macOS Creating C++ with external lib - Xcode 3.2

[pazimi]

hey.

I'm a programmer and for the past five-or-six years, I was programming in ActionScript, Java, C++ and a dozen more languages. but, I've never used Xcode before.

Now, I'm running Xcode 3.2 on SnowLeopard. I want to create a simple console program with C++. but I can't! If you don't know, Xcode 3.2 is kinda different with Xcode 3.1 and I couldn't find anywhere how to do this.

here, you can find the library I want to use:
http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs106b/materials/MyProject-mac.zip

in the <cs106> folder.

well, It's cool. but I CAN'T create a project like this!

can someone please describe me, how to:
*create a project with Xcode, with C++ and not ObjectiveC
*how to attach libraries
*and anything else needed in order that i can run a simple program like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include "genlib.h"
#include "simpio.h"
#include "vector.h"

string readFile(string fileName) {
	ifstream in;
	in.open(fileName.c_str());
	if(in.fail()) {
		in.clear();
		Error("Error loading file!");
	}
	string text;
	while(true) {
		string line;
		getline(in, line);
		if(in.fail()) {
			in.clear();
			break;
		}
		text += line;
	}
	return text;
}

void writeFile(string fileName, string text) {
	ofstream out;
	out.open(fileName.c_str());
	if(out.fail()) {
		out.clear();
		Error("Error creating file");
	}
	out << text;
}


int main() {
	string input = readFile("info.plist");
	cout << input << endl;
	string outputFileName = GetLine();
	writeFile(outputFileName, input);
	return 0;
}

I don't know why, but every time I try to INCLUDE something lice "vector.h" or "set.h", this stupid IDE gives me a lot of errors. and all of them are nonsense! 26 errors for nothing!
just comment the line that includes "vector.h" and it works fine! strange, hah?

** actually I have two questions, 1: how to create a C++ program in Xcode 3.2 without pain, and 2: why I can't run this piece of code?

I don't know what to do or where to go, except macrumors, 'cause I know nobody using Xcode.


Thank you so much, I'm not a newbie to programming, not at all, but i've got confused with this new, stupid Xcode 3.2
and, sorry for bad english!

The project you're trying to compile has setting specified that are not appropriate for use under Xcode 3.2 and Mac OS X 10.6

In order for your project to compile -

• From within Xcode go to the "Project" menu and select "Edit Project Settings".
  A dialog window titled 'Project "MyProject" Info' will apear.
  
• If not currently selected select the "Build" tab.
  
• Change the "Base SDK" to "Mac OS X 10.5" or later.
  
• Close the 'Project "MyProject" Info' setting dialog.

The project should now compile without errors or warnings.
