I have the source code for a relatively complex C ++ application that includes many libraries, dependencies, etc. I am trying to take it and add Cocoa GUI to it. I still haven't done the following:
- Create a new Cocoa xcodeproj and try moving all the libraries, etc. into the Cocoa app. I just can't build it. Thousands of mistakes no matter what I do. My mastery here is simply not enough to understand what is happening.
So, I think a simpler method should be to make the appropriate changes to C ++ xcodeproj so that the main () function starts NSApplication instead of what it is doing right now.
Does anyone know what I need to do to make this happen? I'm new to Cocoa, so I'm not sure what I will have to add. For reference, the main.cpp C ++ application is actually very simple:
int main() {
ofSetupOpenGL(320,300, OF_WINDOW);
ofRunApp(new testApp());
}
I would like to make all the right changes so that it can be:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
return NSApplicationMain(argc, (const char **) argv);
}
And try the old xcodeproj compiler with all the “files” in it, and then when it starts, open the Cocoa window.
It should be noted that C ++ xcodeproj has absolutely nothing to do with Cocoa or even Objective-C related to it, so we will need to add everything that matters and make all the appropriate changes.
Any ideas?
(Or, conversely, if you know how I can easily get all things from C ++ xcodeproj to build a squeaky clean Cocoa xcodeproj, let me know, but that seems to me more complicated at the moment.)
Thank!
