how to install C on Mac

[michau]

Hi, I just began a new course at uni and I'm gonna have to use C. I
have never used it before (my programming experience is Java, Ruby,
SQL, assembly), so I was wondering how do you install it on Mac
machine?
What installers to use? Which are the best (I will use it for
graphical applications)? What good tutorials are there?

Thanks,

Michal

Check out:
http://developer.apple.com/

The easy answer it go with XCode and it's C compiler.

I actually will have to develop some graphic apps using OpenGL. Do I
have to install anything special for that to work (apart from XCode)?

If you the system installation discs they should include
developer tools with the GCC, XCode, and everything else.
You can install GCC et al and use that anyway you want.

You can develop as any other Unix with make and shell and
all that, or use XCode and its tools for development.

I think the disc image can also be downloaded from Apple.

If you use the Apple developer tools, you just start the
installer, click a few things, and it installs all of that.
Graphical applications are usually in the Aqua windowing
which is not the X-Windows of other Unices. You can also
install X-Windows if you want. You can also use various
Tks.

Note, too, that Xcode-specific questions are best asked on Apple's
Xcode mailing list and Apple-specific development questions are best
asked on their Cocoa-dev and Carbon-dev mailing lists, if they aren't
covered by a more specific mailing list. They are among the best such
resources I've seen, and if you have an Apple-specific question,
you'll get by far the best help there.
