I learning to write C code but i cant compile from the Xcode Program (this is the one i got for the iPhone Dev Kit, not sure if that makes a difference) but after i write the small program "hello World" i go to compile and its grayed out. what gives? what did i do wrong?
Got a tip for us?

Tell us, exactly, how you created your project. Note if you did not start with a new project then you can't compile from within XCode. Creating a new C file or whatever outside a project will not work...
then thats my problem! i just started a new file not a project.

Ok so i tried gcc -0 hello hello.c
and it makes a second file with no ext. what ext do i use to for the out put file? In windows it makes a exe file what does it make in the mac os?
then how do i run it from the cmd line? when i type hello (the name of the output file it just faults out "-bash .........."
It is not -0 (zero) it is -o (small letter o). There is no need for an extension for Mac OS X executables.
