Here is a downloadable template to create an OpenGL GLUT Application (using an app bundle) for the people who haven’t figured out how to use Xcode 100% as yet.

There area Xcode templates freely available for SDL OpenGL projects but not for GLUT so I’m providing this one myself. I think I found this on a MacRumors thread so I cannot take credit for this but anyway, enjoy.

If you’re programming C++ classes and happen to get a linking error similar to this:

ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
“RTSUserInterface::UserInterface::UserInterface()”, referenced from:

The problem is that you haven’t written the body for your class constructors and destructors in your implemenation (.cpp) file. I consider this a reminder.

I have started writing Java programs at uni and i’m required to add a Java package called B102.jar to the compiler.
Well, the university doesn’t support anyting other than Windows so it was a pain trying to figure out how to use Xcode and use their ‘B102.jar’ package. Anyway to add a .jar package to Xcode for compilation, all you need to do is add your .jar package to:

/System/Library/Java/Extensions/

That’s it. Now when you type import B102.*; for example, it will compile correctly.
