Back to The general FAQ for GreatCow Basic

This is a work in progress! When You feel it lacks important Questions, please report

in the current FAQ Thread.

Hint: It is always a good Idea to consult the Help System first. Many Questions are discussed there.

1. Installing

The GCB compiler now runs natively on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) onwards.

The precompiled version of the GCB compiler available with the graphical installer is a 64 bit application that has been tested on High Sierra 10.13 and Mohave 10.14. The Great Cow BASIC Help contains comprehensive instructions for compiling your own version of the GCB compiler.

The native compiler is much faster than running the Windows version under WINE or Virtual Box or Parallels or VMware. The Windows Graphical GCB compiler and Windows IDE is not available, but there are many macOS IDE alternatives (eg Geany, Emacs, etc).

For an in deep description please look in the Help System here: overview_apple_macos_great_cow_basic

At the moment the FAQ for MAC OS is still quite empty.
If you have suggestions, please post them in the forum, thank you!
