macOS Xcode program won't run on any other mac besides mine

[Jennygrrl]

Hi everyone

I wrote a C++ program and compiled it in xcode. It runs, but only on my Mac. I think this might be because i have the xcode tools installed but my other Mac doesnt (They are both Intel macs).

Does anyone know how i can get my C++ program to work on another Mac without the dev tools? You can do this with Visual basic on Windows, so why not on a Mac?

thanks!

P.S. If this makes any difference, here is my code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	int num1, num2, num3;
	int sum;

	printf("Please enter the first number: ");
	scanf("%d%*c", &num1);   

	printf("Please enter the second number: ");
	scanf("%d%*c", &num2);
	
	printf("Please enter the third number: ");
	scanf("%d%*c", &num3);

	sum = num1 + num2 + num3;
	
	printf("The sum of the three numbers is: %d\n", sum);

	return(0);
}

You need to change the build configuration. Choose Project > Set Active Build Configuration > Release then rebuild and it should work. The Debug configuration allows you to debug but will only work on the computer it's built on.

This really needs to be a sticky, it comes up so frequently.
