I need a free c compiler for Mac and I don't know where to find a good and easy one. Apple developer has some but they're too hard too use. I'm just begining to program so I don't want to spend a lot of money. Please help!

You get what you pay for. Don't expect an easy-to-use compiler for nothing. CodeWarrior has a pretty good intro-to-programming type of thing (or used to) that was reasonably inexpensive, however - I think it was about $50 or so, and less for students. Check out the Metrowerks Web site. p

get "Macintosh Programmer Workgroup" or so, short MPW. Its free, its from apple, and it is not so easy to use. Get it somewhere from ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/ ...err....CoreUtils...MPW_GM or so or search the apple site and your get Project Builder and C compiler for free with MacOS X

Uh, he just said Apple's were too hard to use. If you ask me, that's probably not Apple's problem - they write their developer software for developers, not beginners - but I don't know if Metrowerks even still offers that intro package. p

i mean with "not easy to use" that you need some time to find out, how compiling etc works (MPW uses kind of command line interface). Not like in CodeWarrior where you just have to click onto a "Compile" button. But i think also beginners can use it :o) pro MPW: MrC/MrC++, the compiler comming with MPW (also available as CodeWarrior Plugin) is said to produce faster code than the one from Metrowerks. MPW is free. If you should decide, coding is not the right for you, you havent wasted any money. MPW is from apple. You always get latest updates. Metrowerks wants money for the third update i think. (it was so back those times i bought CW) pro CW: CW comes with whole lot of documentation, examples, tutorials. Most Sample Code you will find on the Web will be for CodeWarrior. Its easy to use. In the Academic/Student version its about...hmmm..i think $200 or so...check their website :o) last thing: if your mac is "new generation", you should seriously consider upgrading to MacOS X. you get a compiler (easy to use!) for free with it! nuff said, now decide hehe :o)
