compiling c++ in terminal

When you have installed Xcode with the gcc compilers, use

g++ -o output file.cpp

Then run the programm with

./output

Programs or sources?

When you have only c++ programs, open your terminal and change with

cd Desktop

to the desktop. Then use:

./program

Or drag the program to the terminal window.

Have you sources, change to the desktop and use g++, as in the last post described.

Rewrite it to remove all that turboc console I/O.

Unfortunately, no. That is only because I just don't know of any and haven't looked. I'm sure there are hundreds of such examples and tutorials. The thing you have to remember is that the only part of the process that is Mac-specific is launching Terminal.app. Once you have a command line, building on a Mac is the same as building on any UNIX or Linux system. 95% of the documentation you find for those systems will be applicable to MacOS X.

No pointers to particular books, but I've generally been pleased with O"Reilly's titles. Some of them are free on-line, too. Probably worth a look.
