Making a .app in C++

I'm a fairly experienced C++ programmer, and have been using gcc in the terminal to compile programs in OSX. I'm trying to build a program to offer online as a download, but the problem is when you transfer the program to another program the permissions get messed up. You have to open up the terminal and do a chmod to fix the permissions. Then, you can just double click the program and it "auto-runs" in the terminal.
Is there a way to build the C++ program in such a way that you can transfer it from computer to computer and keep the same executable permissions? The program is a data crunching type program, where the console (cout and cin) is used for communication with the user.
Any ideas?

  • What kind of programming background do you need to start making iOS apps?

    I have zero knowledge of programming. I have done programming about 7 years ago and it was extremely basic stuff and mostly to do with C. I have learnt BASIC language (wonder if its even worth mentioning) in school!! But, I really want to program. Even if it takes a long time. How do I get started??

    Your question "What kind of programming background do you need to start making iOS apps?" does not have a single answer. Thanks to the internet, nowadays its possible to start from zero. You can find an answer for even the most basic question on the internet. It just a question of time and effort. If you have
    the time
    no pressing deadline and a
    high frustration tolerance
    just go ahead and do it.

  • [SOLVED] Having trouble making QT apps use GTK theme

    Hello everyone, I'm having trouble making QT apps use my GTK theme in openbox.
    Some apps seem to work just fine but others don't.
    ^Such as above, as you can see VLC is working, as is qtconfig, but k9copy and k3b are not.
    I've did the suggestions that are listed in the wiki. (http://tinyurl.com/ybhb7yr)
    And even rebooted after I did them, still no go.
    My .gtkrc-2.0 file simply contains:
    gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks_blackblue"
    gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
    Does anyone have any ideas why it's not working with k9copy and k3b/how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Yes, but don't they use QT?
    And if not, what do they use? lol. And is there anyway to make them use my GTK theme?

  • Using library images when making phone apps in AIR

    Gidday guys
    A lot of the tutorials I'm getting through practice embedding their images when making phone apps, and put these images in their assets folder.
    I'm wondering - is it not OK to simply use images as symbols from your Flash Pro library?
    I'm not refering to splashscreens or icons - rather images that make up the app's functionality.
    I thought it may be something to do with supplying multiple images for different screen res', but I'm planning on designing at 640x960, and using...
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
    ...to take care of different resolutions.
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes - I do this with my desktop AIR app.
    What I'm wondering though is it OK to do this for phone apps, or is there some advantage to emedding the images and putting them in your project's assets folder? eg phones being able to cache images from assets, but not if the images are built into the swf.

    Just like 10 best jokes etc.

    That would be a copyright violation.
    If Apple requests it, you have to be able to show documentation that shows you have the right to use the content in your app.

  • TS1702 problems making in app purchases

    I have had continual issues making in-app purchases. The problem will get fixed then it will not work a couple days later. It's very aggravating. I'm totally frustrated with Apple.

    What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?

  • TS1702 I'm having trouble making in app purchases

    Trying to make an in app purchase and it saying that my debit card info doesn't match my account I have no idea what that means. I've never bought anything through the App Store.

    You would need the following:
    1. You will need to have a valid billing address in the country
    2. You will need a credit card with the same billing address
    3. You will need to be physically present in the country at the time of
    purchase

  • Making an App like the Stocks App(the different sections)

    I've decided to make my app very similar to the Stocks App.
    Now the stocks app has 2 sections on its MainView. The chart and the table of stocks..
    How do I seperate my main view into those sections?
    I'd also like to have a table in my top section.
    The bottom one will just display 3 pictures. (numbers 1-9)
    So yea, the main question is What must i put in my program to make a Table like that of the Stocks app?
    I'm just starting out so any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Yeah that's exactly what im trying to figure out, would it just be a custom tableView? outfitted with a custom background image? How would we get about that, any idea?

  • I have problems making in app purchases on my iPad. This is a reoccurring problem, though it's not every time that I try to make an "in app" purchase.

    I am having on and off problem with "in app" purchases. Am I doing something in the wrong order? I put in my correct account name and password. Is this a common problem? I also sometimes have problems with storage space. I know that I only have the 16GB version, but does anyone have any tips on saving hard drive space and managing and connecting my iCloud account to work better with my iPad. I know, I should know this stuff already, but please give me a break. I'm relatively a newbie at using and manipulating my Apple products. For many years I only used pc's and only used my iPod for listening to music. Thanks for any help. Seriously.

  • Gmail making Mail app run slowly!

    I have been teaching my fiancé how to use his iBook G4 (for more than just writing school papers.) He has a Gmail account that I have set up to work with the Mail app on OSX Panther. He now has a bad opinion of Mail because the app is really really slow to load up his new messages, (lots of that spinning wheel action!) and it makes his computer respond slowly to everything. Sometimes we have to force quit the application just to make the computer usable again.
    I have set up his computer to my .Mac email and my other POP mail server, and neither of those accounts make Mail behave like that. Anybody have any similar experiences with Gmail? Any suggestions? Should we download Gmail's app instead?
    Thanks in advance!

    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
