation is aimed at real developers, and I'm totally missing a lot of what is being assumed.
